In this paper a series of estimations has been performed in order to establish the actual cost-effectiveness of small wind turbines (SWTs). Different design solutions have been evaluated and based on their power curves and installation costs, using accurate wind data, a rate of investment return (ROI) period has been calculated for each one of them. The chosen turbines are: a classic three bladed horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), an advanced diffuser augmented HAWT and a Darrieus type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The conclusions drawn from this study entertain the idea that from the economical point of view, a price reduction of SWT systems is more important, than aerodynamic complexity and efficiency.
