Small-scale wind turbines
Small-scale wind turbines
This chapter deals with micro and small wind turbines and focuses on small wind turbines in the United Kingdom over the past decade (2005-15), which represents a period of "boom and bust" for building mounted micro-wind turbines in particular. The sector was trying to break out from yacht battery charging to the emerging grid connected micro-generation sector during this period. Micro-wind turbines are typically defined as having a rated power up to 1.5. kWp (where p refers to peak power) and their most widely used application is in yachts for battery charging. Small wind turbines are rated between 1.5 and 100. kWp and are generally free standing, pole or tower mounted turbines. Small wind turbines at the lower end of this range are sometimes used in off-grid systems, but turbines above 20. kWp are almost always grid connected. The majority of micro and small wind turbines are horizontal axis three blade designs.

Abstract
This chapter deals with micro and small wind turbines and focuses on small wind turbines in the United Kingdom over the past decade (2005-15), which represents a period of "boom and bust" for building mounted micro-wind turbines in particular. The sector was trying to break out from yacht battery charging to the emerging grid connected micro-generation sector during this period. Micro-wind turbines are typically defined as having a rated power up to 1.5. kWp (where p refers to peak power) and their most widely used application is in yachts for battery charging. Small wind turbines are rated between 1.5 and 100. kWp and are generally free standing, pole or tower mounted turbines. Small wind turbines at the lower end of this range are sometimes used in off-grid systems, but turbines above 20. kWp are almost always grid connected. The majority of micro and small wind turbines are horizontal axis three blade designs.
