Below are examples of wind turbines used as distributed energy resources—also called distributed wind—that produce electricity consumed on-site or locally, as opposed to large, centralized wind farms that generate bulk electricity for distant end users. If you have a distributed wind photo you would like to add to the photo gallery, please email distributedwind@pnnl.gov.
