21 Frequently Asked Questions About Wind Energy
American Wind Energy Association The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is a trade and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. AWEA represents the U.S. wind energy industry and individuals who support clean energy in the Legislative/Regulatory, Public Relations, and International arenas. Its annual Windpower meeting is the only U.S. national conference devoted solely to wind energy and features technical papers from experts in all areas of the field.
Basics of Wind Energy Basic information on wind energy conversion efficiency.
Bergey Wind Power Bergey Windpower Co. (BWC) manufactures small wind turbines that are used to provide clean, reliable, and cost-effective electrical power to homes, villages, telecommunications sites, and other remote facilities of all types. They also produce wind-electric water pumping systems that provide drinking and irrigation water. Their systems are often used in rural areas not served by utility grid power, but they also offer grid-connected models that homeowners can use to reduce their electric bill. Site includes wind tutorial and FAQs.
British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) Acting to promote the use of wind power - an abundant, clean and sustainable source of energy - in the United Kingdom and throughout the world.
Cranfield Wind Turbine Research Group Wind Energy in the U.K. Wind energy is currently viewed as one of the most promising of the renewable energy sources, with an enormous resource in the British Isles and a steadily maturing technology base in Europe and North America.
Danish Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association Wind Energy in Depth: Largest on the Web. Learn more about wind energy in more than 100 animated pages on wind resources, wind turbine technology, economics, and environmental aspects of wind energy in the Guided Tour section. They have just added six pages on Shadow Casting from Wind Turbines, including a powerful graphic Shadow Calculator. They have also added two pages on variable speed operation.
energynautics Wind energy development around the Pacific.
FFA Wind Energy The Wind Energy Department develops methods and collects data to support further Swedish development of wind energy technology towards better cost effectiveness and safety. The department also carries out consultative work for Swedish and foreign wind energy industry and power companies.
Finnish Wind Power Association Finnish Wind Power Association (Suomen Tuulivoimayhditys r.y.,STY) was founded in 1988, to promote the utilization of the wind energy in Finland - as well in large scale as among DIY-people.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wind Energy
Frisse Wind Frisse Wind is a cooperative -- located in Amsterdam -- that is promoting alternative energy production in the Netherlands. By alternative energy we mean energy produced by the sun, by water, by wind, or by decomposing biological materials. This can be used instead of energy produced by gas, oil, coal and nuclear fuel. Frisse Wind concentrates on producing electrical energy by means of advanced wind turbines (modern day windmills).

Harnessing Wind, Solar and Micro Hydro Power Makes Living in Remote Locations Possible If you want to know how residential scale alternate energy systems work and how these systems can be used to live "off the grid", or to save on your utility power bills, you came to the right place.
Hybrid Energy Systems Hybrid Energy Systems is a research group based at DeMontfort University Lincoln, School of Agriculture and Horticulture. Hybrid Energy Systems is part of the Innovative Technolgy Group, which also research's into the development of waste incinerators for use in remote location, click here for a link to Incinerator project work. The research group is constructing a pioneering project, believed to be one of the first of its kind in the world, which brings together eco-friendly energy sources which could revolutionise the way our power is generated.
International Wind Energy Incentives This paper is designed to act as a menu of a variety of policies which have been very successful at encouraging the development of wind power. It can be used as a supplement to other American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) publications such as the "Fact Sheet on International Wind Energy Incentives," and "Strategies for Promoting Wind Energy." In addition, the United States Export Council for Renewable Energy (US/ECRE) has published "The Renewable Energy Policy Manual" which can be utilized in conjunction with this document.
Locally-Owned Wind Energy Feasibility Project The purpose of the project was to determine the feasibility of farmer-initiated and owned wind energy developments in Minnesota. The project was done in collaboration with the Sustainable Energy for Economic Development project (SEED) and was carried out by staff of the Cooperative Development Services, the Minnesota Project, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
