In the last years an increasing attention has been paid to distributed energy production from small wind turbines (i.e. < 200 kWp). The market, especially in Italy, has grown up very rapidly in the last years (basically not existing since 3-4 years ago, now it counts approximately 8 MWp). The main purpose of the paper is therefore to provide a reliable cost analysis reference to design, plan and control a project, which also includes a correct estimation of the financial risk incurred by both EPC contractors and investors. For the firsts, it also represents a cash flow analysis tool useful for financial planning, while for the seconds it’ s useful for financial control. Key words: resource management; costs management; small wind business.

Abstract
In the last years an increasing attention has been paid to distributed energy production from small wind turbines (i.e. < 200 kWp). The market, especially in Italy, has grown up very rapidly in the last years (basically not existing since 3-4 years ago, now it counts approximately 8 MWp). The main purpose of the paper is therefore to provide a reliable cost analysis reference to design, plan and control a project, which also includes a correct estimation of the financial risk incurred by both EPC contractors and investors. For the firsts, it also represents a cash flow analysis tool useful for financial planning, while for the seconds it’ s useful for financial control. Key words: resource management; costs management; small wind business.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
