Quiz: Test Your Wind Energy IQ

Distributed wind power is used at or near where it is generated, as opposed to wind power from wholesale generation, where power is sent to consumers via transmission lines and substations. Employed by households, schools, farms, industrial facilities, and municipalities, distributed wind doesn’t only refer to small-scale turbines; it includes any size turbine or array of turbines that generates power for local or on-site use. Total distributed wind capacity in the U.S. is over 1,000 megawatts from over 83,000 turbines. | Energy Department photo Official news published at https://www.energy.gov/articles/quiz-test-your-wind-energy-iq
