<strong>Wind</strong> Power<br />
• <strong>Wind</strong> energy conversion systems convert<br />
the kinetic energy of a renewable resource<br />
-wind- to mechanical energy.<br />
• <strong>Wind</strong>mills have been used for centuries to<br />
pump water and grind grain, and more<br />
recently to generate electricity.<br />
• Small systems (from a fraction of a W, to<br />
several kW <strong>power</strong> rating) are frequently<br />
used as part of remote area <strong>power</strong> supplies,<br />
and larger systems (50 - 2MW) have been<br />
integrated with the main <strong>power</strong> grid in<br />
several countries inlcluding the US and<br />
most abundantly, in Australia.<br />
