Small wind can make big impact

摘要

The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) has welcomed the publication of the Energy Saving Trust's (EST) report on the domestic small-scale wind field trial. The report on the first-ever comprehensive monitoring programme of domestic small scale wind turbines in the UK, had as its main aim 'to determine how the technology performs when installed in ordinary people's homes'. The monitoring programme started in 2007 and specifically covered 57 sites across the UK, with the results overwhelmingly indicating that small wind systems could become a major UK renewable energy technology, generating around 3,459GWh, or around the same as UK hydro plants.
