Choosing windpower

This book shows the reader how to assess their site for its wind potential, work out how much electricity they need and size the turbine they will require to meet that need. Readers find out where to place their turbine for maximum efficiency and how to manage the flow of electricity. It includes case studies and technical comparisons of small commercially available turbines.
