wind energy

Wind power is now the fastest growing source of new electricity in the world, experiencing over forty per cent annual compounded growth.

Wind farms and individual wind turbines are springing up worldwide, providing small and large amounts of clean, quiet, non-polluting power.

At SDA, we have experience in the design, engineering, siting and construction of wind turbines in all sizes, ranging from residential to commercial and utility-scale applications. When favorable wind resources are available, we will recommend, specify and source wind power applications as a major factor in your renewable-energy solution.

Wind Energy is Solar Energy Massachusetts Maritime Academy wind turbine at the western mouth of the Cape Cod Canal.	Wind is generated by differences in air pressure between land masses and bodies of water, as solar radiation heats land and water at different rates. On and near large bodies of water, airflow is more consistent, and the radiant energy of the sun is reliably converted to the kinetic energy of wind. SDA engineered the utility-scale wind turbine installation shown at left.
Wind Energy is Community-friendly Electricians' Union turbine in Boston	Wind energy can be harnessed in both urban and rural settings. Wind power and other renewable-energy applications represent jobs for future generations. Labor unions are growing increasingly active in the deployment of renewable-energy systems, and are rapidly re-skilling for future job growth in the alternative energy sector. SDA worked with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on the installation of a commercial-scale turbine at their regional training facility in Boston.
Wind Energy is Cost-effective Wind turbine at the Tofte Cabin in Minnesota	Wind power becomes more economically feasible as the cost of fossil fuels continues its upward trend. Smaller, community-based installations of wind turbines, singly and in groups, are springing up around the world. SDA designed a hybrid solar/wind energy system for a vacation home on the northern shore of Lake Superior
