| Abstract | This article investigates the feasibility of the application of wind turbine as a means of offsetting the electricity demand for public buildings within Scotland. A number of case studies are presented with respect to currently operational micro-, midi- and macro wind turbines within England and Scotland. Presently, the micro-, midi- and macro wind turbines have been categorised as those that have their nominal output within 0-2 kW, 2-20 kW and Gt20 kW power bands. Their electrical energy generation data have been critically analysed. In particular the turbinespsila capacity factor, the annual energy output and payback period are presented. It has been found that within urban settings micro-turbines perform poorly and hence they are uneconomical. The payback period for midi-turbines located at rural, high-altitude locations with clear horizons are of much shorter order. However, the sitting of such turbines is critical. For large public sector organisations, such as universities and institutions of higher education with a high electrical energy demand and base load, large, megawatt machines provide a sustainable and economic solution. It has been shown that for one Scottish university, presently under discussion, two 1.25 MW wind turbines provide the economical option with a payback period of 7.4 years. The capacity factor for the latter machine, to be located 35 km west of university campus will be around 0.14. The machine will be able to offset 84% of the total electrical load for Napier Universitypsilas Merchiston campus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
