(a) Wind Energy Conversion Systems shall mean a wind powered rotating device or wind generator located on top of a pole or structure that in turn rotates a wind turbine to generate electricity.
(b) Wind Energy Conversion System - Large shall mean a Wind Energy Conversion System (WEC) that has equal to or greater than capacity of 100 kilowatts.
(c) Wind Energy Conversion System - Small shall mean a Wind Energy Conversion System (WEC) that has a maximum capacity of 100 kilowatts.
(d) Wind Generator shall mean the blades and associated mechanical and electrical conversion components mounted on top of the tower whose purpose is to convert kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy used to generate electricity.
(e) Wind Turbine shall mean a device that converts kinetic wind energy that drives an electric generator that generally consists of a tower, nacelle body, and a rotor with two or more blades. (Ord. 2009-28. Passed 12-8-09.)
