How Wind Works - Some of the most abundant grind <br /> resources are located along the eastern seaboard. <br /> References were made to a Town level map. <br /> Types of Wired Turbines - Anything under to kW i <br /> considered small (homes., farms, remote applications) , <br /> 10-250 kW is considered medium (village power, hybrid <br /> systems, distributed power) , 250. W is considered to be <br /> large (central station wind fauns, distributed power) . The <br /> Torn of Hull has a 660 kW machine at the High School, as <br /> well as a 1 . 8 MW scale machine at the landfill . IB W is -a <br /> 100 kW machine. <br /> There was some discussion regarding monopole type wind <br /> towers as well as lattice free standing and guide type <br /> towers suitable for residential lots . Required permitting <br /> was also discussed including engineered stamped plans for a <br /> machine .suffiier-t to withstand category three hurricane <br /> winds . sound and maintenance ,issues also have to be taken <br /> into consideration. <br /> When asked by the chairman, Ms . Amster stated :she does <br /> not advocate for proposed units being attached to a <br /> structure/roof -mount. she spoke to potential dangers and <br /> damages caused a-s ar result of this type of mount . <br /> Ms . Amster urged Board Members to visit the <br /> installation at the Upper cafe Tech 10-] W tilt-up machine <br /> constructed on an -ft . custom tower. <br /> There was some discussion regarding cost and rebate <br /> factors in connection with the carious facilities based <br /> upon Massachusetts Technology Collaborative matrix. <br /> solar equipment has a -year guarantee, as well as a <br /> rate of power production guarantee. <br /> Ms . Amsler stressed the importance that interested <br /> parties research and understand the capacities of the <br /> equipment being considered and to demand proven data in <br /> this regard (obtained in conditions outside of a wind <br /> tunnel) . Being properly maintained, a quality wind turbine <br /> constructed on a sufficient- tower has a life expectancy of <br /> -years . <br /> 4 <br />
