Wind Turbines

Wind turbines convert the power from the wind into electricity. This can then be stored in deep cycle leisure batteries or exported to the grid using an inverter. Wind turbines work best in open spaces without any obstructions interfering with the wind flow. The most common type of wind turbine is the horizontal axis turbine (HAWT). These are typically upwind turbines that have a tail to direct the blades into the wind. There are a few manufacturers who make downwind hawts. Another type of wind turbine is the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). These turbines are generally based on the Savonious turbine which uses drag forces or the Darrieus turbine which uses lift forces generated by an aerofoil.
