Southwest Windpower is launching Skystream 3.7 wind turbine next month that comes with features like economic power-generation, an ease of installation and portability. This is the right concept for energy conservation that saves an average of $500 to $800 expenditure on electricity. Jim Green (senior project manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s National Wind Technology Center in Golden, Colo) said: I think Skystream has a chance to break the 10 cent per kilowatt hour at the best sites. Comparable technologies that generate electricity from the wind or even the sun cost between 15 to 35 cents per kilowatt-hour. Usual Wind turbines need stabilizing wires to help it stand tall. In addition, it requests three electrical boxes to convert the produced energy into useable electricity. Whereas, Skystream needs no stabilizing wires. Built in electrical conversion machine measuring 35 feet long turbine requires to stand 20 feet higher than the tallest thing within a 500-foot radius. During zero production period users get automatically switched to household connection. Price band $10,000 to $12,000. Via: dsc.discovery
