Those planning to
install wind power generators also must contend with zoning laws and neighbors that don't want the eyesore of a turbine «souring» their view.
Not exact matches
«When properly
installed,
wind vortex
generators energize the flow around a blade's surface and reduce aerodynamic separation, improving the turbine's performance in terms of
power, loads and service life.»
Factors taken into account are: low thermal efficiency at low
power; cycling of back up
generators; energy needed to build and to
install wind turbines; energy needed for cabling and net adaptation; increase of fuel consumption through partial replacement of efficient
generators by low - efficiency, fast reacting Open Cycle Gas Turbines.
Another good idea (but more capital - intensive) would be for farmers who use diesel
generators as a main source of
power to
install a small
wind turbine or some solar panels and to only use the
generator as backup.
