Document Description
A small residential scale turbine (no more than 10 kW size) will be installed on UC property out at the Davis campus, most likely near their agricultural laboratory facilities where there are currently met towers run by the university along with other equipment for educational purposes. This type of turbine is a commercially off the shelf systems that the public can purchase. Typical height for these systems is less than 30 ft. so there are no airspace or special tower restrictions for these systems. The turbine comes with a self-erecting tower than can be pulled up and taken down without cranes, etc. It is basically a tilt-up stand with turbine on top. There are no plans to hook this system up to the grid since it is more of an educational stand will be used for teaching purposes rather than energy generation. There are no power purchase agreements or interconnection/transmission issues.
