Sustainable Energy Solutions for Facility Managers with Behind-the-Meter Wind Projects

Commercial applications of single or a few wind turbines with rated power capacity in the range of 50KW to 2,500KW are the focus of this blog. Such turbines can be cost effective for a wide range of applications: Factories; warehouses; office parks; housing communities; schools/colleges; hospitals; municipal facilities like jails; water treatment facilities; and others. These projects are referred to as "Behind the Meter" projects.

A white paper is available that briefly describes: How such projects can fit into your energy mix; how much energy can be produced; how is variability of wind energy managed; what are the incentives; what is the cost of wind energy; what is the ideal location of a wind project; and what to avoid.

It concludes that such projects can deliver electricity at stable costs (because raw material is free) and under the right wind conditions such projects may deliver electricity at a cost that is below retail.

  1. Great Post! So interesting! However Ncon turbine is best in offering wide range of thermal steam turbines in India and provides service across the globe. So I recommend you just giving one try.
