I am setting up a wind turbine system that only has a 400w wind turbine. I am going to make it a tie in and will not have a battery system to save power. Do i need a charge controller or is only having the power inverter enough
yes i meant a grid tie in.

so i would need to contact my electric company then and ask them what they supply and what i should purchase myself?

Do you mean grid tie?

Inverters work with a fixed DC voltage like 12 or 24 volts. The output of your generator will be varying with wind speed, so you need something in between to adjust the voltage driving the inverter.

You also need something to adjust the inverter frequency, phase, and amplitude to synchronize it with the power companies power line. Usually the power company supplies or specifies this, as well as the inverter.

If you are looking for some complete DIY wind power plans to learn how to build DIY wind generators, here they are. Watch the video and click the link above to learn more.

You can learn how to build a powerful, efficient and well engineered turbine with the guide at the link above which is also inexpensive to build. As I said in the video, you can build one for as little as $150 (thats the best I’ve done, anyway).

The turbines made from this guide are strong and can handle powerful gusts of wind, and also produce relatively large amounts of power from slow winds.

You can’t buy equivalent turbines in stores for less than $700 or so. So check it out now at the link above and get your guide and start building diy wind turbines! You can totally forget about your power bill and you’ll also be helping the environment.

Im not sure where Jim is getting his information, but a nice size wind turbine for a residence such as a Skystream 3.7 is about $7000 for the turbine and 3 to 5 grand for the monopole, depending on the height that it will be mounted. Then you have to consider the cost of pouring a proper concrete foundation, which could be another 2 grand and then another few hundred for the electrical interconnection and burying the wire to the box.

Now you can save on the pole costs and foundation costs by getting a guyed pole system which uses a series of wires connected to augers in a triangular formation around the center pole. But with this type of system you will need allot more land.

Anyway way you look at it Wind is still a very cost effective way to offset your electricity bills, but you will need a few years before you realize any paybacks from the system.

The secure and constant provision of power anywhere and at anytime by renewable energies is now made possible thanks to the Combined Power Plant. The Combined Power Plant links and controls 36 wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations spread throughout Germany. It is just as reliable and powerful as a conventional large-scale power station.

The Combined Renewable Energy Power Plant shows how, through joint control of small and decentralised plants, it is possible to provide reliable electricity in accordance with needs. The Combined Power Plant optimally combines the advantages of various renewable energy sources. Wind turbines and solar modules help generate electricity in accordance with how much wind and sun is available. Biogas and hydropower are used to make up the difference: they are converted into electricity as needed in order to balance out short-term fluctuations, or are temporarily stored. Technically, there is nothing preventing us from 100 per cent provision with renewables.

The Combined Power Plant is an initiative of the companies Enercon GmbH, Schmack Biogas AG and SolarWorld AG, and is supported by many partners from the renewable energy sector.

Windterra’s Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is designed to operate in micro-winds as low as 3 metres/second (10.8 km/h, 6.7 mph) and can withstand winds as strong as 53 m/s (190 km/h, 118 mph). The optimal output of 1 kW is reached in wind speeds of 11-12 m/s (39 - 43 km/h, 24.6 - 26.8 mph).
