Small Scale Wind Turbines http://www.energy-debate.com/small-scale-wind-turbines/ http://www.energy-debate.com/small-scale-wind-turbines/#comments Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:20:27 +0000 admin http://www.energy-debate.com/?p=806 TurbyGestor Energetico and The Energy Debate Team have an agreement in place with Turby Iberica to offer our clients the latest technology in Small Scale Wind Turbines.

We work with a vertical Aero generator system called Turby Mk1a. This product is ideal for all homes, apartment blocks, hotels or buildings that wish to generate up to 5 Kilowatts of electricity.

One of the many unique features of this product is the possibility to combine energy from various sources, routing energy bi-directional when and where it is needed, i.e. to battery storage, grid, generator or consuming devices. With the Power Router that comes with the system you have the freedom to integrate your power channels with other Renewable sources such as Solar

How does it Work?
Gestor Energetico and The Energy Debate Team can work with you as part of our Home or Commercial Energy Audit to see where is the best place to install your Turby Mk1a System. There are many factors to be taken into consideration such as certain wind measurements so we can calculate your Return on Investment and be able to inform you of how long it will take before the system pays for itself.

Wind BehaviourAnother important fact to take into account is that from 2010 Micro Generated electricity owners will have the option to sell the energy produced directly back to the grid itself at a highly remunerated rate.

As not areas have the same wind patterns our team will see where the best place to erect your system will be.

High points on the top of buildings are ideal as air currents “travel” up the side of the building and their currents can be easily captured by the Turby Mk1a Vertical Turbine System.

Through our technology we will help you find the exact point to install the system.

Wind CurrentPlease see our information from our PowerRouter System to see how you can integrate the energy received from your Turby Mk1a System with other Renewable Energy such as Solar or even how to store energy for later use for when for example the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining.Also see our gallery of installed Turby Mk1a Systems which are now generating energy for their owners.

Whether  you wish to make your building more energy efficient or whether you want your home, hotel or commercial building to have a greener image this system is right for you At very competitive prices and a very flexible extension plans you will find the Turby Mk1a the perfect system.

This inexpensive tool consists of one of our experts coming to your home to see what measures are available to you if you wish to improve the energy efficiency of your home or if you wish to start to live a more environmentally friendly life-style.
The good news is that most changes our experts will recommend you will save you money in the mid to long term and often much faster than you think.
We will explore what energy sources you are using now, what type of lighting you use and look at your energy “habits” such as keeping appliances switched on unnecessarily. From the start we will look at ways of saving you money.

Return on Investment
Once we have assessed your building with a 36o degree check-up we will look at all the possibilities available to you depending on your property. Any recommendation that we make will be backed up with a Return on Investment plan. Many Solar, Geo or light switching solutions pay for themselves very quickly and often add value to your home, especially as it is known that more and more future home-buyers are looking for green and sustainable credentials in their buildings.
We are also aware of any funding, financing deals or governmental incentives available on the market and will be delighted to explain all the options to you.

Offshore Wind-Why the sea? http://www.energy-debate.com/offshore-wind-why-the-sea/ http://www.energy-debate.com/offshore-wind-why-the-sea/#comments Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:19:59 +0000 admin http://www.energy-debate.com/?p=748 new wind twoThe offshore wind or offshore Turbines practically use the same system of wind turbines that are located on land but out at sea. This practice of placing wind turbines offshore has its complications.

Why in the sea?
First of all, many countries have already declared their intentions to lower their CO2 emissions and many have seen the land system as a solution but there are some drawbacks. First of all, in many countries, including Spain formalities can take a very long time (up to five years) and developers need to have all the national or local permits to be able to install the wind towers. Also, in many cases there are groups that go against any planning for Wind Farms as they consider them to be ugly, they break the beauty of nature, make too much noise or are a danger to local wildlife such as if placed in the path of migratory birds.

So one solution is to put these wind towers out of sight, and where better than at sea. The technology is advancing rapidly to meet the challenges they bring. The most important so far are:

1.So they are not as visible from the shore engineers want to locate them as far as possible from the coast but this represents an increased cost because they must bring the generated electricity to the mainland and this mean more pipes or connections and increased costs.

2. At sea the force of waves and currents are much stronger and they need to ensure that they are well anchored to the seabed to avoid collapsing in bad weather.
Studies are now under way to minimize these risks and presently in Norway and Offshore Wind Turbines are being installed with a floating base, this practice eliminates the need to set the tower in the seabed, instead the base of the floating tower is tied with some flexible cords that keep the movement to the minimum.

Blade Development is moving fast and the rotors are becoming larger allowing the turbines and offshore wind facilities to produce more electricity. There are many countries that have invested or approved large offshore wind projects. Britain is one of the countries that currently lag behind in its use of renewable energy has already two big projects approved.

Germany and the Nordic countries are already underway with marine parks.
Offshore wind will be an important part of the mix needed to generate electricity from renewable energy sources and changing the use of fossil fuels which emit polluting gases like CO2.

With the great diversity of natural resources and climate that Europe offers, sustainable solutions such as tapping  the sun´s energy in southern Europe and north Africa, wind turbines on land and off shore installations, geothermal energy from countries such as Iceland and  the widespread use of other sources such as biomass and tidal energy would create an ideal, balanced Renewable Energy Mix.
