Since I\u2019ve talked about wind turbines large and small over the past year, I thought it was about time I put out a wind power generators guide for those who want to know the top resources in this area.<\/p>\nSince I\u2019ve talked about wind turbines large and small over the past year, I thought it was about time I put out a wind power generators guide for those who want to know the top resources in this area.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve selected four categories within the wind power generators industry to profile including Large Scale, Large Residential, Residential Rooftop and DIY Wind Generator Plans. Here\u2019s my top list of wind power generators large and small.<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Large Scale Wind Power Generators<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n General Electric<\/strong> is one of the biggest builders and suppliers of wind power generators in the world with over 8,400 installation worldwide and counting. GE has assembly plants in the U. S., Canada, Germany, Spain and China. And, of course, GE has large contracts with T. Boone Pickens so this is nothing to sneeze at as well.<\/p>\n Vestas<\/a> is a Copenhagen-based wind power generator company that has over 35,000 wind turbines installed worldwide. The next time you\u2019re in the area why not take your Vespa electric scooter out for a tour of the Vestas wind farm?<\/p>\n Siemens is another of the large players in the wind power generation marketplace with turbines ranging from 1.3 MW to 3.6 MW in size. Siemens builds both large, utility scale on-shore and off-shore wind power generators.<\/p>\n Gamesa is Spain\u2019s largest wind power supplier that also has cornered up to 15-percent of the global marketplace as well. Gamesa claims 21,000 MW of power distributed to 13 countries in North America, Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n Suzlon<\/a> currently has around 10.5-percent of the world\u2019s market in wind power generators and is the fifth leading wind turbine supplier in the world. Currently, Suzlon is developing the largest wind farm in Asia in Dhule, Maharshtra.<\/p>\n Large Residential Wind Power Generators<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Helix<\/strong> turbine is a large, elegant, non-rotor wind power generator that delivers torque along its vertical axis. The Helix was developed for a large range of wind speeds in mind and for use in urban settings.<\/p>\n Bergey WindPower<\/a> offers large residential wind turbines for farm, small businesses and home use. Most of their wind power generators are in the 10 kw range.<\/p>\n Entegrity Wind Systems offers 50 kw wind power generators for farms, large home, schools, small businesses and industrial waste facilities. Some of their larger systems can also be used for villages and small towns.<\/p>\n Residential Rooftop Wind Power Generators<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Air X residential wind turbine<\/strong><\/a> can deliver up to 400 watts of power to provide supplementary electricity to one\u2019s home or home office. At less than $600, one of these small residential rooftop wind power generators can run one\u2019s electronic and appliances.<\/p>\n Swift Wind Turbine has a line of small rooftop wind power generators that sit just 2 feet off the roof and can supply supplemental power for one\u2019s home.<\/p>\n DIY Wind Power Generator Plans<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Homemade Power Plant<\/strong><\/a> is a set of do-it-yourself plans that shows you step-by-step how to create a home wind power generator to save money and promote a healthy environment. The plans are easy, laid out in a straight forward fashion and parts can be purchased from a home supply store.<\/p>\n
