ResumoMost discussions concerning wind energy usually focus on utility-size projects on a megawatt scale and how to get such projects off the ground. Whilst silently whirring away in the background are the millions of small (less than 100kW) and micro-turbines (less than 5kW) that have been installed on a huge scale for decades making significant contributions to supplying electricity in off-grid and grid connected areas. Here we take a closer look at these unsung heroes of wind, issues surrounding their installation and use, and highlight companies around the world that manufacture a variety of small and micro-wind turbines for a range of applications.
