How much does a big wind turbine cost to build?
admin answers:
Nuclear power plant: $10-20B billion
Large wind turbine: $2-5 million.
In terms of the cost per kW, wind is cheaper. Recent estimates for nuclear put capital costs over $5000 per kW. Wind tends to be less than $3000 per kW.

Wind Mill Power
For hundreds of years, communities have used wind mill power to meet their energy needs. From the simple vertical axle windmills of ancient Persia to the modern electricity generators of contemporary communities, the use of wind mills is constantly evolving. Today, the term wind mill power is commonly used in reference to grinders and pumps, while the term wind turbine is commonly used for the wind mill power that generates electricity. Nonetheless, wind turbines are a modern design of the wind mill, although the term is a bit antiquated.
The first use of wind mill power dates to early writings of the seventh century, though the date of the anecdote is debatable. Nonetheless, the earliest wind mills used six to twelve sails of reed or cloth material. The power was used to grind corn or pump water. By the twelfth century, wind mill power and aesthetics were evolving in Europe. During the thirteenth century, the Chinese used the wind mill power to irrigate crops. The bases of the wind mills were becoming smaller and rounder, and communities were broadening the uses of wind energy. Although the technology was still rudimentary, the pumps and grinds were being used for various goods. The types of wind mills and the uses of the wind mill power vary greatly throughout the generations and regions.
Today, wind mill power is best used to generate electricity. This contemporary design of wind mill power is called wind turbines or wind generators. Wind mills, or wind turbines, are increasing in quantity and use around the globe. In 2007, the United States increased its wind energy generation by 45%. The estimates for 2008 appear the same. Environmental concerns and panic regarding the depletion of fossil fuels leads to regained interest in wind energy. Theoretically, the United States can generate enough wind energy to meet the energy demands of the entire nation. The area of the United States with the most potential for wind energy generation is the Midwest, and wind energy companies are currently developing wind farms in the area.
Although wind mill power is an ancient concept, the modern applications of the design can be extremely beneficial to current civilizations. The economic and environmental benefits of modernizing the old-fashioned wind mills are highly practical. Interest in wind power is increasing due to the unfortunate circumstances regarding the depletion of fossil fuels and the rising public awareness of environmental issues. The concerns regarding the economy and the individual need for cost efficiency is creating a huge market for wind energy and wind mill power.

How hard is it to build a wind turbine for home?
For a 5 month project at school I have to build a wind turbine for my home. How many hours will it take, will I get an efficent gadget, and how much will it cost? I’m thinking of getting help from a small wind turbine manufacturer. And I would just like to say my motor skills are very poor and I am not used to building things. Can I do it?
admin answers:
You can get kits.
However you need permission of your zoning board before you can do this, if it is any size at all.
But you can get small 1-2 ft kits. First reference is a 12″ one, but a toy, for $40. Second one is a 46″ 400 watt one that looks real and has a generator. You still need a battery and inverter. $630.

Ruth asks…
How are different AC generators linked in a power grid?
I’ve often wondered this. When you have two or more AC generators (say two different power plants) produce power, it seems like it would be impossible to be sure the two are in phase with each other. So how can the two be linked into a power grid? Is the same technique used when hooking up a home generator (from a wind turbine, for example) to supply the grid?
admin answers:
No. It’s actually rather simple to keep them running synchronously on the power grid. All it takes is a simple phase comparator and a feedback control system to regulate the generator.

Residential Wind Power
Wind energy conversion is steadily proliferating as the average cost of energy increases. As more individuals are becoming environmentally aware, clean alternative energy sources that are cost-efficient are being sought at an extremely high rate. The use of residential wind power is exploding exponentially as individuals and builders are discovering the many benefits of generating their own electricity with wind power generators.
Residential wind power is relatively easy to understand. Basically, a wind turbine is installed on a tall tower. This turbine converts wind energy into electricity that is compatible with a residential electrical system. The wind energy is used in conjunction with power purchased from the local utility company. When wind speeds are conducive to energy production, energy is produced and stored. This energy is used for the home and the excess energy is automatically purchased by the local utility company. In situations when wind speeds are not conducive to significant amounts of energy production, wind energy is used in conjunction with purchased electricity. In some cases, wind speeds are too low to convert into electricity. In this scenario, the purchased energy is used.
Typically, residential wind power systems can save homeowners between fifty and ninety percent of their total electric bills. Individual savings are highly dependent on local conditions. Location of turbines and wind speed are highly variable factors that contribute to the energy conversion. Homeowners in unobstructed areas with high wind speeds can even make a profit on their residential wind power systems. Simply put, if the energy produced is greater than the energy used, homeowners generate a profit from the excess energy that will be bought by the local utility company.
Homeowners interested in residential wind power systems will need to do some research to determine the size of turbine needed for their specific home. In most cases, however, it is not economically justifiable for the homeowners to conduct the timely and exact wind measurements. Luckily, the US Department of Energy can provide sufficient estimates for expected wind performance. It is always advisable to consult with local authorities to ensure the rules and regulations for construction and maintenance are being met.
The initial investment for residential wind power systems can be several thousand dollars. Although this may seem pricey, the long term economic benefits of residential wind power production significantly counterbalance the initial investment. For the greatest savings, interested persons can choose to purchase the wind generator kits directly from the factories and assemble the systems themselves. Homeowners with a little time, patience, and knowledge will find residential wind power to be cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Where can I find an app. for a federal grant?
I’m part of my school’s Key Club. in Northeast Oklahoma. I’m looking for an application to receive a federal grant to help pay, mostly, for a wind turbine we want to purchase for the school. If you know of where to get an app. for solar panels, hot water heaters, wind turbines, or recycling bins, please let me know! Just in case, the grant needs to be for a school.
admin answers:
Good luck with that. Be sure you ask for enough to cover the EPA studies you will require. A lot of alternative energy projects have been sunk because they can’t afford to do the studies on the impact on fish, fowl or other wildlife, even when they are trying to work on existing sites. Here in SC we have hundreds of old Mill Dams. They already exist, nothing new is being built. But nothing can be done with them because the costs of the studies are so ridiculously high.
