If you heed the news about global warming, climate change, and down economy, it’s easy to become affected and start thinking for ways you can participate in saving the planet while helping yourself in doing so. And, one way to help the planet while saving some money in return is to reduce your dependency on carbon-fuel-generated electricity. A single-home-design windmill generator or wind turbine generator is a good option to generate your own sustainable electric energy for home use right in your own backyard. The output of one windmill generator depends on the diameter of the blade and the average velocity of the wind in your area. To compute your annual output the formula is KWH/year = 0.01328 (D^2) (V^3) where D is the diameter squared and V is the average wind velocity cubed. With this formula, you can determine how much electricity you can generate in your area and electric bill savings you can make with the size of the windmill generator you have. Don’t worry if your area receives moderate wind gust annually because a properly built wind turbine is able to generate enough electricity. To maximize the potential of your wind turbine generator, use a high standard battery to store the electricity generated while you’re not using it. During the day when you all go out for work, the windmill generator continuously generates electricity which is stored straight to the battery available for later use. Wind turbines do not produce pollution to generate electricity; thus, you are saving the environment when you use wind turbines to generate power for home use. You’re not just slashing your electric bill as much as 60 to 80 percent depending on your area and your windmill generator you’re also doing your share to save the planet. In some states, you could even get sustainable energy tax credit for installing a windmill generator in your property. Installing another form of sustainable energy generation device for home use like solar panels can even completely substitute your electricity from the grid with some excess. You can sell your excess electricity to your local utility because they are mandated by law to pay citizens who are contributing power to the grid. Imagine a reversal: instead of you paying your monthly electric bill to your local power utility, your local utility now pays you some amount every month instead. Investing on sustainable energy such as a windmill generator is really advantageous in the long-run both for you and the planet. Even more so now that the cost of installing sustainable energy generation devices is decreasing because of technology advancement and the huge stimulus package amount invested on sustainable energy. |
