TL;DRAbstract

This project determined the feasibility of small-sized wind turbines placed in residential areas by reseaching different types of small wind turbines, calculating turbine effeciencies in all wind zones, and calculating payback periods of top five overall most effecient wind turbines. Currently small scale wind turbines have low efficiences and long payback periods, making them less attractive compared to large turbines.
