Growing concerns about sustainability issues with fossil fuels have resulted in strong interest in wind power worldwide. Grid-connected inverters are an efficient way of utilising small wind turbines on domestic, farming or small commercial properties which have access to the power grid. Existing small-scale, grid-connected wind turbines are expensive and have a limited operating wind speed range. We are investigating new designs for low-cost wind turbine generators which can produce power over a wide range of wind speeds. The project should result in a greater application of small-scale wind generators in Australia and will lead to reductions in fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions.

人们对化石燃料可持续性问题的日益关注导致了全球对风电的浓厚兴趣。并网逆变器是在接入电网的家庭、农业或小型商业地产上使用小型风力涡轮机的有效方式。现有的小型并网风力发电机价格昂贵且运行风速范围有限。我们正在研究低成本风力涡轮发电机的新设计，该发电机可以在较宽的风速范围内发电。该项目将使小型风力发电机在澳大利亚得到更多应用，并减少化石燃料的使用和温室气体排放。
