Wind Power For Your Home.
Wind Power for your home is a decision that can both help you save money as well as reduce your carbon footprint. To start you will need a wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower. That turbine then collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system.
In a normal residential application, Wind Power for your home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility. If the wind speeds are below cut-in speed (7-10 mph) there will be no output from the turbine and all of the needed power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, turbine output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased.When the turbine produces more power than the house needs, the extra electricity is sold to the utility. All of this is done automatically. There are no batteries in a modern residential wind system. Small wind systems for remote applications operate somewhat differently.
