Wind turbines
A wind turbine uses the energy stored in wind to drive a generator that produces electricity. A correctly sized turbine, in the correct location and coupled with battery storage, can produce the majority of the electricity required for most homes. A smaller turbine in the correct location will still reduce the electricity consumption and carbon footprint of a property or business. To achieve a good output, the turbine needs clean wind of sufficient strength. By clean wind, we mean that it is not unduly affected by buildings, trees, hills, etc. Manufacturers provide information on the anticipated output of the turbine for a range of average wind speeds, and the minimum and maximum wind speeds. The average wind speed for a location can be seen on this RenSMART map. Wind turbines Lincoln
