Site Selection
The key objective of a site evaluation or study is to place the HONEYWELL™ Wind
Turbine so energy generated from the wind is maximized while meeting the local
zoning requirements. Key elements to focused on during the site evaluation include:
1. High average wind speeds. The turbine delivers its best energy performance
in areas of high wind speeds. This can best be determined by using simple
anemometers at the installation site. It is recommended that such wind speed data
is recorded for as long a period as possible and even better if several seasons are
considered. When this is not possible, rely on published wind data as an estimate
for the average local wind speeds. Published wind atlases can contain very useful
