American Zephyr Airdolphin PRO 48VDC Wind Turbine, Z-1000-48

Zephyr combines advanced wind turbine technology with Japan’s world-renowned manufacturing craftsmanship, to successfully develop the Airdolphin Z-1000-48 PRO 1000 watt wind turbine — a next-generation, low-mass wind turbine which instantly adapts to changing wind conditions, from slight to stormy. The total weight of the Airdolphin PRO is 17.5 kg (38.5 lbs). Unlike larger turbines, the [...]

Wind Power in Power Systems

Thomas Ackermann(Editor) As environmental concerns have focussed attention on the generation of electricity from clean and renewable sources, wind energy has become the world’s fastest growing energy source. The authors draw on substantial practical experience to address the technical, economic and safety issues inherent in the exploitation of wind power in a competitive electricity market. [...]

Southwest Windpower Air-X Land 12V Wind Turbine

Microprocessor-Based Technology The AIR is by far the world’s number one selling small wind turbine.In late 2001 we introduced an entirely new level of technology previously found only in state-of-the-art mega-watt-class wind turbines. The Air X incorporates a new microprocessor-based technology that results in increased performance, improved battery charging capability, greater reliability and the reduction [...]

Wind turbine

What is a wind turbine? A wind turbine is also referred to as a windmill or wind generator. Though the terms are used interchangeably, there is a minor difference. The wind turbine is the device that makes use of the wind energy to produce mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then used as is or [...]

Wind power solutions at home

With the world’s ever-increasing demand of power being more than its supply, it is about time that we take concrete steps to save power. Apart from being conscious about the usage of power and water at home, one can employ pollution-free and cost-effective power solutions at our homes. Solar power solutions and wind power solutions [...]

Wind generator

What is a wind generator? A wind generator is a machine that uses wind energy to produce electrical energy. It captures wind energy and converts it into mechanical energy that moves the blades of a motor to produce electrical energy. Wind generators help produce thousands of megawatts of electricity. They are also a very popular [...]

Living The Green Energy Home Dream

With all the advances in green energy technology, it is easier than ever to start converting your home into a green energy home.  A green energy home utilizes renewable resources to provide electricity, hot water, heat and peace of mind. There are several ways to implement your green energy home plan.  The first is solar [...]

Making wind power

Wind energy is readily available but wind power is not. Unfortunately, the wind power system has not reached the status of becoming a regular power system. However, the good news is that the concept is picking up. Why is wind power important? Wind power makes sense in these times when the demand far exceeds the [...]

Making electricity

How is electricity produced conventionally? Conventionally, electricity is produced by moving colossal turbines. These turbines are moved with the help of various types of energy. Let’s look at the most conventional ways of producing electrical energy: • By using various fuels and water – Water is heated on a large-scale in furnaces. The vapor generated [...]
