Eurowind - land owners and wind energy. Landowners Who we are Eurowind has a long pedigree of commissioning wind farms for more than a decade in Europe. Harnessing wind energy both onshore and offshore, Eurowind has a proven track record in delivering renewable energy projects. Eurowind is the partner that can secure the yield from your land. What we are looking to achieve Eurowind is always seeking new opportunities in Scotland. How we achieve it At Eurowind, we believe our landowner relationships are more than business transactions: we are entrusted by you to develop your land, and so we share a mutual respect and concern for it.
What it means to you The land the turbines are installed on can be within reason used for other purposes - such as grazing, shooting and forestry.

Get Your FREE Wind Turbine Site Assessment From Earthmill Today! Landowners | ABO Wind. A modern wind turbine can produce more than 6 million kilowatt hours of electricity in one year, which supplies electricity for over 1,400 households. Wind turbines are usually over 100m high with a blade diameter spanning around 80-90m. In addition to the turbines a wind farm site requires an electrical substation building and access tracks.
Wind farm access tracks often upgrade existing farm tracks to allow for the delivery of the turbines and also to improve farm access. Only 1-2% of a site is normally required for the development of a wind farm, which is why wind energy developments are so compatible with farming. Farmers can continue to use land for growing crops or grazing livestock. Land that is suitable for wind energy development will have a good wind speed, topography that allows access for vehicles and without designations such as National Scenic Areas, Special Protection Areas or Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
Are you interested in Having a Wind Farm on Your Land. Are you interested in Having a Wind Farm on Your Land? If you are, GreenPower would very much like to hear from you. Many areas of land are suitable for wind farm development, and land does not necessarily have to be located near hill tops or by the coast. Many inland sites can be suitable and normally considerable investigation is required to establish if a particular area of land is appropriate. What we are looking for in a good site is: What would help initially to assess the potential of land for wind farm development is: Up to date map of the land that you ownYour contact detailsAny information relating to the list above, 'what we are looking for in a good site' that you know about (this is not mandatory but can be helpful) We will consider all sizes of project from 1-3 turbine developments (1-5MW) up to large commercial projects (>50MW).
Once you have provided us with some details we will carry out some further investigations and will let you know if there is potential to progress.

The Wind Energy CDT hope to improve on the impressive industry participation from the 2013 event which contributed to an excellent day filled with analysis and discussion of the cutting edge wind research conducted at Strathclyde. Energy Technologies Partnership > Get Involved > Industry Collaboration > Knowledge Exchange Network. Funding (ca. £3m) has been secured from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Scottish Government, Scottish Funding Council, Scottish Enterprise and ETP Member Universities to establish a Knowledge Exchange (KE) Network. This will catalyse and accelerate KE activity between academia and SMEs, thereby increasing innovation, advancing the development of the low carbon economy in Scotland and supporting Scotland, UK and the EU to meet ambitious 2020 low carbon targets. Whether you are already in the low carbon industry, or you would like to be in it, we want to help.
The Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) is an alliance of 12 Scottish Universities and is one of the largest, most broadly-based power and energy research networks in Europe. With access to 250 academics and 700 researchers, and over £250M of testing facilities, the ETP can provide the spark you need to get your ideas onto the market. Whatever your needs, ETP wants to help.

Onshore Wind Farms - Frequently Asked Questions Scotland's onshore wind resource is one of the best in the world for wind farms. However, the Government recognises the spectrum of views and public debate on wind farms, and that it can be difficult for people who are not familiar with power generation and the complexities of electricity grid management to distinguish myths from facts in relation to the arguments voiced by both sides. What is the Scottish Government's position on wind farms? The First Minister has said that "The Scottish Government is committed to taking full advantage of our twenty five per cent share in Europe's wave and wind power capacity. We are determined to get rid of harmful emissions from our environment while capitalising on the vast economic opportunities our natural advantage in renewable energy poses.

British Wind - Powering Homes and Businesses. European Wind Energy Association - EWEA: Wind Energy FAQ. The Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, which is made up of air.
Air is a mixture of gas, and solid and liquid particles. Energy from the sun heats up the atmosphere and the Earth unevenly. Cold air contains more air particles than warm air. Cold air is therefore heavier and sinks down through the atmosphere, creating high pressure areas. Warm air rises through the atmosphere, creating low pressure areas. The wind is also influenced by the movement of the earth. The Earth's surface is marked with trees, buildings, lakes, sea, hills and valleys, all of which also influence the wind's direction and speed. Wind is usually measured by its speed and direction. Traditionally, wind speed is measured by anemometers – usually three cups that capture the wind rotating around a vertical axis (pictured below).
After measuring wind data for at least one year, the mean annual wind speed can be calculated. See how a wind turbine works! There are many factors at play when designing a wind farm.
