How Wind Energy Works

Wind Power is the fastest growing source of energy in the world. Wind energy is an abundant and free renewable resource. We won't run out of wind for the foreseeable future, unlike oil and natural gas. Even though wind is a variable resource, it is not unreliable. Just like solar energy, you can count on a certain amount of wind at a given location during the year. With Dwight's smart planning and careful design, we can design a wind system to meet your electrical needs.

Wind Turbines are commonly described in terms of rated power, also known as rated output or rated capacity. Rated power is the instantaneous output of the turbine (measured in watts) at a certain wind speed (called the rated speed) at a standard temperature and altitude. The rated power of small wind turbine falls in the range of 1,000 to 100,000 watts. One thousand watts is one kilowatt (kw). It is important to note that wind turbines do not produce their rated power all of the time, only when they're running at their rated wind speed.

With the help of the staff at Dwight's we will design a system that will cater to your needs. Whether you are looking for a supplement on your electrical bill or getting rid of it, Raum's turbines will make it happen.
