Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to review opportunities for the use of windpower in remote areas where there is no electricity grid, which of course is a common feature of the rural areas of many of the poorer developing countries. It should also be mentioned that similar situations arise in the remoter areas of some of the larger and richer developed countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, the USSR and even parts of Western Europe. Hence, generally speaking the wind systems appropriate in the remoter parts of the developing countries are equally applicable in the remoter parts of the industrialized countries for similar purposes. Therefore, this paper will deal exclusively with small stand‐alone windpower systems and will also highlight one or two significant factors of special importance for the use of the technology in developing countries, such as the potential importance of local manufacture of equipment.
