Title: Barriers to the application of wind energy conversion systems in urban settings

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5286832

Urban areas in the Northeast region of the United States, and specifically, those in New York State are unique in many respects and tend not to match urban characteristics in other areas of the country. The installation of WECS in these urban areas could create technical, community, economic, industrial, legal and ownership related problems which, in turn, could constitute a series of barriers preventing or discouraging the implementation or use of WECS. A study of these barriers is presented.
