Types of Wind Energy Systems

Small wind energy systems may be used in conjunction with standard power transmission or grid-connected system or in stand-alone applications which aren't connected to the grid. A grid-connected wind turbine can significantly lessen your consumption of conventional electrical power used for your home appliances. If your wind turbine system doesn’t supply enough energy the conventional electricity makes up for it. However if your home wind power system generates more electrical power than what is required in your households, the excess may be sold to the utility. Modern electronics provide an automatic switching solution for sustaining a power supply either from the grid or you stand alone wind turbine. Stand-alone wind power systems are usable in households, farm, and even an entire community that is located in a remote area.
