An Undervalued Source of Wind Energy?
Small and medium-scale wind turbines do not get as much attention as larger, utility-scale wind turbines. Recently the focus seems to have been on bigger and bigger turbines. But utility-scale wind is not an ideal solution everywhere, especially in less developed regions of the world without sufficient grid infrastructure into which to feed the power. In this article Frits Ogg gives his view on small and medium-scale wind, based on his visit to HUSUM WindEnergy.
