ECOTECH'94 gladly announce the presentation and discussion of the paper entitled: WIND ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT --------------------------------------- by Thomas O. Gray (Editor, Wind Energy Weekly), Norwich, USA The paper presents wind energy as an environmentally preferable source of electric power around the world. Today, there are approximately 25,000 wind electric turbines generating power worldwide, totalling 2,600 megawatts (MW) of peak generating capacity and producing nearly five billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually. Thomas Gray briefly reviews the history of windpower and discusses the economics, environmental impacts, basic operating principles, and applications of modern wind electric turbine technology. Applications described include windfarms, small remote power systems, large hybrid power systems, and dispersed grid-connected units.
