Abstract
ABSTRACT SUBSTITUTION of wind generated electric energy for utility power for typical dairy farm operations results in high system installed costs and a prorated price per kilowatt-hour for electricity that is unlikely to be attractive to the dairy farmer. A total energy conservant system, however, which combines conservation measures as well as a smaller wind machine results in savings of thousands of dollars in initial and annual expenditure. Eventually, wind energy costs may be obtained in the range of 3 to 5 cents/kWh for herd sizes between 200 and 500 in high wind regimes of 8 m/s, and 5 to 9 cents/kWh for herd sizes between 200 and 500 in medium wind regimes of 6 m/s, making the innovation more likely to be accepted.
