DIY Small Home Wind Turbine Generators – Researching the Right Site Location and the Right Tower
Are you getting frustrated with rising energy costs? Have you been thinking about building a small residential wind turbine? You’re not the only one. Given the increased price of conventional power sources, many people are considering the benefits of making their own Wind Generator or turbine. Before embarking on this venture however, there are a few things you should educate yourself about.
Determining how a home turbine works, what you’ll need to build one, and where to get those items from ahead of time will save you money, time and frustration. It is important to make sure you understand the basics of a home Wind Power generating system long before you get started. Familiarizing yourself with the individual components that make up a home Wind Power system will decrease the likelihood that you will lose time and money to problems that could easily have been avoided by doing your homework ahead of time.
One of the first and most important things to consider is where you’re going to build your turbine. Of course you need to have the room on your property, and in addition you need to determine the most optimal spot in terms of being able to capture the largest amount of wind power. Typically this will involve being far enough away from any obstacles that could block wind flow to the turbine. Another important aspect of locating a site for your Wind Generator is that the location must meet the local zoning requirements of your town or municipality. You don’t want to skip checking on zoning rules and end up making a mistake that will cost you money and time. So first, contact your local or state zoning agency and then within those confines determine the optimal site in terms of wind and the features of your available property.
The next thing to consider is the tower that will support your wind turbine. The tower needs to be tall enough to place your turbine in wind that is strong enough to generate sufficient power and the higher you go, the more power you’ll generate. However the higher you go, the stronger your tower will need to be and the greater the cost will be. Remember you want your wind turbine to remain standing even in the face of hurricane force winds. Another reason to limit the height of your tower is that as you go higher the increase in wind power won’t pay off for the increased cost of your tower. The tower can end up being the most expensive part as it the biggest. Thus you can see that it makes good sense do your homework ahead of time. This is true whether you build Your Own and purchase a tower. Keep in mind that if you build Your Own, there may be liability issues so consider this drawback and weigh it against any extra cost of simply buying a manufactured tower.
Getting started on building your own wind turbine system can seem daunting but with proper preparation you can avoid running into trouble by addressing issues such as those discussed above before you begin.
