Where You  Need the Perfect Turbine Choice

According to significantly underestimated statistics, which do not take into account freestanding remote buildings and structures, about 30% of private farms in rural areas, where the laying of electrical networks is impossible for economic reasons, do not have electricity supply. Not everywhere are even generators on liquid fuel. And this is in the XXI century.

Studies have shown that wind power stations of various capacities can be installed in many areas of the north and the choice of installation is influenced by customer needs. If it is necessary to ensure the operation of agricultural machinery, a low-powered wind generator will cope with this task. If you need to electrify the whole building, adjust the street lighting, provide heating at home, you need to carry out the project of a wind power plant. In addition to the average monthly wind speed and its direction, it is necessary to calculate the average monthly consumption and peak load of electricity.

The Proper Calculation

Such calculations, if desired, are easy to perform independently. There is another indicator that affects the cost of equipment and installation of wind turbines. This is the height of the mast. The higher the structure, the greater the wind speed and the more expensive it is. The optimum, according to experts, is the height of the mast at 10 greater than the tallest tree or building within a radius of 100 m.

• For the operation of an electric pump, television, lighting or other low-power electrical appliances at the dacha, a wind power installation can be done personally if there is some knowledge in electrical engineering.
• There are reference data and recommendations on the choice of GIGA Turbines power, the size and number of its blades and sufficiently detailed instructions on how to make a wind power station with your own hands, from what materials and assemblies.
• Mass construction reduces the cost of one kilowatt and brings it closer to the price of electricity derived from traditional sources. The design of wind power plants is constantly being improved, aerodynamic and electrical indicators are improved, and losses are reduced.

A wind generator (wind power plant or abbreviated wind turbine) is a device for converting wind energy into electrical energy.

First, it transforms the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the rotor, and then into electrical energy. The power of the wind generator can be from 5 kW to 4,500 kW. Modern devices generate energy even very weak winds – from 4 m / s. Wind power plants can be part of a private independent power plant and allow selling excess energy to the state under the terms of the “green tariff”. Such facilities can be a source of energy for local and island facilities, as they solve the problems of power supply autonomously.

How a wind generator works: the principle of wind energy conversion

Wind flows rotate the blades of the wind generator: pass through the turbine, puts it into action and it begins to rotate. Energy arises on the turbine shaft, which will be proportional to the wind flow. The stronger the wind, the greater the amount of energy arises.
