Pre-Conference Seminar

Basics of Small Wind Turbines

Palau Firal i Congressos, Tarragona, Spain – April 28th, 2010

Small wind turbines can be combined with PV and other electricity generating components to provide electrical power in hybrid systems and mini-grids. The one-day seminar will give an introduction to small wind turbines, covering the following topics:

• potentials and challenges,
• state of technology, turbine concepts, system integration and optimisation,
• performance, costs, quality, safety and certification,
• planning, installation and operation,
• example projects and field experience.

The seminar will focus on small wind turbines with nominal power ranging from a few hundred watts up to about 30 kW.
