Design and Implementation of Low-Cost Safety system for Small Wind Turbine

Wind energy as source of electricity has grown rapidly in the recent years. Consequently, a great variety of research on wind turbines impact on environment is necessary. It is worth to mention that notably the Small Wind Turbines gain on importance. This is due to low assembly and maintenance costs and increasingly restrictive large-sized wind turbines erection law. Safety system for a wind turbine is a crucial part of a secure energy source. In this paper the design and implementation of low-cost safety system for Small Wind Turbine is presented.
