What is Wind for Schools? Renewable Energy Education- students and community Excitement Understanding

Small Turbines at Schools NREL-funded Up to 5 per year per state Rural schools in 6 states Math, physics, engineering Energy, environment, stewardship Marketing

States Involved Colorado Idaho Kansas Montana Nebraska South Dakota Next year…

Skystream Wind Turbine Southwest WindPower 1.9 kW rated Wind class 3: 14 mph avg kWh/mo 8¢/kWh => $30/mo Average-sized house fall/spring consumption

Sight and Sound Skystream on 60-ft pole at Greenbush, Girard, KS Skystream on 33-ft pole at Fairfield, Langdon, KS

Selection Criteria Good wind: class 3+ (50m) Good site: 200-ft clearance to 20-ft height Local champion(s): community, utility and teacher support Administration, board approval Science teacher willing to use in curriculum

2007 Sites Map Concordia Manhattan Ell-Saline Walton Fairfield Sterling

Cost MaximumMinimum Turbine$3,510 Tower$6,9452,000 Foundation Materials $1,275$630 Elec Connect$4,713$836 InstallationDonated Total$16,443$6,976

Financing Southwest WindPower donates part of turbine by selling at cost. Green donations$2,000 State support$1,000 Utility/communityFoundation, Elec connections, labor School$1,554 to $7,455

School Commitment Integrate into curriculum (NEED, KidWind) Cooperate with other schools Send students to WAC schools Send workers into wind industry

Community Benefit Positive attitudes toward wind Community pride! Familiarity, comfort level Increased environmental awareness Support for green regulation Utility familiarity, enthusiasm

Utility Benefit Assisting schools is positive PR. Experience with small-scale parallel generation may help encourage renewable- friendly policies

University Benefit More wind engineering students Increased potential for research funds Significant outreach to interested citizens Increased interest in renewable energy on campus

Vision Excited children comparing turbines Communities understanding renewable energy Utilities understanding renewables Increasing workforce for renewables Less carbon, less NOx, SOx Less human impact Better tomorrow!

Going Bigger Entegrity 50kW turbine $200,000 installed 36,000 kWh/month $2,900/month 6-15-yr payoff

Even Bigger Northwind kW upwind turbine $ ,000 installed 6-15-yr payoff

2008 Sites Map Randolph Greenbush Pretty Prairie Barber Co Deerfield

Future Plans Spring 2009: Request for applications for Continue 5 per year in future (funding?) : Master website of all WfS turbines Collaborations with community colleges?
