WIND TURBINES - ALTERNATIVE GREEN ENERGY
Federal/State Incentives -
DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility and federal
incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. Established
in 1995 and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, DSIRE is an ongoing project
of the N.C. Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council.
Wind Energy & Noise -
A very nice PDF write-up by the 'American Wind Energy System'. It talks about noise and in particular the
'noise' that a typical wind turbine might make. A very good read for those curious about the wind turbine
and the noise level it produces.
What is Wind Energy? -
A PDF file that you can download or print. A very useful write-up explaining what wind energy is
and what a wind energy turbine is and how it works. Great information for those not very
familiar with the vast potential of wind energy.
Wind Power Myths/Facts -
Another PDF file you can download or print. A good write-up debunking a number of wind energy myths and
setting the record straight on what wind energy is and isn't. This PDF copy also addresses some common
preconceptions concerning wind energy.
Net Metering -
This PDF talks about 'Net Metering', a policy implemented by some states and electric utilities
to ensure that any extra electricity produced by an on-site generator, such as a small wind system,
can be sent back into the utility system for fair credit. A very important read to understand
the vast benefits of a wind energy system.
U.S. Wind Map -
Wind Powering America is a commitment to dramatically increase the use of wind energy in
the United States. This initiative will establish new sources of income for American farmers,
Native Americans, and other rural landowners, and meet the growing demand for clean sources
of electricity. Check the wind power capacity for the past 10 years in all areas of the country.
Wind Resource Data -
Many useful products available. Perform easy and in-depth wind and solar site comparisons
with a robust set of data, Check wind data such as annual and monthly wind speed plus annual
wind rose, quickly compare resource potential for any location worldwide and many others.
Power-One Products -
As one of the world’s ten largest providers of power conversion and power management solutions, Power-One is one of
only a few companies with the product breadth to support every step in the refinement of
utility-grade AC into the various DC voltages required to power high-availability
infrastructure systems.
