  1. Wind energy in Germany and the pros and cons of household wind turbines The German Comenius team presents:

  2. What type of wind turbines exist? • Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) • Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT)

  3. Wind turbines and farms in Germany (Megawatt produced):

  4. What household models exist generally? Here some examples...

  5. cons (-) Initial costs are high Installing close to neighbours can be problematic. Dependent on wind. Local, regional, and national law sometimes makes building a turbine difficult. What are the pros and cons of installing a household wind turbine? pros (+): • Electricity powered by the elements does not emit CO2, which is blamed for global warming. • Wind can provide electricity in the summer and heat a house through winter, thereby saving money on bills. • Turbines come in a range of sizes, prices and powers. • One can sell excess electricity back to the national grid.

  6. Household wind turbines in Germany • Unfortunately, • household turbines are • rare in most German states due to • difficult laws, high installation costs and • inconsistent wind speeds. Public interest in sound energy production, however, is creating change.
