   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gorgonio_Pass_Wind_Farm

   San Gorgonio Pass wind farm. /  33.900°N 116.583°W  / 33.900; -116.583. The San Gorgonio Pass wind farm is a wind farm that stretches from the eastern slope of the San Gorgonio Pass, near Cabazon, to North Palm Springs, on the western end of the Coachella Valley, in Riverside County, California. Flanked by Mount San Gorgonio and the ...

3. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

   The solar updraft tower ( SUT) is a design concept for a renewable-energy power plant for generating electricity from low temperature solar heat. Sunshine heats the air beneath a very wide greenhouse-like roofed collector structure surrounding the central base of a very tall chimney tower. The resulting convection causes a hot air updraft in ...

4. Distributed generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation

   Distributed generation from wind hybrid power systems combines wind power with other DER systems. One such example is the integration of wind turbines into solar hybrid power systems, as wind tends to complement solar because the peak operating times for each system occur at different times of the day and year.

5. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   a charge controller for charging the batteries or other energy storage. For converting DC battery power into AC as required for many appliances, or for feeding excess power into a commercial power grid: an inverter or grid-interactive inverter. The whole is also sometimes referred to as "power conditioning equipment".

6. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

   Hybrid power system. Hybrid systems, as the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security through the mix of generation methods, and often will incorporate a storage system ...

7. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   A forerunner of modern horizontal-axis wind generators was in service at Yalta, USSR, in 1931. This was a 100 kW generator on a 30-meter (98 ft) tower, connected to the local 6.3 kV distribution system. It was reported to have an annual capacity factor of 32 percent, not much different from current wind machines. [citation needed]
