Wind diesel



Diesel generators are often used to produce electricity in remote areas with isolated grids. Electricity generated in this way is expensive. Besides the purchase price for diesel there are other specific costs that have to be taken in to account. Costs for transport and storage and costs of losses, for example. On top of this diesel generators are not very efficient and will generate about 3 to 4 kWh out of one litre of diesel. As a result the price for electrical energy in isolated grids is high, sometimes up to 80 Euro cent per kWh.
