1 CATALOGUE OF SMALL WIND TURBINES 2010 NORDIC FOLKECENTER FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY KATIE CHRISTENSEN

2 I - Catalogue of Small Wind Turbines Foreword For decades small wind turbines have been used all over the world in various stand alone applications where large scale installations are not practical. Wind energy has been adapted to many uses including water pumping and rural electrification, providing safe and reliable electricity to households, schools, hospitals and other necessary institutions. Small scale installations are becoming more affordable to families thereby allowing access to modern energy services and freeing people all over the world from dependency on fossil fuels and other traditional forms of energy used directly or indirectly to fuel electrical grids, this is freedom from the associated monetary costs but also the environmental impacts both local and global. This 2010 catalogue contains information from 106 manufacturers. These are just the companies we know of and that were willing to contribute information about their turbines (under 50 kw) that are available on the open market. There are many more. The American Wind Energy Association estimates that at least 219 companies worldwide are in development stages or already manufacture turbines smaller than 100 kw. This sector of the wind industry is growing and only recently has the practicality and importance of small scale installations been appreciated. This past March saw the first ever World Summit on Small Wind Turbines, organized by the World Wind Energy Association and hosted at the New Energy Husum trade fair in Germany. Leading experts from 11 nations discussed the implementation of small scale installations in each of those countries with a focus on stand alone use and the benefits of small autonomous power systems. More than in any other country wind energy has exploded in China. According to the 2009 World Wind Energy Report China continued its role as the locomotive of the international wind industry and added MW within one year, more than doubling the installations for the fourth year in a row. These figures are for large scale turbines, but small scale turbines are also in wide use, from villages all over the country to nomadic communities in the far north to thousands of permanently occupied houseboats in fishing communities on the many large lakes of China. According to the Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA) there are around 80 manufacturers of small scale wind turbines in China, the majority of these machines are sold within the domestic market, enabling people to produce electricity in rural areas where the local grid is often inaccessible, 75% of these installations are located in the rangelands of Inner Mongolia. As of 2009 this amounts to over Chinese manufactured units installed in rural areas of the country, providing electricity to about 1.5 million people. Between the years of 2005 and 2009 more than units have been exported to other countries. Mass production of these machines is driving down manufacturing costs, enabling more accessibility to small scale renewable equipment. Communities all over the globe are now adopting policies such as feed in tariffs to support the use of environmentally friendly energy production. Co-operation and sharing of this knowledge is vital to the growth of this industry. The Chinese Wind Energy Association has assisted in the making of this publication, and it is our pleasure to work together to promote the use of small scale wind energy, in China, Denmark and all over the world. It is our hope that with future editions other wind energy associations, organizations and manufacturers working with small scale wind energy will help to contribute reliable information about this growing and much dispersed industry.
