Description/Abstract:
BLOCK ISLAND RHODE ISLAND WIND TURBINE GENERATES ELECTRICITY FOR THE C OMMUNITY ON BLOCK ISLAND. HERE A RESIDENT TURNS ON THE LIGHT WITH THE WIND TURBINE IN THE BACKGROUND. THE USDOE AND NASA HAVE BEEN HAS SPO NSORED THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIMILAR WINDMILLS AT SITES THROUGHOUT THE U .S. TO DETERMINE THE ECONOMICS OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY BY THIS METHO D AND TO TEST OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF ADVANCED LARGE WIND TURBINE COUPLED TO CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC UTILITYS SYSTEMS.
