Relationship between wind speed and wind power.
Wind speeds increase with height.
Make sure to check local bylaws about height restrictions for wind turbine towers.
Use a tower approved by the wind turbine manufacturer otherwise the warranty on the
turbine may become invalid. Also ensure the tower is connected to an underground
metal object to ground the tower in case of a lightning strike.
You need a disconnect switch that can electrically isolate the wind turbine from the
rest of the wind energy system. An automatic disconnect switch is necessary to
prevent damage to the rest of the system in case of an electrical malfunction or a
lightning strike. It also allows maintenance and system modifications to be safely
made to the turbine. There are other system components you may choose or need to
purchase. You may need batteries to store excess energy generated by the wind
