by shankargallery

Question by Dylan S: How many homes do wind powered generators power each year?
its for my science project

Best answer:

Answer by Thomas CA modern wind turbine has a capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 MW. Unfortunately they don’t run continuously, much less at maximum capacity.

Since this is your science project, I’ll let you do most of the research. Here are some of the items you’ll need.

1) Annual kWh consumption of the “average” home.
2) Installed capacity of wind turbines.
3) Average capacity factor of wind turbines. (25 to 40%)

You need to decide whether your research is [...]

Is there a forum for people who want to build their own wind turbines and generators and stuff?

by Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs

Question by Tahini Classic: Is there a forum for people who want to build their own wind turbines and generators and stuff?
I am looking for some website or forum where I can discuss the nitty-gritty of making wind turbines and building anything that enables people to go off the grid and build their own boats, heat sources, alternative fuels, all-natural materials, etc.
Would anyone know where to find that?
Thanks.

by james_gordon_los_angeles

Question by Hobgoblin66: Installation of GE 1.5MW Wind Turbine Generators?
I work as an estimator for an electrical contractor. We are bidding a fairly large wind farm with GE 1.5MW WTGs. Can anyone give me an idea as to what is involved in their internal electrical connections? I would also like to know roughly how many man hours are involved?

Best answer:

Answer by rhsaundersYou should be able to get this information from GE. Among issues that will need to be dealt with are transformers, circuit breakers and disconnects, and wiring from the WTG’s to a collection point [...]

Where on earth can I find small wind turbine generators, lets say around 2.5 v?

Best answer:

Answer by JackoYou can easily make one from an old stepper motor out of a printer, or a computer.
Just put a fan or a propeller on the shaft and that’s it. If you want to produce DC, then you will need a rectifier as well.
This will probably take the form of 6 diodes, in order to get the maximum output.
Have a go, it [...]
