"Wind Energy Made in Germany" This information package provides you with compact information about Germany's export and service possibilities and you will find the well known German Wind Energy Statistics.
Wind Energy Potential in the United States An article by D.L. Elliott and M.N. Schwartz. Estimates of the electricity that could potentially be generated by wind power and of the land area available for wind energy have been calculated for the contiguous United States. The estimates are based on published wind resource data and exclude windy lands that are not suitable for development as a result of environmental and land-use considerations.
Wind Energy Research at the University of Utah Wind energy research at the University of Utah is devoted to improving wind turbine system modeling capabilities.
Wind Energy Resources EcoNet's links to wind energy resources.
Wind Energy Conversion System Controls Efficient wind turbines need to be able to run unattended, regardless of weather or load conditions, sensing voltage overloads and sorting out the difference between gusting high winds and continuous gale drafts. The advent of solid state electronics has made it possible to incorporate many important controls into the design of wind systems.
Wind Energy Training Course Through the support of the European Union, staff in IESD are developing distance learning material on wind energy. The material is primarily aimed at personnel already within or being trained for the wind industry world wide, but may also be used as a credited course in University and College training. The course has a hierarchical modular structure; you may follow the course in a sequential way, or you may study one or more modules as a stand alone unit. Using the on-board course resources you may follow material to the level that you require, and more advanced material may be accessed as your knowledge grows.
Wind Energy - What Is It? A fact sheet about wind energy and its use in Hawaii.
Wind Farm Generates Interest as Well as Energy For years, motorists approaching Palm Springs, Calif. on Interstate 10 have stopped to snap photos of a surrealistic landscape studded with gigantic pinwheels. It's the Wintec Wind Farm, where a forest of more than 4,000 flailing windmills generates enough energy to light up a city the size of San Francisco.
Windharvester The Windharvester has a rated output of 45kW and a rotor diameter of 17m. It has a 3 bladed fixed pitch stall regulated rotor, with a diameter of 17m and an induction generator designed for grid connection. It is currently connected to a flywheel store which absorbs and regenerates energy to smooth the variations in wind power.
WindMap™ - A Wind Resource Prediction and Mapping Tool for Personal Computers Suddenly life has become a little easier for wind prospectors and developers. WindMap™ is a new computer program for predicting and mapping wind speeds over large and small areas. Designed for use with modern geographical information systems (GIS) on Windows 95/NT personal computer systems, it is inexpensive, easy to use, extremely flexible, and is based on proven meteorological principles and analytical techniques.
Wind Power: A Growing Renewable Energy Resource The purpose of this web site is to provide a simple tutorial about using wind power to generate electricity. It includes an information about the resource base, technology, current use and future potential of wind generated electricity. This web site also includes links to other web sites offering more in depth information on wind power and renewable energy technologies. Hopefully you can find a link to answer your questions.
WINDPOWER MONTHLY - The International Journal of Wind Energy Development Their aim is to extend your knowledge of the role being played by an important new technology in the battle for today's electricity markets -- and of its potential to play a far greater role in meeting a fundamental need of tomorrow: the clean and safe supply of electricity to all.
