ALL ABOUT WIND TURBINE NEW GENERATION
Although Thailand’s installed wind power capacity is less than 500 kW, EDICON sees high potential for this energy source due to technological advances in turbine size and efficiency. Technology is now available for low wind areas, such as Thailand, with wind speeds of less than four-to-five meters per second.
Wind is a natural energy which is clean and inexhaustible on earth. Men have made used of this energy since time immemorial in facilitating their lives. The study and research on the utilization of wind power has continued until the present day.
DEVELOPERS
As the values of home buyers, holiday-makers and businesses shift towards sustainable energy, perhaps the integration of a wind energy solution would offer your development a competitive
advantage.
Are you looking for a sustainable energy solution which could dramatically add to the satisfaction of your potential clients?
Are you considering setting yourselves up as a mini-utility? In order to guarantee "lower-than-utility" energy, many developers are turning to Wind solutions to deliver the energy
requirements while aesthetically complementing the style of their development.
If your answer to any of these questions is yes and you would like to discover if being a Preferred Partner of Helix Wind would be the right choice for you, write to us your details and we
will help you make that decision.
- Does it enhance prestige of the development, which supports price realization?
- Does it offer differentiation from competition in the same area?
- Does it match their target demographics' buying criteria - would this be an "exciter"?
- Does it esthetically suit the developer's style of development?
- Can they install them cost effectively using on-site non-specialized building contractors?
Last, pls consider the tariff-in applied in Thailand and you will see immediately what we are talking about.
Potential Saving
When the word "solar" is mentioned, most folks assume it must relate to solar power - solar cells, heat-gathering equipment or the like. And windmills have something to do with wind - not the sun. But in reality, these two words have more in common than most people think.
Wind is actually created, in part, by solar (sun) activity, in addition to the rotation of the earth and surface terrain. As the sun heats the atmosphere, warm air rises and cooler air settles to lower altitudes, inducing winds. And, features like hills and mountains give added velocity and direction to these winds. Lakes and oceans also contribute something to the mix - moisture. Moisture can make the air more or less dense and have a cooling effect. The poles - the Arctic and Antarctica with their extreme temperature differentials can send great torrents of chilly wind daily. So, solar power what really can get the wind going.
Believe it or not, winds can actually affect the earth's rotation. Due to upper atmosphereic forces such as El Nino, the earth's rotation can slow ever so slightly, resulting in a longer day (by milliseconds). Also, the Polar Motion (the exact point at which the earth's poles point towards outer space) can be affected by these winds as well. There really is some awesome strength in the wind!
Sometimes solar windmills can imply that both solar power and windmill power are to be used together as complementary natural energy sources. Solar heat collectors and solar cells are both great technologies, when the sun is out. But what happens when night comes, or clouds appear? Chances are, there will still be some wind. And, when there is both sun and wind, excess power can be stored for future use - water tanks for solar collectors and batteries for both solar cells and windmills - or sold back to the utility company.
