  2. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

    A 1 kW micro windmill installed in the suburbs of Lahore, Pakistan. Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to ...

  6. History of wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wind_power

    With the development of electric power, wind power found new applications in lighting buildings remote from centrally generated power. Throughout the 20th century, parallel paths developed small wind plants suitable for farms or residences and larger utility-scale wind generators that could be connected to electricity grids for remote use of power.

    The first wind turbine. William Kamkwamba (born August 5, 1987, in Kasungu, Malawi), is a Malawian inventor, engineer, and author. He gained renown in his country in 2001 when he built a wind turbine to power multiple electrical appliances in his family's house in Wimbe, 23 kilometres (14 mi) east of Kasungu, using blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard.

  9. 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 ...
