I liked the explanation of small wind turbines. It reinforces my longstanding belief that efficiency in your building envelope and heating and cooling systems as well as appliances are the best ROI. If you build a home that requires only 20% of the energy to heat and cool through insulation and passive principles and select the most efficient appliances and use mini splits which can have SEER ratings over 30 and HSPF ratings over 14 and for hot water system use a heat pump unit. The cost of doing this will less than a solar or wind system.

Thank you for the informative information.

What I found is that the pole is just as expensive as the turbine which pushes up the price a lot. I found one all-in price for a 5kW darius for 25k Eur in NL

Good information, clear and to the point No hype and no BS I'm impressed and very grateful, thank you.

Oh thanks, about the costs, kWh and invest. With 19 Cent or for Thai Baht (6.27 Baht) I have to beet 4 Baht (first 150 kWh) to 7 Baht for over 400 kWh. 10 Meter plot available from old WiFi, but no Wind or less than 2 m/s most ... sadly. But I might have to measure some days myself to sure. So far the Solar have to make it ... Invest 6.400 US$ and paid of with savings End of November this year. Wind seam to be more expensive ...

good video

Please do a video of the efficiency of Flower Turbines, which uses a vertical axis design. They've raised over $9 million so far and they manufacture their turbines in the Netherlands and the U.S. Their largest wind turbines are rated at 5 KW.

I have not yet taken a close look at the details of this manufacturer. In general, I can say that manufacturers of small wind turbines often come onto the market with colorful marketing slogans and big promises. They disappear from the market just as quickly.

Flower Turbines are getting lots of media attention here in the U.S. They are the most prominent small wind turbine producer in the U.S. today. It would help someone who is an expert to check them out and let those of us with no expertise know whether they're legit or not. Their brochure claims that if you stack several of their wind turbines next to each other, a "bouquet effect" results in an increase in power output of up to 25%. That seems quite a lot.

Very good information. Can you recommend any good smaller turbines (say 3m to 3.5m ) for remote off grid cabins with solar+wind. In this case it is not so necessary to cost justify, but instead to keep batteries up in winter.

Check Bornay from Spain or Ryse Energy.

Great information, however, the final thought: "A small wind turbine only makes sense in a windy location" doesn't consider the long term cost of burning fossil fuels on our climate (that most grid energy comes from), nor the fact that there are some places on earth where there is no power grid, where travel and hauling in fossil fuels is very expensive, and where there's not much else to derive energy from besides slow winds. In that case, even though a small turbine would be quite expensive relative to other locations, it still may be the best option for that particular low-wind location.

@WindSunWisdom

Ай бұрын

At a location with very little wind, so little electricity is often generated that you do not have a positive ecological balance with the wind turbine. In this case, a small wind turbine makes no ecological sense.

@WindSunWisdom Great video, but I am confused about the type of current that is created. I thought that generators/ wind turbines create AC current. @ 3:40 you stated that they make DC current?

@WindSunWisdom

3 ай бұрын

Yes, in principle you're right, the wind turbine generates alternating current, but you can't use it that way. In this respect, the current is usually fed into a rectifier so that direct current is then available.

Thank you for clearing that up for me, as I have only a very basic understanding of electrical principles.@@WindSunWisdom

Thanks for that! We live in the Schwarzwald at 1000m and it get's pretty windy up here. I am thinking about installing a wind turbine but my neighbour is a racing pigeon enthusiast and we have his 30 pigeons flying around most days! :-( I wouldn't like to chop them all up for him so I am looking for something bird-friendly.

@WindSunWisdom

If your neighbor is against a small wind turbine for legitimate reasons, then it could be difficult with the installation. As far as I know, the design of the turbine does not have a major influence on how harmful it is to birds.

I would like to see a video about how to install an array of wind generators, and the charge controller that can manage the entire array, and use the energy to charge LiFePO4 batteries. And how this wind system, might be used to supplement and existing solar array and inverter system, to allow the wind to be a supplement for energy when the sun is not out.

@WindSunWisdom

So far, the standard has been one wind turbine and one charge controller.

The simplified financial model used to come to a price per kWh is too sinple to offer useful information. Micro Wind turbines have been squeezed out of the market due to the low cost of solar. Micro wind now only makes sense in remote off grid locations where brining in liquid fuels is not an option. Thank you for the video.

But you can hardly do anything with solar in the dark winter in Europe, for example, the yields are far too low. At the same time, it's a windy time of year, perfect for a small wind turbine. This is the role of small wind turbines.

@@WindSunWisdom I do agree with you, a mix of both solar and wind would complement each other really well, but solar is winning out, it's getting cheaper, wind is just too expensive and there are too many scams. Until we start seeing small scale wind turbines that actually work well and are a lot cheaper than they are now, then I think it's better to oversize a solar setup then to go wind power. Maybe vertical turbines might change that, but until I see solid evidence that they work well in urban areas, the risk is too high to bother with wind power at a local level when solar is getting so cheap and better.

I'm sorry that I don't agree with your point about 6 minutes and 41 seconds. I am a wind turbine manufacturer and my name is Eli. Clearly your comparison of wind turbine systems and electricity prices is oversimplified. Usually when we compare, we should divide it into grid-connected systems or off-grid systems. If it is an off-grid system we must consider the battery factor. Batteries are not cheap for most people. We all know that almost the vast majority of batteries come from China. If you want to buy some good quality battery chips, they are very expensive, and usually the lifepo4 batteries on the market only have a lifespan of 10 years. If you want to compare the price of electricity with the electricity produced by a wind turbine. You have to consider the cost of replacing the battery.

The video only deals with on grid systems. In fact, I could have made this clearer with reference to off-grid systems, which have different framework conditions.

Does it generate at normal wind speed of 4 mts per sec. Most small wind turbines fail in test.

@WindSunWisdom

2 ай бұрын

Yes, but there are also very good wind turbines on the market that have survived extensive testing.

How much is too much or too little wind?

@WindSunWisdom

3 ай бұрын

The average annual wind speed should be at least 4 meters per second. It is more economical from 5 meters per second. It is very difficult to make a general statement. The decisive factor is that you have a free inflow from the main wind direction, i.e. no trees or buildings for at least 200 meters.

I think I'd rather make my own probably for $1000 a 5000w turbine could be made

What phone. Number

Wind Turbines are Bullshit Solar panels have there short comings. A 5kva stand alone system is not cheap. Here in Australia when you buy a mains Solar power system/feeds back into the grid/ you really don't own the system. You really are only hiring it without knowing
