The World's First Social Network For The Wind Turbine Community

Craig, Dan and Jimmy:
"We started this site to help promote the growth of wind turbines as an alternative energy source.

With its potential to lower energy costs, create thousands of new jobs, and offset our CO2 emissions, it is only a logical step to try to make sure we utilize as much of this free energy source as possible.

By linking together people from all walks of life that share a similar interest in this technology, we hope to create a better environment for all things related to wind power generation.

We look forward to a time when the majority of the worlds energy supply comes from wind turbines and similar technologies that does not deplete natural resources.

This is exciting news since currently the potential for harnessing wind energy is mostly untapped. We thank you for coming to our website, and look forward to you joining our community page, please be active on this virtual community and your local community in pursuing wind power and other clean, carbon neutral ways of living." ... more

The Inception
"The 10th March 1999 saw the first virtual wind energy trade fair, which went online with the name www.Windmesse.de. The portal was the work of its founders, Martin Tschierschke and Jörg Schwabenhausen. The start-up firm, "i-s-t Internet Communications", located in Hamburg, was the framework for building up a wind energy industry directory for the portal.

Companies were actively sought and their information added to the portal, and services for visitors via the Internet were created, for example the comprehensive collection of links, which is now the quickest means of locating vital industry-specific content pertaining to wind energy, and national and international business contacts. It was always the objective of i-s-t to promote wind energy with concrete, personal effort. The basis of this involvement is the knowledge that the future and the use of renewable energy sources are inextricably linked."

The Objective
"www.Windmesse.de should become simply the best reference centre for wind energy. On www.Windmesse.de manufacturers and retailers of wind generators can be found, business contacts can be made, and long-lasting business partnerships can be forged.

On 1st January 2001, "i-s-t Internet Communications" became the limited liability firm "smart dolphin GmBH" (www.smartdolphin.de), but remained in Hamburg. This new firm offers its customers two service packages:

1 Comprehensive IT services. We offer:
  - Internet presentations
  - Online information systems with database connections
  - Local Linux-based network systems
  - Firewall solutions
  - bespoke hardware and software solutions

2 The two portals, www.Windmesse.de and the new www.windfair.net.
  - www.windfair.net is the later extension to www.Windmesse.de, and the international, English-speaking platform for the wind energy industry." ... more

"WindPower Program
There is a considerable interest in wind power as a contributor to reducing our dependence on fossil fuel power sources. Unfortunately, the whole area is bedevilled by misunderstandings about precisely how much power can be obtained from wind turbines of all sizes and what exactly is their economic value. The WindPower program is aimed at clarifying some of these uncertainties. It is intended for both individuals and organisations.

The UK Wind Speed Database program is intended to present the Department of Energy and Climate Change's database in a more user-friendly form and to give users a better feel for the link between wind speed profiles and topography. Clearly, it is of use mainly to those concerned with UK wind power.

In addition to the WindPower and UK Wind Speed Database programs, this website covers a number of general issues associated with wind power such as wind statistics, the calculation of mean power, maximum turbine efficiency and the intermittent nature of wind power. The web pages on these topics can be navigated to from the technical webpage menu on the left. There is a also a reference library web page from which various publications and papers on wind power can be downloaded. This web page also gives access to a number of manufacturers' turbine data sheets

WindPower is an interactive computer program that can be used to calculate the performance of wind turbines ranging from small domestic units with rotors of a metre or two in diameter up to the largest commercial units with rotor diameters of around 100 metres in diameter. It can be used for both horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). It calculates mean power and annual energy outputs and enables the economics of a particular turbine to be estimated as a function of the mean wind speed at the site." ... more

All small wind turbines

"Since 2006 www.allsmallwindturbines.com has been researching the small wind turbine market, resulting in an extensive overview of small wind turbines.

Our mission is to provide independent small wind turbine information.

By being independent AllSmallWindTurbines.com assures that visitors are always informed in the best possible manner.

Finding an index of all the world's small wind turbines can be quite difficult. Although a lot of information can be retrieved, it is still a lot of work to bring it all together. The website has been set up to evolve to a total overview of small wind turbines.

Please note that all the information on this website has been taken from websites of manufacturers, wind energy associations and turbine dealers. The standard arrangement of the turbines is totally arbitrarily.

Besides the information on this website, the layout of the website is also under construction, as you have probably noticed. Please look beyond the somewhat amateurish lay out and try to appreciate the displayed information." ... more
