Wind Turbines
were
installed on MSU property in Fall 2008, and on four other K-12
school sites around Montana, with the assistance of NREL WfS technicians. The student team will take the lead on
creation of the energy monitoring system using the MSU
turbine as a test bed for development. Currently the
monitoring system is up and running at MSU and will soon be
available at other Wfs sites.

The
Skystream 3.7, developed by
Southwest
Windpower, was used
for the WfS sites along with MSU. With
an integrated power inverter and quiet
operation, the Skystream 3.7
turbine is ideally suited for residential applications. It is
designed to operate in Class 2 winds sites and is capable of
generating 2.4 kW in a 29 mph wind. To learn more about this
turbine check out the
Skystream Spec Sheet. Currently the turbine is being setup
to stream data to the web site, check out the latest data by
