I am going to make my own wind turbine, as there is some wind where I live 24/7, to run my 3 PC's and the fridge and freezer. The fridge and freezer are on 24/7 with a combined load of 0.21KW/Hrs. 1 PC will be on around 12 hrs./day at 0.45KW/Hrs. The other 2 PC's will be on on/off during the day at 0.43 KW/Hrs. If all of these were on at the same time the total load would be 1.09 KW/Hrs. for around 12 hrs. a day. Assuming that the wind turbine charges the battery pack to 100% overnight.
- How many watts would the wind turbine need to generate?
- What size battery pack should I use, assuming I use lead-acid batteries?
- I am a mechanical engineer, so this electric bit is new to me. Thank you in advance
