Abstract:
Small wind energy conversion systems (SWECS) have a number of qualities that make them an attractive addition to an electricity generation portfolio. For one, they are a renewable energy source that can be economic on small scale. Furthermore they operate with zero emissions. SWECS have the potential to play a crucial role in developing zero net emissions buildings, a role they have already taken in thousands of homes and small farms around the world. Consumers are insulated from most small and large fluctuations in the cost of electricity, and from the results of using fossil fuels to maintain inexpensive power. Balancing the great benefits of SWECS just mentioned is an equal number of concerns, obstacles, and barriers to the wide-spread use of SWECS. Atop the list is the fact that SWECS have not been successfully incorporated into urban settings. There are obstacles to such implementation as safety and maintenance.
