Small-scale wind turbines: An appraisal [PDF]
2013 48th International Universities' Power Engineering Conference (UPEC), 2013 This research seeks to evaluate the economic benefits to be gained by installing a small-scale wind turbine for a customer with a three-phase electrical supply requirement. The evidence for the claims made in this paper is obtained by using actual data obtained from the installed equipment over a three year period.

A Model-Agnostic Meta-Baseline Method for Few-Shot Fault Diagnosis of Wind Turbines
Sensors, 2022 The technology of fault diagnosis is helpful to improve the reliability of wind turbines, and further reduce the operation and maintenance cost at wind farms. However, in reality, wind turbines are not allowed to operate with faults, so few fault samples

Siting small wind turbines [PDF]
, 1979 A recent survey has indicated that improper siting has been a common cause of dissatisfaction among users of small wind turbines. That is, the user has not received the power output or machine life he expected. Most potential purchasers will need to be reasonably certain of the cost of wind power for their particular application before they decide to ...
