Significance of output:

First comprehensive field trial of building mounted wind turbines reporting directly to DECC and Scottish Executive. Project stakeholders included British Gas, DEFRA, B&Q, Carbon Trust and UK power companies. This study demonstrated building mounted turbines perform poorly. The UK switched to feed in tariffs within a year of the public report being released, avoiding wasteful subsidies, in a market worth £50m annually. Energy Saving Trust and Carbon Trust’s microwind turbine assessment tools were validated against this study. The DECC 2050 Future Energy Scenarios (www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/what%20we%20do/a%20low%20carbon%20uk/2050/216-2050-pathways-analysis-report.pdf) and IEC MT2 international study on wind classes and turbulence intensity utilise this study’s outputs.
