Wind Turbines |
|
Wind turbines are probably the best known of all the renewable energy technologies
in Northern Ireland. There are now in excess of 100 small-scale wind turbines installed
in Northern Ireland. This uptake is due to the fact that Northern Ireland has the
second best wind resource in Europe; second only to Scotland. |
|
With such a resource and as wind energy is a proven technology, wind is capable
of making a significant contribution to the Northern Ireland renewable energy scene. |
|
Wind speed and direction will determine the most suitable position for a wind turbine.
Wind speed increases with height, so turbines will give a greater output if placed
at a higher level. Turbines are best placed away from buildings and trees. |
|
Contact an registered installer to arrange a site survey in order to assess the
suitability of a given location. It is recommended that you contact more than one
installer. |
