Example Projects

List of Small Wind Turbines Projects

The lists given below (through hyperlinks) are not meant to be exhaustive. For the list of examples of government-funded projects, some smaller projects and latest projects are not included. For the list of examples of non-government projects, it is compiled from the Survey on Renewable Energy (RE) Installations, which started in late 2006, along with information gathered from other sources.

The Survey on RE Installations is an on-going exercise. The survey questionnaire can be downloaded from the main page of Example Projects.

Some of the photovoltaic projects are described below, with photos

Small Wind Turbines for Automatic Weather Stations of Hong Kong Observatory

Small wind turbines are used with solar panels to make up wind/solar hybrid DC power supply systems for automatic weather stations at several remote locations.

Small Wind Turbine Installation on Shek Kwu Chau

Shek Kwu Chau is an outlying island of Hong Kong, located in the south of Lantau Island, west of Cheung Chau Island. Four wind turbines of rated capacity 1 kW each and a 3.36 kW photovoltaic system have been installed on the island to provide off-grid electricity to some of the facilities there. Shek Kwu Chau is a restricted area and a permit is required to visit the island.
