What Are Appropriate Wind Speeds? |
|
Answer» Most good turbines will spin at 5 to 6 miles per hour. But, we at www.wind-inc.us recommend wind speeds of 12 to 14 miles per hour or higher for electric production. Most of WEST Texas fulfills this. Dallas averages 7 to 13.9 MPH. Arlington 7.5 to14.1 mph. Fort Worth 8 to 14.3 mph. Amarillo, Lubbock and further west and north, the wind speeds increase to averages of 18 to 21mph or even higher. If you put these turbines on a higher pole you will pick up even more wind SPEED. Most COMMERCIAL buildings can save 80% of their electric bill by use of wind power. Put in solar water heating, and initiate our 14 point energy AUDIT conservation steps and you have a possibility of becoming a "net zero" property, with no electric bill.
