            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;I think you will find that the electrical side is much less of a problem than the design and construction of the turbine. There is a good introduction to that side at&lt;br&gt;

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;You need to ask yourself some major questions as the first step.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
1. what power level output do you want when the wind is blowing?&lt;br&gt;
2. what percent of the time do you have sufficient wind?&lt;br&gt;
3. Do you want a grid tie system so you can sell power back to the power company?&lt;br&gt;
4. How much storage do you want (batteries)?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
#3 is important as it controls the answers to #1 and #4. With a grid tie system you only need a small battery. Plus the system will take care of switching your house wiring between power company when there is no wind, and turbine output when there is wind. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Or do you plan on a separate set of outlets through the house so you can unplug from mains power and plug into wind power? that seems expensive and complicated.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
#1 is important as it sets the size of the turbine as well as all of the associated electronics. If you are selling back to the power company, you want this number to be as big as it can be, as that makes more money for you. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
#2 also is important in setting sizes.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
