	Micro-Wind Turbines in Urban Environments
	Order Code: BR083EP ISBN Number: 9781848060210 Publisher: BRE Press No. of Pages: 48 Date of Publication: 2007 Price: £30.00
This study shows that, in addition to the initial embodied carbon and efficiency of the turbine, the payback period is highly sensitive to local wind conditions, transport costs, and the maintenance requirements and service life of the turbine. This work confirms the need for a more rigorous method for estimating the electricity generated from building-mounted micro-wind turbines and for research and innovation in technology, planning and urban design to maximise the effectiveness of the turbine installations. Features / Benefits Provides a rigorous analysis of all the factors that influence the power that small wind turbines can generate in urban areas Studies the whole life costs and carbon emission costs of micro-wind turbines Case studies for three locations - Manchester, Wick and Portsmouth
