, 2011 Small wind turbines are an attractive alternative for off-grid electrification and water pumping, both as stand-alone applications and in combination with other energy technologies such as photovoltaic, small hydro or Diesel engines. Under these conditions, the cost of energy alone is often not the only criterion to consider, and aspects like system ...
