Today, people are realizing that wind power is one of the most promising new energy sources that can serve as an alternative to fossil fuel - generated electricity.

As of 1999, global wind energy capacity topped 10,000 megawatts, which is approximately 16 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. That is enough to serve over 5 cities. Five cities may not seem significant, but if we make the predicted strides in the near future, wind power could be one of our main sources of electricity.

With today's technology, wind energy could provide 20% of a country's electricity (or about the amount nuclear power provides) with turbines installed on less than 1% of its land area, and within that area, less than 5% of the land would be occupied by wind equipment. The remaining 95% could continue to be used for farming or ranching.

By the year 2010, 10 million average homes may be supplied by wind power, preventing 100 million metric tons of CO2 emissions every year.

Lessening our dependence on fossil fuels is critical to the health of all living things, and wind energy can do just that.

Considering this, we have come out with various capacities of wind turbines.

The specifications for a typical wind turbine is as follows :

- Power : 10kw.
- Rotor height : 6m.
- Rotor diameter : 8m.
- Rated speed (r/min) : 300.
- Rated wind speed : 12(m/s).
- Rated power : 10kw.
- Max power : 15kw.
- Output voltage : DC 110v.
- Starting speed : 3(m/s).
- Cut-in speed : 4(m/s).
- Work speed : 4-25(m/s).
- Safe speed : 50(m/s).
- Suggested tower height : 12 m.
- Weight : 600kg.
- Over speed protection : Brake.
- Output controller : Controller and inverter.
- Suggested battery capacity (12v100ah) : 30.
