Abstract

Small-scale wind turbines (SWTs) have the potential to complement residential PV systems, but their feasibility is highly dependent on local wind conditions, particularly at low elevations where wind resources exhibit high spatial and temporal variability. This study evaluates SWT potential in Poland (Central Europe) using hourly wind speed measurements over six years from 269 gauging stations. A generic power curve is applied to assess wind energy generation at 173 sites with sufficient data completeness (>95 %).
