Domestic Wind Turbine: 3 New Features

The domestic wind turbine of today is not the domestic wind turbine of yesterday

. These devices are changing and improving rapidly and have been made to be a lot more reflective of wind science technology and improvements made in commercial units over the past 25 years.

The technology that supports the home wind turbines we use at our homes today is certainly not as complicated as commercial units but it has taken advantage of the best thinking about how to improve these devices to produce more power. In its simplest and most basic form, the domestic wind turbine is a device that a child can understand, which makes it the best choice for you for starting out in the renewable energy business at home.

These are the 3 new features of the domestic wind turbine that are making the devices more efficient and more productive for homeowners

Lower cut-in speeds - Cut-in speed is the velocity of the wind at which you'll start to make power with your device. Obviously, the lower the speed is, the more power you will be able to make. The problem is though that you are having to give up something on the other side of the equation by having a very low initial speed to begin making power. That is, you are going to have more trouble making power at the higher wind velocities with a low cut-in speed unit because of the reduction in weight and the subsequent reduction in inertia from having such a ultra-efficient wind turbine kit at low velocities of wind.

Better blade technology - The aerodynamics of the blades and the weight to performance ratio of the blades have a tremendous amount to do with success and proficiency of your overall wind turbine. That is because this is where all the money is being spent in research and development these days. Making the blade system as efficient as it possibly can be for harvesting the energy from the air is the main focus of wind science now.

Grid tie systems - Our ability to feedback to the grid power what energy we create that we do not need is the future of renewable energy in general. What I mean by that is having a network of wind turbines all over the country will allow us to self-generate power for homes and then, whatever we make in addition to what we need, we can feed back to the grid with a system called the "net meter". What this will allow the utility to do is bill you only for the kilowatt hours that are actually drawn from them-not the ones that you are sending back to them over and above what you have purchased.

Summarizing: the domestic wind turbine that you are likely to get these days is very much like a smaller version of the designs used by utilities and commercial operations and they are taking advantage of the technological advances brought to the home market from R&D work in the commercial utility wind market.
