This document summarizes basics of wind power for residential use, including different types of wind turbines, power calculations, site evaluation steps, and examples. It discusses vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) and horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT), the cubic relationship between wind power and velocity, and the Betz limit on turbine performance. Steps for small wind projects include wind studies, permits, financing, incentives, and grid connection. An example 1.9 kW turbine can power 33 light bulbs. Links provide power calculation resources and small wind turbine providers.
