Micro-wind turbines in urban environments an assessment
Phillips, Richard
Micro-wind turbines in urban environments an assessment - Garston BRE 2007 - 47p. 30cm.
Examines the likely effectiveness of small wind turbines mounted on domestic buildings in urban environments. Compares estimates of the environmental impact of the turbines manufacture, installation and maintenance with the impact saved by the electricity that could be expected to be generated during their useful life. Reveals that in addition to the initial embodied carbon and efficiency of the turbine, the payback period is very sensitive to local wind conditions, transport costs, and the maintenance requirements and service life of the turbines.
