I was looking at a wind density map this evening. Am I safe to assume that the DOE #4 rating would be excellent for wind power generation?
Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
I think the wind driven power generating electricity is dependent on the wind speed or velocity in technical terminology.
The following article explains the general concepts of how wind mill generates electricity, step by step.

The air density is encountered in wind mill generating energy.

The ideal wind power energy is showed in the following chart.
