RESOURCES

1. Asses the desired site(s) for suitability. To determine average wind speeds for a location, a monitoring tower with a wind speed monitor, called an anemometer, can be used to measure wind speeds and directions.

2. Determine the function of the generator and the goals of the installation. How is the generated power used: is it purely functional (for example, lighting), or can it power a form of kinetic art?

3. Research options for type and size of installation.4. Consider an educational component to teach passers-by about

alternative energy.

• A French company installed tree-shaped wind turbines on the streets of Paris in March, 2015. Each 36-foot-high “Wind Tree” includes 72 leaf-shaped turbines that generate power in a breeze as faint as 4.4 mph.

• A Low-Impact Transit Station in Austin, Texas incorporates a near-silent wind turbine on top of a 60-foot-tall tower. The station also incorporates solar generation and rainwater capture

WIND GENERATION

An electric generator that converts energy from the wind into electrical power, often through small-scale “microgeneration” for on-site use.
