Selecting a Tower Size...
Selecting an appropriate tower size
can make a significant difference in energy production. In general, towers
should be installed at such a height that the turbine's blade tips (in their
lowest position) are
30 feet above
all objects
(buildings, trees, silos, hills, etc.)
within a 500 foot radius.
This will minimize turbulence encountered by the turbine, aiding the wind
generator to run more smoothly, minimizing the stress on its components, and
increasing the generator's life. Another
very important consideration regarding tower height:
The
higher
the tower, the faster the wind speed!
When considering tower heights, therefore:
Bigger
(taller) is definitely better!
A taller tower is the best way to increase your wind generator's performance
at a given site.
