Tommee Tippee Digital Thermometer. The company will introduce its own system of sensors to measure wind speeds, to help in improving the safety of residential wind loads. The company will also provide feedback to power grid operators who use the system, said Jim Capps, vice president of regulatory engineering at Bell Energy. "Weve used some of the same technologies that youve seen used in large commercial wind systems to deliver reliability in residential systems," Capps said. Wind turbine safety will become more challenging by the year 2022. In a recent report, Capps warned that wind-borne safety measures must be significantly improved. "Weve been seeing a major increase in wind capacity at the end of the last century ... and thats one factor that might drive the risk forward ... but we havent been able to show what can be done. The only other option at this point, at this time, is the use of passive generators," he said. Tippee also announced four new commercial-scale wind turbines in the US and Canada. "Our initial plans were to have four turbines within two years of completion in both areas, with additional turbines coming over the next five years," said Tippee director of the National Center for Energy Storage (NCE). Tippees total wind power capacity, at 50 gigawatt, is currently around 300 MW. Capps said this would be at least 10
