Abstract :
Harnessing wind near existing electrical infrastructure is a low-cost way to tap alternative energy sources. However, it should be done in a manner considerate to converter owners and neighbors. Wireless sensor networks can be used to control wind-to-electricity converters toward this goal and can aid toward re-scheduling electrical loads.
