What kind of wind generator is needed to heat a house of 120 sq.m.

Vladimir asks:
Hello. I want to put a wind generator, but I don’t understand how much w is needed? How many kW should it generate to have 120 m2 for heating a house? I'm going to put a convector for 1000w. A wind generator is only for heating a house. My head is already spinning, tell me please
The answer to the question:
Hello! ConvectorS did you want to write? Not just 1000 watts per 120 m²? Anyway. Calculate the heat loss of the house and the required heating power yourself.

However, I know that there is an opinion that 1 kW per 10 m² will be fine, but if you live somewhere where -30˚ is the normal weather? The power of the wind generator should also be greater than the power of the connected convectors. That is, if you put 12 kW heaters on 120 m², then the power of the wind generator should be not less than this, but more ... At least half, and generally two or three times.

In general, a wind farm for the home, like any other, is made from considerations of the frequency and strength of the winds (I can not quite correctly name the terms). That is, if winds are rare and weak in this area, then installing a wind turbine is unprofitable. If the winds are still relatively frequent, then energy will come only when they blow. You will freeze into the calm. Therefore, energy is stored in batteries. In this case, the power of the wind generator should be such that all the batteries have time to charge in the average time of the duration of the winds of sufficient strength. And already from batteries they feed the energy system of heating, home, city.

I do not dissuade you from the venture, but consider the vibrations and noise that accompany the operation of a wind farm. And note I’m already silent about where to dump energy at idle and how to slow down the wind generator in case of excessive wind (in a storm).
