DISTRIBUTED WIND ENERGY 101
Dive into the fundamentals of harnessing wind power on a decentralized scale. Distributed wind involves the deployment of one or a limited number of wind turbines in various settings such as homes, farms, businesses, and public facilities. These turbines serve the dual purpose of offsetting on-site energy consumption or forming small arrays strategically located near loads, a concept known as front-of-meter installations. Join us as we explore the essentials of this innovative approach to wind energy utilization.
