PC Exhibit C <br /> A. Ezisting WECS-related Definitions - 78-1379(3)(d): <br /> (Suggested revisons are highlighted and in underline/s�i��format) <br /> (d) Wind Energy Conversion Systems Definitions <br /> HORIZONTA�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(kW)nameplate generating capacity or less. <br /> SMALL WIND ��� ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM. A ��e <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 shucture that supports a wind turbine. <br /> UTILITY WIND ���� ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM. A �� <br /> WECS of more than 100 kW nameplate generating capacity. <br /> YERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE. A type of wind turbine where the main rotor <br /> shaft runs vertically. <br /> WIND ENERGY CONYERSION 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 appears to mimic <br /> the appearance of a wind turbine as to the use of airfoils or other wind-caphuing devices <br /> but does not have electrical generating capability. <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
