Compared with utility-scale wind systems, small wind enjoys many economic and social advantages including reducing costs of building transmission lines, helping the public reduce peak power demand, diversifying the energy supply portfolio, and increasing regional economic growth. This Master’s Project is designed to evaluate the costs and benefits of small wind systems in North… CONTINUE READING
