Microgeneration is the small-scale production of heat or electric power from a "low carbon source," as an alternative or supplement to traditional centralized grid-connected power. Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power
READ MOREThe energy conversion process in a small wind turbine involves several stages. Wind Impact: As the wind encounters the rotor blades, its kinetic energy is transferred to the blades, causing them to rotate. Mechanical Energy: The rotating blades transmit mechanical energy to the generator through a shaft.
READ MORESignificant advancements have been made in designing wind turbines over the past thirty years to cover a wide range of applications. Clausen and Wood (1999) classified relatively small size wind turbines into three categories based on their typical use by characterizing the wind turbine diameter (D) and the output power (P): micro (1.5 m;
