Is residential application realistic for wind power? I''ve seen a few videos that say absolutely not as wind energy needs two things to be effective: height of tower and size of blades.
READ MOREAccording to the US Department of Energy''s 2017 Wind Technologies Market Report, the average installed project cost is $1,610/kW. Let''s say the turbine is 2 MW, so that''s an upfront cost of $3.22 million. Most wind power is sold through contracts called Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
READ MOREA friend of mine wants to buy a vertical axis wind turbine (~2kw). However, after searching a lot, I only find negative comments about these kind of generators in popular sites. Most of the (negative) comments are related to the turbines generating a tiny fraction of their nominal power (e.g., 10w instead of 2000) or producing very low voltage.

READ MOREAccording to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), small wind turbines cost between $3,000 to $5,000 for every kilowatt of power capacity. Most homeowners using a wind turbine as their primary source of electricity install between 5 to 15 kW of wind power capacity, meaning they can expect to pay between $15,000 and

READ MOREA guy here on reddit tested power output of wind turbines vs solar batteries in 10 days interval and it turned out that 2 turbines are more effective then 3 solars, both of which require 6 components.
READ MOREThe "wind" is just the difference in speed between the car and the relatively stationery air. So if you attach a turbine to the car, it would need even more energy to move the turbine. That energy would come from the motor. So the motor would have to expend enough energy to move the car forward PLUS to move the turbine.
READ MOREIf you are in a place with high wind for a long period of time it could be beneficial to have a wind turbine and a separate power bank outside of your vehicle. Just plug-in to recharge your own batteries. Solar panels have come along way and can still get quite a bit of energy when it''s cloudy if you''re using mono Crystaline panels. 2.
READ MOREThis kind of turbines work best with a tip-speed-ratio (tsr=tangential speed of the tip of the blade / wind speed) of 7. So if you have a turbine with a 50m long blade and 5 m/s wind speed, it needs to rotate at almost 7 rpm. A smaller blade of 2m would need 167rpm.
READ MOREThe cost of making a wind turbine work with batteries and solar correctly is very high. Minimum you need a mppt controller and than you need a resistive brake like the midnite clipper to protect the controller.

READ MOREThe H260-18MW will have a rotor diameter of 853 feet (260 meters). To put that in perspective, that rotor diameter is as long as the height of the Haliade-X, which has a rotor diameter of 722 feet (220 meters). The 18 MW turbine will have 420-feet-long (128-meter-long) blades with a sweep area of 570,487 square feet (53,000 square meters).
READ MOREPower(available in wind)= 0.5x air density x Swept Area x wind velocity cubed. Assuming wind velocity at mere 4 m/s, we get 960 Watt of wind power. Thus, to achieve 50 Watt electric output, all we need is efficiency of 1/19, or 5 percent. 35-meter windtrap-fence at 1.5 height, facing the wind directly, at the same efficiency, will give 100Wt more.
READ MOREjackwmc4''s advice is sound for larger scale residential/small farm turbines. Check your zoning, though. You may have severe restrictions on turbines and towers. It''s unlikely you can get a building permit for a turbine with enough power to offset even 25% of your normal use for an average house. 100% isn''t likely to be doable in a residential

READ MOREWind turbines generate a variable amount of power based on the current wind speed, which in turn is based on ranges set by the current Weather. The wattage is directly proportional to the windspeed. They output 2300W at 100% wind speed, and 3450 W at 150% wind speed, the maximum. Wind direction is not a factor, so orientation of the
READ MORE100W = wind energy x swept area x efficiency. 100W = 1/2 x (wind speed)^3 x Area x efficency. 100Wx 2/ Wind speed x Efficnecy = area. putting in some approximations for effiency and density, using your lowest wind speed, gives an area of about 5.5 square meters, or a blade length of of 1.3 meters (approx 4.2 feet)
READ MOREWind turbines are pretty expensive, small units like you mention are very approximately £10k per kwh, so a 3kwh unit will be £30k. Pretty expensive for a home situation (unless this is your only option). As per somebody else''s comment, solar panels are they way to go- they are approx 10x cheaper than wind (for home).
READ MORETurbines can produce more power, just irregularly. It''s good to have a mix of solar and wind. Solar for stable baseline power, and wind to to charge your batteries. In terms of metal to power ratio wind turbines are more efficient than solar panels. Solar panels supply 1700W during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000W max, and will
READ MORESome turbines generate power with lower tip-speed and higher torque within highly varying wind speeds, some generate more power with higher tip-speed and less torque for more stable wind conditions. It REALLY depends, which is why data collection is the first step in the process, usually taking 1-2 years to collect.
