2. HOW DOES THE WIND TURBINE GENERATE ELECTRICITY?
A wind turbine uses moving wind air to create electricity. Wind traveling across the blades creates lift — like an airplane wing — which drives a generator producing electricity. Electricity generated by the wind turbine is sent to the home (farm, garage, or any other property), where it displaces electricity that would otherwise have been generated by more traditional sources such as coal, oil, nuclear and natural gas and transmitted to you though the grid.
3. HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY DOES THE WIND TURBINE PRODUCE PER MONTH
The three main factors that influence wind turbine power output are: mean wind speed, air density, and blade radius. Wind speed largely determines the amount of electricity generated by a turbine. Higher wind speeds generate more power because stronger winds allow the blades to rotate faster. Faster rotation translates to more mechanical power and more electrical power from the generator. You can find out the mean monthly wind speed in the UK for the period 2002-2021 if you download an Excel spreadsheet from the government site
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1112377/ET_7.2_OCT_22.xlsx
Using these mean wind speeds and the turbine 24V/48V power curve below we can estimate how much electricity does the wind turbine produce per month.
The results are shown in the table below.
Month Wind speed,m/sec Hourly output,Wh Monthly output, kWh
January 5.25 190.00 141.36
February 5.04 182.40 122.57
March 4.84 175.16 130.32
April 4.27 154.53 111.26
May 4.32 156.34 116.32
June 3.96 143.31 103.18
July 3.86 139.69 103.93
August 3.96 143.31 106.62
September 4.17 150.91 108.66
October 4.48 162.13 120.62
November 4.73 171.18 123.25
December 4.94 178.78 133.01
TOTAL 1421.1 kWh/year
Typical electricity usage for a two-bedroom home sits between 2,500 and 3,000 kWh per year. So, 1600W wind turbine is able to generate from 47% to 56% of a typical two-bedroom home per year. Depending of your location and actual wind speeds the actual turbine generation can be lower or higher. If you want to look at the mean wind speeds in your location then

4. ARE THE TURBINE BLADES STRONG?
The Raptor G4 wind turbine blades are made from revolutionary carbon fiber composites (used by the aircraft industry) – The same material used in the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Designed for high speed, high efficiency, affordability and durability.
The Raptor G4 blades can last 75 years in the sun! Made to withstand extreme heat and sub-zero temps, the blades are designed for high speed, high efficiency, affordability and durability. They are rated to withstand 56 m/sec winds and are designed to operate real PMG’s (permanent magnet generators) at high speed in low winds to create the maximum power a PMG can put out. The precision, aerodynamically tapered blades feature a 2.7 m/sec start up speed.
5. WHAT TYPE OF PERMISSION DO I NEED TO INSTALL A WIND TURBINE FOR MY HOME?
Planning permission for wind turbines depends on which region you live in the UK. If you live in England or Scotland, then certain wind turbines are permitted without planning permission, but they require adherence to strict conditions. In England, building-mounted wind systems were relaxed as part of 2011 legislation, but in Scotland you will still require planning permission for this.
Permitted development for wind turbines in England
It is possible to install a wind turbine as a permitted development, although it needs to fulfil all of the following criteria:
A wind turbine mounted on a building:
Need to be detached house and be surrounded by other detached houses in the vicinity
Must comply to the MCS planning standards
One turbine is considered permitted development and the property must not have an air source heat pump installed already. Otherwise you need to ask for planning permission.
Including the blades, no part of the turbine should protrude more than 3 metres above the highest part of the chimney, and the overall height of the house + wind turbine should not exceed 15m.
The distance between the ground and the lowest part of the wind turbine needs to exceed 5m
A minimum of 5m needs to be between your turbine and the boundary of your property.
The swept area of a building mounted wind turbine cannot exceed 3.8m2 what means that a turbine rotor diameter does not exceed 2.2m.
A wind turbine cannot be sited on the roof of a building within the grounds of a listed building.
If you live in a conservation area/world heritage site, you are not allowed to position the turbine on a wall that would make it visible from a highway.
The wind turbine must be removed as soon as practically possible when no longer needed for Microgeneration
Be sited as far as practically possible to limit the impact on amenity of the local area.
The installation must not be sited on safeguarded land.
A wind turbine installed as a stand-alone installation:
Can also be considered as a permitted development if the following criteria are adhered to:
The wind turbine must adhere to the MCS planning standards
The installation must not be sited on safeguarded land.
One turbine is considered permitted development and the property must not have an Air Source Heat Pump installed already. Otherwise you need to ask for planning permission.
The highest part of the wind turbine blade must not exceed 11.1 metres
The distance between the ground and the lowest part of the wind turbine needs to exceed 5m
The turbine’s height + 10% is the distance that the wind turbine needs to be from the boundary of your property.
The swept area of the wind turbine cannot exceed 3.8m what means that a turbine rotor diameter does not exceed 2.2m.
If you live in a conservation area/world heritage site, the closest part of the wind turbine needs to be further away from any highways than the closest part of the house.
Permitted development rights are not applicable for an installation on a listed building or on a building in a conservation area/world heritage site.
The blades cannot be coated in a reflective material.
When no longer needed for Microgeneration, the wind turbines are removed as soon as practically possible.
Permitted development of wind turbines for Scotland
In Scotland a building mounted development requires planning permission, but on the other hand, a standalone development doesn’t, unless it contravenes the following points:
It is not the only wind turbine within this property
It is situated less than 100metres from your next door neighbour
It sits on a world heritage site; is on scientific research land; considerably near a listed building or is near land for archaeological purposes.
You also need to make sure that the developer that is building the wind turbine speaks to the local authority and gets clearance for the size and type of wind turbine being installed.
Permitted development of wind turbines for Wales
Permitted development rights do not apply to wind turbines mounted on a dwelling house or building within the curtilage of the dwelling house. It will be necessary to make an planning application to your local planning authority if you wish to install a building mounted wind turbine.
The installation, alteration or replacement of a stand alone (not building mounted) wind turbine within the boundaries of a dwelling house can be considered to be permitted development, not needing an application for planning permission, provided ALL the limits and conditions listed below are met.
Limits to be met:
Development is permitted only if the stand alone wind turbine installation complies with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme Planning Standards or equivalent standards.
The installation must not be sited on safeguarded land.
Only the first installation of any wind turbine would be permitted development, and only if there is no existing air source heat pump at the property. Additional wind turbines or air source heat pumps at the same property requires an application for planning permission.
The highest part of the stand alone wind turbine must not exceed 11.1 metres.
The distance between ground level and the lowest part of any wind turbine blade must not be less than five metres.
An installation is not permitted if any part of the stand alone wind turbine (including blades) would be in a position which is less than a distance equivalent to the overall height of the turbine (including blades) plus 10 per cent of its height when measured from any point along the property boundary.
The swept area of any stand alone wind turbine blade must be no more than 9.6 square metres what means that a turbine rotor diameter does not exceed 3.5m.
In the case of land within a Conservation Areas the stand alone wind turbine would be installed so that it is visible from a highway which bounds the curtilage of the dwellinghouse.
permitted development rights do not apply to a turbine within the curtilage of a Listed Building or within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a World Heritage Site, or a site of special scientific interest.
In addition, the following conditions must also be met. The wind turbine must:
Use non-reflective materials on blades
Be removed as soon as reasonably practicable when no longer needed for microgeneration
Be sited, so far as is practicable, to minimise its effect on the amenity of the area.
You may wish to discuss with the local planning authority for your area whether all of these limits and conditions will be met. In addition your Local Planning Authority may have Article 4 Directions in place which remove permitted development rights in certain areas. It is therefore the responsibility of the landowner to confirm that permitted development rights do exist and that conditions can be met.
6. WHY DO THE TURBINES NOT SPIN AT TIMES?
The most common reason that turbines stop spinning is because the wind is not blowing fast enough. The RAPTOR G4 wind turbine needs a sustained wind speed of 6 MPH (2.7 m/sec) or higher to operate.
DIGITAL ALL-IN-ONE CHARGE CONTROLLER WITH LED BATTERY VOLTAGE METER
1. WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE CHARGE CONTROLLER?
The Charge Controller is a Hybrid Wind and Solar Diversion Charge Controller to charge a 48V battery bank from the Wind Turbine only or from a combination of the Wind Turbine and Solar Panels array up to 2400W.
2. IS THE CHARGE CONTROLLER OF DIVERSION TYPE?
YES. The Charge Controller monitors the battery bank preventing it from overcharging by adding a dump load to the battery electronically. They require an external load, typically a resistive load bank, which dissipates the excess energy in the form of heat. Optional heating coils are available that can be installed in hot water heaters to dump the excess energy into the tank thereby heating the water. The Charge Controller guarantees keeping your wind turbine under a load and slowed down. The solar panels, if they have been connected, will disconnect. If you need to increase the wattage of the dump load, simply buy another dump load and stack it. Make sure it matches the voltage of the divert load on the Charge Controller.
3. CAN I USE THE CHARGE CONTROLLER WITHOUT A BATTERY BANK TO DRIVE DC LOADS?
NO. Do not operate the Charge Controller without batteries!
4. DO I NEED TO ADJUST THE CHARGE CONTROLLER?
NO. Don’t make adjustments to controller’s programming unless you are experienced or your system requires it. The buttons are located at the bottom of the digital control unit. If yopu need to re-program the Charge Controller then read carefully Missouri Wind and Solar Digital Charge Controller Information and Custom Programming Instructions See also Missouri Wind and Solar’s Digital Charge Controller Programming video on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFaKxd6xyWo&t=243s
WE RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTROLLER’S SETTINGS UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT. WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF THE SETTINGS ARE CHANGED UNECCESSARILY.
5. WHAT BATTERIES CAN BE CHARGED BY THE CHARGE CONTROLLER?
The Charge Controller is compatible with Lead Acid and Deep Charge AGM batteries – cannot be used with Lithium batteries. Battery Status LED lets you know your battery’s actual voltage!
