Wind Turbine Site Check: Thrive or Fail?
Переглядів 1,1 тис.7 місяців тому
Most important: Checking the wind your site! Investing in a small wind turbine is the first step towards energy independence. But without a thorough site check regarding the local wind resource, it's easy to end up with a system that falls short of expectations, leading to both financial loss and disappointment. It's a common misconception to assume your property is sufficiently windy; however,...

    How much noise do wind turbines produce between 3 and 15m high for example? Some people say as much as a 'fridge' but distance must be an important factor?

    30.000 dollars for the turbine alone ... lol. I pay ca. 300 euros per year for electricity. Which means, even if I live for another 100 years I still would not have spent as much money as for this turbine alone.

    I would be interested in knowing the generating motor size on each... As in, at 50rpm = 10watt ? (If the horizontal has a larger motor, then the test is flawed) Traditionally a horz has 9 points of wear, while the vert only has 3.... Which makes the vert cheeper to maintain (some tests also say verticals will turn on less air)... Stay Safe

    So I have to wait till the system cost doubles n price? Here in southern Spain I just got quoted 11200 euro for a 5 kw sys all included ( yes battery as well) installed… what is going on here? Meanwhile one of the largest electricity distributors offered and I signed it a rate of € 0.1023 per kWh… I can sign up for a night tariff (less that 0.8 ) charging battery (purchase =2000) , i am considering that…as the electrical would have a smooth feed not influencing my high end sound system….

  • @spawnofnamaah

    One consideration that I find very much understated is in the comparison between horizontal and vertical wind mills, is the sheer footprint required for horizontal mills when you take anchoring and wiring into account. For our own location as an example, I can say we're in a consistently windy coastal area. Yet our property is in the vicinity of trees as well and space is limited. The vertical mills might generate less in a 1:1 comparison to an equal size horizontal mill, but considering the horizontal mill will require more turbulence free consistent winds, it would require height and potentially cutting down of some trees! For the same ground area with less height I can have multiple vertical mills instead with each a much smaller footprint on the property. So basically looking at the kW per square meter on a property for mill footprints.

    Another mistake is overestimating the wind. Consumer wind turbines have rated speed, often above 10 m/s. Unless your area gives much wind, a mistake of installing it would only produce a nearly useless amount of energy that you'd get per day - barely just for lighting purposes.

    There is a lot of room for adjusting the height and width ratio of the trusses and sails. I think it is best to look around and even do your own experiments. It is an open field and the more the merrier. Watching a video of lab wind tests it seems that cylinder sails capped with discs cut into small fins not only is the most efficient but doesn't require starter blades

    Maybe off topic slightly, but in the early 1980s I stayed in an off grid rural shack that had a couple of car batteries 12v fed trickle charge by a small wind turbine. This powered a somewhat function, if gloomy low voltage home light system and a portable TV set (B&W). The thing is we never ran out of power for 2 of us. It occurred to me the technology for this set up (minus the TV) must have been around since the 30s or 40s, but I cannot find much in the way of evidence this was in use back then. I guess most people used candles or kerosene lamps. Of course with advances in LED lighting our 1980s lighting system would be more effective. I’d imagine that the sort of set up in this YT video would leave our DIY “primitive” 1980s system in the dust.
