The objectives of the project was to construct 1kW wind turbine system (Hugh Piggot 4.2m turbine designs) using locally available resources at Kathmandu. A 1kW turbine was constructed at KAPEG and later installed at location "Nagarkot".

The performance of the turbine was monitored using datalogger and sensors assembled at KAPEG lab. The data monitoring system stores the value of battery voltage, generator current, wind speed, wind direction and frequency in order to be able to plot power curve and efficiency curve.
