VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE ENERGY

Access clean and renewable wind power.

Provides reliable and cost effective, environmentally-friendly wind energy.


3.

The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) converts wind energy to electrical power. Wind pressure (wind speed) on the cage blades cause the cage structure to rotate producing current flow and the associated voltage Vertical Axis Wind Generators may be easily installed in almost any location with good wind exposure. Connecting the VAWT to a power grid provides the option of selling power back to the utility company. Rebates are also offered in some countries / states. With the changes in the economy, the rising costs of fuel oil, and the rising prices of energy in general, there is an increasing demand for home generated power, be it from solar-electric, solar thermal heating, or wind generated power. Of those three options, wind generated power is by far and away the most mature option, with the best odds for getting a reasonable payback for a typical home with sufficient wind.


4.

For wind power generators, there are two general types to consider:

Horizontal Blade Generators

Vertical Axis Wind Generators


5.

Horizontal blade generators

Horizontal generators are the type most people associate with a windmill or wind generator as they have blades that rotate perpendicular to the ground, with the axis of rotation being horizontal. While they have some advantages in efficiency they have disadvantages as well. Horizontal generators work best when they are put on a tall tower and can catch the upper contrail winds. Some of the disadvantages are that they are more mechanically complex. On top of this, they are also a hazard to birds, and can be quite noisy. When attempting to connect a horizontal generator to someone's home for net metered power generation, they can also run afoul of local zoning ordinances and home owners associations as well as making it difficult to receive approval for a 35 tall wind turbine. Couple this with dead birds, loud noises, and people afraid that they will blow over in a storm, and there are a lot of barriers to installation.


6.

The best choice for a typical homeowner is a:

Vertical Wind Axis Generator

The Vertical Wind Generator rotates on a vertical axis.

There are drawbacks

one being that they are somewhat less efficient as the more traditional wind turbine


7.

Installation:

Vertical wind generators have the advantage of being suitable for a ground level installation. They can be installed in the middle of the back yard, or on top of the roof of your garage. They are much quieter in general than horizontal generators, and because they operate at a lower altitude, they are less likely to kill birds. They also do not need a yaw element (the 'tail' of a conventional turbine blade) to steer them into the wind direction, as they can generate energy from any wind direction the breeze is blowing in from. Vertical wind generators are also (generally) more aesthetic. They are less likely to be noticed as being an odd addition than the 36' tall tower of a horizontal generator would be.


8.

Vertical wind generators

By contacting your local utility company may offer credits and nearly 90% of the utility companies in the United States offer some form of net metering, where excess electricity you produce from your vertical wind generator is sold back to them and credited against consumers bill.


9.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Advantages:

Lower construction costs because there is no need to build a massive tower structure as compared to other wind turbine systems.

Reduced costs as rotor blades are vertical, eliminating "yaw" drives.

Easier to maintain as moving parts are located nearer to the ground.

Improved aerodynamics as VAWTs have a higher airfoil pitch angle, while decreasing drag at low and high pressures.

Up to 50% more energy than other wind turbine systems.

Newer systems are made with rare-earth-alloy magnets which are 25 times stronger than ferrite magnets and also eliminate any need for grease or oil since no parts actually touch each other.


10.


Advantages:

Lower wind startup speeds than other wind turbine systems. Typically, they start creating electricity at 6 m.p.h.

Usually have a lower "Tip-Speed" ratio so less likely to break in high winds.

Low height is useful where laws do not permit high structures.

Mesas, hilltops, ridgelines and passes can have faster winds near the ground because the wind is forced up a slope or funneled into a pass and into the path of VAWTs situated closer to the ground.


11.


Advantages :

Does not need to turn to face the wind due to wind direction changes making them ideal in turbulent wind conditions.

Vertical Axis wind Turbine blades are easily seen by birds.

Wind generators can operate 24 hours a day.

STATE REBATES

California

California now has the highest electricity rates of any State in the country. But, you can use the power in the wind to radically cut your electric bill and within a few years enjoy essentially free electricity. The best part is the State will pay for almost half of it! The State of California provides a cash rebate for qualified purchases of small wind systems up to 30 kW. The CEC (Cal. Energy Commission) rebate for wind (effective January 1, 2006) is $2.50 per watt for the first 7,500 watts and then $1.50 per watt for additional wattage up to the limit of 30 kW.


23.

STATE REBATES

California

With the new California incentives, the payback may be in as little as 6-7 years! And in many situations the monthly saving will completely offset the monthly loan payment! Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home. A small wind system will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 2% from a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years. Modest wind resources are fine for small wind systems. Wind resources are sufficient in many parts of California. In some places they are excellent.


24.

STATE REBATES

California

New! The California legislature has passed new regulations that should dramatically streamline the permitting of small wind turbine installations throughout rural California. The new regulations (passed under AB 1207) require wind turbine friendly zoning ordinances, providing relief from 35 ft. height restrictions and other historical barriers to permitting small wind turbines on lots on 1 acre and larger. CEC rebates are reserved on a first come, first served basis. Reservations, which are free and non-binding, last up to 6 months. The reservation application requires an equipment quotation from an approved vendor and a copy of your utility bill (or an explanation of why one isn't available yet).


25.

STATE REBATES New Jersey

Electricity rates in New Jersey are going up. Artificial caps on electrical rates will be removed in September 2003. Rates are expected to rise over 10% and maybe higher, and to skyrocket in the years ahead. But, you can protect yourself from future rate increases by producing your own electricity with a wind turbine system.

The best part is the State will pay for over half of it! The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), under its' Clean Energy Program, provides a 60% cash rebate for qualified purchases of small wind systems. This is one of the best incentive programs in the country.


26.


With the New Jersey BPU incentives, the payback may be in as little as 6-8 years! But, remember, you will be paying the money anyway - to the utility company. Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home. So, rather than calling it a "pay back period", it would be more accurate to call it a "payment transfer period". At the end you have free electricity

A small wind system will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 2% form a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years.


27.


A small wind system really helps the environment! Over its minimum 30 year operating life, a residential wind system in New Jersey will save 430,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 3,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 1,000 pounds of nitrogen dioxide that would have been produced by the utility's fossil fuel power plants. It is the equivalent of planting 2 acres of trees or taking 1.25 vehicles off the road.

Modest wind resources are fine for small wind systems. Wind resources are sufficient in many parts of New Jersey. In some places they are excellent. The highest resource areas are found along the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay coastal areas, and on the ridges of western and northwestern New Jersey.


28.

STATE REBATES NEW YORK

New York electricity costs are well above the national average and they are expected to keep going up in the future. But you can insulate your family or business from surging electric rates by installing your own wind power generator.

T he best part is the State will pay for at least half of it!

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), now provides rebates of 50 - 70% for qualified purchases of small wind systems. This is one of the best clean energy incentive programs in the country. The rebates are 50% for homes and institutions, 60% for farms, and 70% for schools incorporating wind energy in their curriculum.

The NYSERDA rebates are only available through NYSERDA Eligible Installers. NYSERDA also has a Provisional Eligible Installers designation with some limitations.


29.


With the NYSERDA incentives, the payback may be in as little as 6 -9 years! But, remember, you will be paying the money anyway - to the utility company. Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home. So, rather than calling it a pay back period, it would be more accurate to call it a payment transfer period. At the end you have free electricity.

A small wind system will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 4% from a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years.


30.


A small wind system really helps the environment! Over its minimum 30 year operating life, a residential/farm wind system in New York will save approximately 430,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 3,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 1,000 pounds of nitrogen dioxide that would have been produced by the utility's fossil fuel power plants. It is the equivalent of planting 2 acres of trees or taking 1.25 vehicles off the road.

Modest wind resources are fine for small wind systems. Wind resources are sufficient in most parts of New York. In some places they are excellent.


31.

STATE REBATES ILLINOIS

Illinois electricity costs are going up much faster than the national average. But, you can insulate your family or business from surging electric rates by installing your own wind power generator.

The best part is the State could pay for up to half of it!

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), is now soliciting grant applications for up to 50% of the cost of installing a small wind system. This is one of the best clean energy incentive programs in the country. The grants are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and grant applications are due April 30, 2007.


32.


With a DCEO grant, the payback may be in as little as 7 -10 years! But, remember, you will be paying the money anyway - to the utility company. Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home. So, rather than calling it a pay back period, it would be more accurate to call it a payment transfer period. At the end you have free electricity.

A small wind system will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 4% from a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years.


33.


A small wind system really helps the environment! Over its minimum 30 year operating life, a Bergey residential/farm wind system in Illinois will save approximately 430,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 3,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 1,000 pounds of nitrogen dioxide that would have been produced by the utility's fossil fuel power plants. It is the equivalent of planting 2 acres of trees or taking 1.25 vehicles off the road.

Modest wind resources are fine for small wind systems. Wind resources are sufficient in most parts of Illinois. In some places they are excellent. See the map connection below to determine your wind resource.
