Abstract :
An isolated electrical generation system powered by a Darrieus wind turbine is nearing completion. This is providing the University of Regina with a unique facility for the study of the economics and operation of isolated wind power systems, and for investigating the control and dynamics of such systems and alternatives for blade materials and coverings. It is suggested that the Darrieus wind system may provide significantly reduced costs in providing power to isolated locations. A demonstration system has been designed and installed. The motorizing circuit has been tested
