CHAPTER 152: ZONING CODE Page 4 of 9 <br />PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A system that captures solar light or heat without <br />transforming it to another form of energy or transferring the energy via a heat exchanger. <br />PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM. A solar energy system that converts solar energy directly into <br />electricity. <br />RESIDENTIAL WIND TURBINE. A wind turbine of ten kilowatt (kW) nameplate <br />generating capacity or less. <br />SMALL WIND TURBINE. A wind turbine of 100 kW nameplate generating capacity or <br />less. <br />SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM. A device or structural design feature, a substantial purpose of <br />which is to provide daylight for interior lighting or provide for the collection, storage and <br />distribution of solar energy for space heating or cooling, electricity generation or water heating. <br />TOTAL HEIGHT. The highest point above natural grade reached by a rotor tip or any other <br />part of a wind turbine. <br />TOWER. A vertical structure that supports a wind turbine. <br />UTILITY WIND TURBINE. A wind turbine of more than 100 kW nameplate generating <br />capacity. <br />VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE. A type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft <br />runs vertically. <br />WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM (WECS). An electrical generating facility that <br />consists of a wind turbine, feeder line(s), associated controls and may include a tower. <br />WIND TURBINE. Any piece of electrical generating equipment that converts the kinetic <br />energy of blowing wind into electrical energy through the use of airfoils or similar devices to <br />capture the wind. <br />R <br />Flair <br />Wrap <br />S�M1lII .Akt Art cal NH S <br />Mid hotline CoilfiginViNtl <br />§ 152.186 WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS (WECS) STANDARDS. <br />(A) Zoning districts. <br />(1) Utility wind turbines shall be allowed as an accessory use in the I and BP districts. <br />http : / /www.amlegal.com /alpscripts /get- content.aspx 1/16/2014 <br />
