About Alternative Power Generators
Alternative power generators produce electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind, flowing water, solar energy and biomass. They are used for residential power, portable power, lighting, and communications applications. Alternative power generators use green energy from renewable sources. They cause less environmental degradation and pollution than products that use fossil fuels such as coal, diesel, and gasoline. Alternative power generators are used with solar power panels, solar water pumps, and complete solar power systems. They are also used with wind turbines, micro hydro generators, and complete wind power systems. Biomass includes wood and wood waste, fast-growing trees and plants, and agricultural crops and wastes. Alternative power generators that use other sources of green energy are also available.
Wind power systems convert the kinetic energy from wind into mechanical energy. When used with a wind power generator, the rotation of the wind turbine’s blades turns a shaft to produce electricity. Specifications for wind power generators include blade material, rotor diameter, unit weight, start-up wind speed, voltage, wattage, and mounting style. Wind generator blades are often made of carbon-reinforced thermoplastic, injection-molded polycarbonate, or fiberglass. Rotor diameter is measured in inches (in) or meters (m). Weight is specified in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg). Product specifications for wind power generators include rated output, rated wind speed, rated rotation, cut-in speed, percent rated output, airfoil type, lateral type, and governor speed. Some wind-based alternative power generators are designed for rooftop mounting. Others require a tower and can be used in conjunction with photovoltaic modules (PV).
