Suitable for all offshore conditions, Alstom’s offshore 6 MW direct drive wind turbine combines proven technology and innovation. Building on the unique ALSTOM PURE TORQUE™ technology, it provides the high yield and uncompromising reliability that will lower the cost of offshore energy. The prototype phase for the turbine has started and will run through 2011 and 2012, followed by a pre-series in 2013 and series production in 2014. www.alstom.com

The majority of alternative power sources hooked up yearly are solar, though wind turbines are an option that are cost effective.

Wind generators are a less costly and more productive alternative to conventional electricity sources, and noncommercial wind generator technology is always being enhanced.

These newer wind generators for home use are easier to install and more effective than their predecessors, and can provide a considerable amount of power to your home with simply the wind.

One of the problems with previous versions of wind generators for home use is that they were really just more compact versions of their commercial cousins. These larger commercial wind turbines were used in remote areas where a robust and steady wind could spin their massive blades.

The smaller cousins of the large industrial wind generators that were intended for personal use were simply incapable of efficiently using the smaller amounts of wind passing through residential areas.

Due to this fact, earlier domestic wind turbines were not terribly useful for homeowners who did not have big, open property with robust wind flow

For any hope of catching the breeze, small property owners would need to raise the wind turbines above the level of the roof.

This required the use of a large and costly tower that put the initial investment in this type of alternative power solution out of the reach of many consumers.

Raising the new wind turbines is unnecessary as they are made to use the low wind velocities found in small-property neighborhoods.

Since the wind generators of today are functional in low velocity winds the expenditure of purchasing them is less without the expensive structures. Another convenience of the current version of wind generators is that they are tiny enough to be installed onto the roof, making them easy to service.

Built to be as compact and effective as possible, new wind turbines are far more useful than previous units. They have been built to be able to use the slightest breeze and because of this they are rotating for more of the day than older models.

New wind generators can create more electricity per month that the older turbines could since the new models can produce more power every time they revolve.

In terms of alternative power sources, these factors make wind generators a worthy alternative to solar power.

The increasing attractiveness of wind turbines is also due in part to the fact that there are incentive programs available to help decrease the price of converting to wind power.

Alternative power sources, including wind generators, can be purchased using grants and rebates from government opportunities.

Incentives from these options and others like them can greatly reduce the price of buying and setting up an alternative power source. Other rewards of putting in an alternative electricity source in your home include federal tax incentives that can be available to you.
