Small Wind Power: Decentralized Energy for Homes and Communities
Small wind power is gaining momentum as a viable solution for localized and sustainable electricity generation. Unlike large-scale wind farms, small wind turbines are designed for individual homes, farms, businesses, and remote communities, providing clean energy where grid access is limited or intermittent. As countries worldwide emphasize decentralized renewable systems, small wind power is emerging as a strategic complement to solar and battery storage.
What is Small Wind Power?
Small wind power systems typically refer to wind turbines with a capacity of up to 100 kW. These systems convert wind energy into electricity through rotor blades, a generator, and a controller. The electricity can be used on-site, stored in batteries, or fed into the grid (in grid-tied systems).
