New York Wind Energy Guidebook for Local Governments
Wind energy, both land-based and offshore, is instrumental for New York State to reach its clean energy goals of 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% clean electricity by 2040.
There are three main types of wind energy systems. These are:- off-grid. In this article, we'll examine each system and discuss the pros and cons of each. We'll also examine hybrid systems, consisting of a wind turbine plus another form of renewable energy. This information will help you decide which system suits your needs and lifestyle.
There are two basic types of wind turbines: The size of wind turbines varies widely. The length of the blades is the biggest factor in determining the amount of electricity a wind turbine can generate. Small wind turbines that can power a single home may have an electric-generating capacity of 10 kilowatts (kW).
There are more than 58,185 land-based wind turbines operating across 43 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico representing more than 90 gigawatts of energy capacity. The US offshore wind industry is seeing momentum as well and currently contains more than 25,000 megawatts of potential capacity across 13 states. There are three major types of wind energy.
The technical specifications for wind turbines in the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) are obtained directly from project developers and turbine manufacturers, or they are based on data obtained from public sources. In 2016, USGS, LBNL, and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA, the predecessor of ACP) began collaborating on the development of the USWTDB.
