![]() ![]() Even if you aren’t a professional, you can at least make approximations about a site’s viability before deciding to consult a professional for further planning. Unless you have proper experience in this, you should leave the accurate determining of the wind speed and its direction(s) to professionals. Wind speed and direction(s): This means that the windiness of the site of choice needs to be determined if its appropriate.Also take into account that the taller the tower, the more the installation and maintenance will cost. If there were trees and buildings around with the tallest tree/building about 40 ft within 500 ft, then the height of the wind blades’ bottom from the surface should be 70 ft(30 ft + 40 ft) at minimum. a tower about 30 ft from surface to the wind blades’ bottom should suffice. For example, if there are wide open spaces without trees or buildings within about 500 ft. A common rule of thumb is that the bottom of the turbine blade(s) is at least 30 feet from obstacles. This means that the higher the turbine/tower, the better this is also because the further away the turbine is from the ground, the less wind shear and turbulence will occur as a result of surface obstacles like buildings and trees. How high the turbine needs to be: First thing to know is that wind power is related to the turbine/tower height cubed.If you are still interested, there are few things to know regarding what is needed at a site for good power generation: ![]() Before deciding whether wind is suitable, it’s important to know that wind power is most variable and potentially has the most costly installation and maintenance of the three renewable power sources.įor one small wind tower, the wind turbine can cost $300-$1500+ and the mounting tower (60-80 ft) can cost $3000 to $10,000+. Wind turbines are then used to convert the wind’s kinetic energy into rotary motion to drive the alternator and produce clean electrical power. Wind is created via unequal heating of the earth. ![]()
