Hi! A small wind turbine for your house is a great investment and if you do it right you will laugh at your energy bill... 
I wish to build windmill for power generation. Where can I buy a wind turbine?
My power requirment is 2 KV.
For a small 12volt system, your best bet is any of the major marine equipemtn suppliers like west marine, boatUS or defender. 2KV is not a power requirements, but a voltage specification. I think you mean 2KW or 2 kilowatts… For a 2KW reliable output, you need maybe a 20KW peak system ….. the wind doesn't blow most of the time. That's a pretty big wind system for a homeowner -you're talking about large diameter systems, maybe 20' diameter and a very substantial mounting, etc. Figure about $150,000. for a realistic system. There will also be substantial hassles getting zoning approval and a building permit for a large system. Forget about a do-it-yourself setup using cheap automotive parts and home made propellers.. we're talking concrete footings and substantial construction expenses. Unless you live in Cape Hataras, the likelihood is that the system will never pay for itself, as large wind generators need substantial, regular maintenance. Things like bearings and control electronics have finite lifetimes and cannot be skimped on. For realistic power generation, photovoltaic panels make more sense, and only with a substantial government subsidy. For off-the-grid power generation, nothing beats a water-cooled diesel generator for reliability and cost per kilowatt…. even at $4 a gallon diesel.

Wind turbine power is usually expressed in watts, which is volts times amps. The US uses 60 amp current, so that would mean you need a 120 kw wind turbine. That would be quite a large turbine– and about 6 times more power than even energy-hogging households are likely to need. If you mean, instead, that you need a 2 kw wind turbine, there are a number of suppliers that offer wind turbines of that size. I've listed them in the source box. There is also a list of large wind turbine suppliers who sell 120 or greater kw wind turbines. You also might want to take a look at the articles on wind turbines in the Green Home Projects blog. The url for that is also in the resource box.
Whatever size you are interested in, do make sure to check both regulations and subsidies in your locality. Some states allow you to connect to the power grid so that you can sell any excess power you produce back to the electric company.

Let me start off by saying we (Agua-Luna) are a non-profit organization that live, promote & teach 100% “off grid” living & complete self sufficiency”. To give you an idea of this, we typically don’t leave the Ranch but once or twice a year.
The following steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their homes on solar power, reducing their monthly utility bills or even selling power back the electrical companies. The entire guide is available at http://www.agua-luna.com/diy_guides.html It’s pretty simple but if you have any problems feel free to email us directly at info@agua-luna.com we can walk you threw the process.

Electricity from the wind is one of the simplest forms of alternative energy. I’ve personally built over a dozen wind gens & currently run 50% of our electrical needs off of wind & the rest off solar.
Basically think of the little motor in your car (the alternator), but instead of it being turned by a belt driven by your car's engine powered gas, it's turned by the wind.

"This manual is based on using a 260 VDC, 5 A continuous duty Treadmill Motor with a 6 inch threaded hub. These motors are available for under $50 from most motor surplus stores. We are getting about 7 amps in a 30 mph wind. In other words, it is a simple, cheap little machine to get you started. "
"ASSEMBLY
1.Place the motor on top of the square tubing & bolt it in, using the two 5/16” x ¾” bolts.
2.Place the diode on the square tubing, about 2” behind the motor, & screw it into position using the self-tapping metal screw.
3.Connect the black wire coming out of the motor to the positive incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the positive side).
4.Connect the red wire coming out of the motor to the negative incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the negative side).
5.Center the tail over the square tubing, at the back end. Clamp your tail onto the side of the square tubing.
6.Using 2 self-tapping screws, screw the tail in place.
7.Place each blade on the hub so that all the holes line up. Using the ¼" bolts & washers, bolt the blades to the hub. For the inner three holes, use two washers per bolt, one on each side of the blade. For the outer three holes, just use one washer next to the head of the bolt. Tighten.
8.Hold the end of the shaft of the motor (which comes through the hub) firmly with pliers, & turn the hub counterclockwise until it tightens & stops.
9.Screw the nipple tightly into the floor flange using a pipe wrench.
10.Clamp the nipple in a vice so that the floor flange is facing up & level.
11.Place the square tubing (and everything that is on it) on top of the floor flange & move it so that it is perfectly balanced.
12.Through the holes of the floor flange, mark the square tubing at the point of balance.
13.Drill these two holes using a 5/32" drill bit. You will probably have to take off the hub & tail to do this).
14.Attach the square tubing to the floor flange with two sheet metal screws.
For a longer life span of your wind generator, you should paint the blades, motor sleeve, mount & tail."
Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online & on-site workshops, seminars & internships to help others help the environment.

THEY ARE DEVELOPERS OF WIND POWER ITS A GREAT IDEA
go to any alternative energy outfit.
in ontario, they give credits for electricity you don't use. if you have the bread keep the fatcats out.
