Exactly How Wind Turbine Kit Electric Battery Need To Have To Change

Wind turbine kits are probably the best thing in the renewable energy world we have going right now

. Windmills when combined with solar power, can be the ultimate way to cut your power costs at home.

The problem is finding an application around your house that requires power on the same schedule as your wind blows and the sun shines during the day. Most anywhere in the country wind and sun can be unpredictable at best.

You either need a place for the electricity to be used right away or you need to store it in some type of battery system. Without a well thought through energy storage plan in place, it will be quite difficult to have a renewable energy system at home of any kind that does much good.

First, you need to size your requirements. The average home in the United States uses approximately 11,000 kWh a year. That means, with 8,760 hours in a year, the average demand on your home system will be approximately 2 kW.

However, that is the average and we know our homes are never operating "at average". Instead they are running at peak from time to time and that can be almost double what the average demand is your home. So, you need to be careful and strategic about making sure that whatever appliance or device you're going to run with the power you make from your wind turbine kit, it is supplied with enough to take care of the peak either for the appliance, or for your entire home for that matter.

The batteries used in conjunction with renewable energy technologies are behemoths now. They take up a lot of space. Depending on the size of your wind turbine and what you are trying to accomplish with it, they can take up all the square footage in your basement.

As lithium ion batteries continue to progress, these storage technologies are tending toward miniaturization, just like everything else electronic. The smaller and more compact efficient battery storage becomes, the easier it will be to make use of renewable power generation.

Battery power is the key to our energy future. These renewable energy sources, like wind turbine kits, tend to be intermittent forms of energy. And, their success will be dependent upon us being able to figure out a way to store the energy when it is available. Picking up all these little scraps of power production from various sources will add up to a lot when we're in a post fossil fuels world.

We've gotten spoiled in the thinking that all of our power should be available in whatever quantity we want when we want it. Without adequate battery storage capacity, that is a very unlikely thing to continue in the post fossil fuel world.
