Council <br /> Exhibit A <br /> DRAFT WECS Ordinance for Discussion 3/9/15 <br /> A. Ezisting WECS-related Definitions - 78-1379(3)(d): <br /> (Initial l l/14 staff-suggested revisions are in underline/st��eug�format highlighted in yellow) <br /> (Revisions revisions resulting from PC 1/20/15 review are highlighted in gt��) <br /> (d) Wind Energ,y Conversion Systems Definitions <br /> HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE. A wind turbine design in which the rotor <br /> shaft is parallel to the ground and the blades are perpendicular to the ground. <br /> HUB. The center of a wind generator rotor, which holds the blades in place and <br /> attaches to the shaft. <br /> HUB HEIGH7: The distance measured from natural grade to the center of the <br /> turbine hub. <br /> MONOPOLE TOWER. A tower constructed of tapered tubes that fit together <br /> symmetrically and are stacked one section on top of another and bolted to a concrete <br /> foundation without support cables. <br /> RESIDENTIAL WIND ���� ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM. A � <br /> �e WECS of 10 kilowatt(kV�nameplate generating capacity or less. <br /> SMALL WIND ���� ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM. A ,.�„a *"-�'�:�� <br /> WECS of 100 kW nameplate generating capacity or less. <br /> TOTAL HEIGHT: The highest point above natural grade reached by a rotor tip or <br /> any other part of a wind turbine. <br /> TOWER. A vertical structure that supports a wind turbine. <br /> UTILITY WIND �b�IzW� ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM. A ' <br /> WECS of more than 100 kW nameplate generating capacity. <br /> VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE. A type of wind turbine where the main rotor <br /> shaft runs vertically. <br /> WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM (WECS�. An electrical generating <br /> facility that consists of a wind turbine, feeder line(s), associated controls and may include <br /> a tower. <br /> WIND TURBINE. Any piece of electrical generating equipment that converts the <br /> kinetic energy of blowing wind into electrical energy through the use of airfoils or similar <br /> devices to capture the wind. <br /> ORNAMENTAL WIND DEVICE. A decorative structure that appeazs to mimic <br /> the aupearance of a wind turbine as to the use of a.irfoils or other wind-capturing devices <br /> but does not have electrical �eneratin�capabilitv. <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br />
