Lisbon initiative in promoting use of renewable energy
The Wind Parade Lisbon 2008 is a project produced by a joint venture between Energy and Lateral ForTheFuture aiming alert public opinion regarding the application of renewable energy in cities and residential areas. The event also aims to encourage and stimulate the search for solutions in the field of renewable energy. During the event, organizers have the project, installing 15 Wind Turbines in 15 sites selected by the city of Lisbon. The placement of the turbines will be the result of a creative competition between schools in Lisbon and sponsored by companies that will ensure the placement, while offering the turbine to the city of Lisbon. The competition is to develop projects that integrate the turbines in the city. The selection of the best proposals will be made by a panel appointed by the Board and by the people through the site of the event. Institutions of Charity Lisbon will also receive the electricity generated by turbines.

Already accustomed us to see the countryside Portuguese, large Master Com fans at the top, best known for aerogenerators that convert the wind into energy, hence the name Wind Energy. But the novelty is a new law that will allow the placement of Micro Wind Turbines in all dwellings. The technology used is that of micro and will allow all those who purchase one of these Microturbines participate in the production of electricity for the public network.

Type System:
Wind mills - use for grinding or pumping of water
Aeromotores - use to extract water from wells
Wind turbines or aerogenerators - used to produce electricity could be vertical or horizontal-axis
The wind turbines get energy converting energy from the wind in a torque acting on the rotor blades. The amount of energy transferred to the rotor by the wind depends on the density of the wind, sweep the area of the rotor and wind speed.
The micro wind turbines can be installed on the roof of buildings and may have a wide range of powers from 600 W to 6000 W, with a rotor between 2 m 4 m in diameter, the most common of the 1000 W.
