How Skystream Works
    
Skystreams converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electricity.
If the wind speeds are below "cut-in speed" there will be no output from the generator and all of the needed power is purchased from your electricity company, as normal.
As wind speed increases, the Skystream's output increases and the amount of electricity purchased from your electricity company is proportionately decreased.
When the Skystream is producing more energy than you are using, the surplus electricity is automatically exported (sold) back onto the grid, thereby displacing other more polluting sources of electricity.
In very high winds the Skystream will start to use electronic braking to control the rotational speed of the blades, thereby protecting itself in high winds and being able to harness the energy therein.
A Skystream should produce between 3,000 and 7,000 units (kWh) per year, depending on location and weather. The average household in the UK consumes 4,700 units (kWh) per year), so you could be self sufficient in electricity. |
