A small wind turbine (micro and mini wind turbines) is a system that uses the force of the wind to generate energy from renewable sources. Unlike large wind energy plants the technology allows the exploitation of air masses in the lower portion, consequently, allows a reduction of the impact on the landscape and the ecosystem existing compared to traditional systems, while still getting a good production of energy.
The cost for the construction of a plant of this type varies depending on the technology and the installed power, but is smaller than a conventional wind turbine.
The systems are classified according to how micro-wind power up to 20kW and mini-wind up to 200kW.
The fields of application are different depending on the size of the plant. Typical applications are the ridges of hills and valleys, but can also be applied to low-lying areas in the open field that present favorable conditions anemometer.
The different applications exploit different technologies between them, and may be used depending on the installed power and the context for the simple consumption or for the sale of energy. For all applications, the installed capacity depends on the wind speed and air density at the site that you want to take advantage of, as well as the conformation of the blade and then the area swept by the rotor, which represents the area down by the air mass movement.
The group Future Energy identifies opportunities for each individual the most efficient technology, also depending on the context in which the work will be carried out, sizing and installing vertical axis turbines (VAWT) or horizontal axis turbines (HAWT), including all auxiliary equipment for the proper functioning of the system and to manage the lifecycle of the plant in the field of Operation & Maintenance and Asset Management.
