But help is on the way...Read More
Production Tax Credit (PTC) vs. Investment Tax Credit (ITC) – You can’t have both
Evaluating which incentive offers the greatest financial benefit to your project
July 7, 2009
The passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 brings both change and confusion to the process of selecting the most beneficial incentives for wind projects. In the past, only the PTC was available for wind projects over 100kw. Now with the addition of the ITC, it is important to quantify the relative value of the PTC in comparison to the ITC so you can make the best decision for your project. The important factors to consider when evaluating your options are cost of installation and the expected capacity factor (which determines the amount of energy that the project will produce).

Wayne Hildreth addresses the economic viability of wind projects along Georgia’s coast
Midway & Savannah, Georgia
May 21, 2009
Wayne Hildreth, President and CEO of Wind Energy Consulting and Contracting Inc. (WECC), made two presentations to audiences in the town of Midway, Georgia and later in the day at the Oatland Island Wildlife Center in Savannah, Georgia, addressing the potential for single turbine and small distributed energy wind projects in and around coastal Georgia. The potential is strong based on studies completed by WECC and other entities to design economically viable wind projects along coastal Georgia that will positively impact and mitigate monthly electrical expenditures for commercial facilities, school districts, municipalities, or any structure that consumes electricity. Mr. Hildreth was invited to speak on behalf of Rita Kilpatrick, the Georgia Policy Director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. WECC has continually and actively participated in the Georgia Wind Working Group and the Georgia Offshore Wind Working group for the past two years as led by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
Use of Wind Turbines to Capture Energy from Air Exhaust
May 21, 2009
There are several air exhaust applications where large volume of air is pumped externally continuously. Examples are: Coal mines; covered parking lots; and, industrial air handling systems. The first two applications extract contaminated air necessary to maintain satisfactory air quality, and the third application is to use air to transport materials, remove moisture, etc.
Using the above examples, a natural assumption is that the exhaust emissions can be captured and converted into useable energy. Read More

WECC answers questions about LEED building
LEED building with or without renewable energy?
April 30, 2009
Often when a "design and build" company evaluates alternative design options in order to reach a LEED certification goal, renewable energy components drop out because they are too costly. However, upon completion of a more sophisticated financial analysis, a LEED design with renewable energy can be less costly in the long run.
WECC's "Renewable Energy and LEED Certification" describes the connection between renewable energy and LEED points and describes ways to finance a renewable energy project that does not impact the cost...Learn more about incorporating clean, renewable energy into your LEED design.
Increasing the accuracy of your wind studies during prospecting
WECC explains the benefits of using SODAR (Sonic Detection and Ranging) to gather wind data
April 29, 2009
When prospecting for sites that are suitable for a wind farm, a developer must evaluate a large number of sites and narrow them down to ones that have the highest potential. WECC's "SODAR for Wind Projects" explains that with SODAR based measurements, a developer is able to evaluate multiple sites with an order of magnitude higher accuracy compared to traditional methods.
Although SODAR may seem like an expensive option, it is not only cost effective in the prospecting phase; it also provides the basis for layout of turbines that can yield higher energy production over the entire lifetime of a wind farm...Learn the other benefits of using SODAR; an innovative, economical, and flexible solution.
Should you believe what the manufacturer is telling you?
WECC explores how to verify claims of turbine manufacturers
April 28, 2009
A growing number of business owners, school administrators and civic leaders are seeking to develop wind energy projects of various sizes. Among the challenges in piecing together a wind project is the selection of a wind turbine. There are several factors used to determine the appropriate wind turbine for each project. Primary among these is using the manufacturer’s rated capacity to estimate energy production. However, some turbine manufacturers claim higher energy production than what a customer will realize.
WECC's "Truth in Rate Capacity of Turbine" is a concise analysis of what a turbine’s rated capacity means, how the rated capacity is determined, and how to quickly verify a manufacturer’s power rating and power curve...Learn how to verify if a turbine's actual production will ever measure up to its claim.
Renewable Energy and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification
April 28, 2009
In the recent years there has been a big push toward attaining LEED certification of buildings. In this entry I will describe the connection between renewable energy and LEED points, and describe ways to finance a renewable energy project that does not impact the cost.
When a "Design and Build" company proposes a LEED design to a developer, it chooses the most cost effective components of the design such that the points add up to the desired LEED level. For instance, if a designer wants to achieve a Gold level of LEED certification, then it needs 39 to 51 points. Inserting renewable energy generation into a project is a very expensive way to achieve this Gold target. There are several other significantly less expensive design options to accomplish the same goal. Read More
SODAR based Wind Measurements for Prospecting
April 28, 2009
Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR) is a ground based remote sensing technique for measuring wind speed in the three directions. It is based on Doppler shift in the frequency of the sound waves that are backscattered by temperature fluctuations in the atmosphere.
As the hub heights and blade lengths of turbines have increased, met-tower based measurements at 40, 50 and 60 meters, or sometimes 80 meters height are inadequate to provide an accurate estimate for wind speed at the hub height, let alone over the entire turbine rotor. With both hub heights and rotor diameter above 85m, met-towers of height 150m or more would be required to measure the wind speed over the entire turbine rotor. This would be cost prohibitive. SODAR provides an economical method to measure wind speed in this range of heights. Read More

Truth in Rated Capacity and Power Curve of Turbines
April 27, 2009
Among the challenges in piecing together a wind project is the selection of a wind turbine. Several factors are used to determine the appropriate wind turbine for each project. Primary among these is using the manufacturer's rated capacity to estimate energy production.
Some turbine manufacturers claim higher turbine name-plate capacity and therefore higher energy production than what a customer will realize. We have observed this most frequently in smaller vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) and less frequently in horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). This is a particular problem if power ratings and power curves are not certified by an independent agency. Read More
Cost of Energy for Small Wind Projects
April 17, 2009
In this entry I will talk about the cost of energy for small wind projects. The previous blog addressed how the cost of energy is computed and presented the cost of energy generation for utility scale turbines. The focus of this blog entry will be on turbines that are rated 10KW or less.
To recap, the cost of energy production depends on average annual energy production (AEP), total cost of installation, recurring cost for operations and maintenance, and the discount rate. Read More

Cost of Producing Wind Energy
April 10, 2009
In this entry I will describe how the cost of generating energy is computed, compare the cost of alternative sources of generating energy, and provide estimates for cost per kWh of energy from distributed wind projects of size 1MW to 3MW.
The debate about comparing costs of energy can become heated. People with vested interests in a project naturally want to predict lower cost per kWh for their favorite generation method and predict higher cost per kWh for the rest. In this article we will present a range of costs for comparison purposes. WECC understands wind energy and is very familiar with the various wind energy project costs; we rely on independent sources for costing information about non-wind projects. Read More

Economics of a Wind Project
March 27, 2009
In this blog I will discuss the economics of a wind project, with a focus on total installed cost of a wind project.
The most recent source of total installed cost of wind project is from the January 2009 issue of WindPower Monthly. It reported that the average total cost of fully installed projects in 2008 was 1,502 Euros per KW (or $1,950/KW at 1.3 conversion rate). The average was take over 3,600MW of installs worldwide in 2008. The range of costs was 1,300 to 1,700 Euros per KW. Although this data is skewed towards large wind farm projects, it serves as a lower bound for a community wind project of size 1 MW to 10MW. Read More

Wind is But a Piece of the Puzzle
March 25, 2009
Renewable energy is not the total answer to solve the energy dilemma, but is certainly part of the solution to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and wind is but a piece in solving the larger puzzle. When I think about the impact that renewable energy can have on a school, manufacturing plant, municipality or any location where the high and increasing cost of energy can be mitigated, I think back to a visit I made a couple of years ago to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy at Buzzards Bay. This school has its collective act together, in my view. Upon entering the campus one immediately sees a beautiful, gently spinning Vestas 660 wind turbine generator. Under the campus football field a geo-thermal system is buried. There are photo voltaic arrays on dormitories, and solar powered trash compactors spread throughout the campus. The point I am making is that this institution is using several solutions to counter the high cost of energy, and they are doing it effectively. Read More
