New USDA/DOE Initiative to Help Farmers Access Wind Energy

In 2023 USDA Rural Development in Maine awarded a REAP Technical Assistance Grant (REAP TAG) of $152K to Pecos Wind Power Inc. The company designs, builds, and sells wind turbines for distributed generation. Increasing the use of wind-generated power was one priority for the 2023 REAP TAG program, and the company was a successful applicant.

WINDExchange: Distributed Wind Energy Resource

Distributed wind turbines can be connected to an electricity delivery system or used in off-grid applications to serve on-site energy demand or local loads on the same distribution network. Wind turbines used as distributed energy resources can range in size from a few hundred watts for an isolated minigrid, to kilowatts for a single residence ...

How Do Wind Turbines Work? | Department of Energy

A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases. The difference in air pressure across the two sides of the blade creates both lift and drag.

Frequently Asked Questions on Small Distributed Wind Systems

Distributed wind systems are used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to self-generate power for offsetting all or a portion of onsite demand. Small wind turbine technology (<100 kilowatts) is the size most commonly used at homes and smaller farms and at commercial and industrial facilities.

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.
