The energy must be <br />used on-site with excess energy distributed into the electrical grid. <br />WECS Large: A Wind Energy Conversion System with a capacity of up to 100 M. <br />WECS Small: A Wind Energy Conversion System with a capacity over 100 kW. <br />WIND ENERGY SYSTEM: Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted <br />into electrical energy. <br />
