Due to materials shortage and increasing import costs there is a need for alternativetechnology to be developed for the small wind turbine industry. For the small wind industrythe supply and cost of materials will be a huge factor in shaping the future of the technologyused in wind generators. This project looks at alternative technology to improve efficiency,performance and simplify the system for installers and end users. In doing this the project willeradicate the use of imported materials in favour of a more cost effective alternative that canbe sourced in the UK. There is also a need for small wind turbine systems to be simplified forinstallers and end users, which is why the project will look to incorporate an innovative ‘plugand play approach’ using alternative technology in the process. The key objectives of theproject are to conduct initial feasibility studies on small wind technologies to deal with theseissues and to produce a design for a prototype small wind turbine. The project will have aneconomic impact on the wider UK manufacturing industry with jobs and revenue created byestablishing a UK supply chain for the manufacture of this innovative wind turbine. Quality oflife will be improved with independence from the national grid for end users. This windturbine will be a valuable learning tool and a vital part of engineering, science and STEMactivities in schools. The energy that the turbine itself produces will offset energy used duringmanufacture and also energy that would otherwise be consumed from the grid and fossil fuelsby the end user. Thus the technology contributes towards the reduction of Carbon Dioxideemissions and assists the UK in lowering its Carbon emissions.

由于材料短缺和进口成本的增加，因此需要为小型风力涡轮机行业开发替代技术。对于小型风力行业，材料的供应和成本将是塑造风力发电机技术未来的重要因素。该项目着眼于提高效率，性能并简化安装人员和最终用户的系统的替代技术。在这样做的过程中，该项目将使用进口材料来使用进口材料，而有利于在英国采购的更具成本效益的替代方案。还需要简化小型风力涡轮机系统，以供媒体和最终用户进行简化，这就是为什么该项目将在此过程中使用替代技术融合创新的“插入式游戏方法”的原因。该项目的关键对象是对小风技术进行初步可行性研究，以处理这些问题并为小型风力涡轮机制作设计。该项目将对更广泛的英国制造业产生漫画的影响，并通过就业和收入创造了一个创新的英国供应链来制造这种创新的风力涡轮机。最终用户的国家网格独立性将改善生活质量。这种风能将是一个有价值的学习工具，也是学校工程，科学和茎的重要组成部分。涡轮机身产生的能量将抵消在制造过程中使用的能量，以及否则将从最终用户的网格和化石富尔斯（Fossil Fuelsby）中消耗的能量。该技术有助于减少二氧化碳，并有助于英国降低其碳排放。
