Controls are needed on micro wind generation

It’s always interesting when you get a convergence of information on a subject and, in my case, that has happened with micro-generation of electricity using wind power.

First was the deluge of television ads from the DIY chain B&Q, advertising the WindSave micro-wind turbine as one of the solutions that will have us sailing off into a sunny, green future.

Then there were the sometimes heated discussions on Selfsufficientish as to whether micro-wind turbines really can be as good as claimed.
