The Wind Energy Reddit
Wind Energy is the use of wind to provide the mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators and traditionally to do other work, like milling or pumping. Wind power is a sustainable and renewable energy, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels.Wikipedia: Wind Power

Tesla is a world leader in EV’s, industrial size Megapack battery systems for wind farms and grid storage and is also becoming a leader with Powerwall domestic battery systems and solar panels.
But why do you think Tesla invested in the construction of Tesla Wind Turbines and Wind Farms?
I’d like to see Tesla build a large wind farm near the site of all or most of their Gigafactories, as well as other large Wind Farms to help generate the additional electricity that will be needed for millions of additional EV’s worldwide.

I live in a vineyard house in a remote location with a 12x 455W off-grid solar system and 4x 12V 200AH deep-cycle gel batteries (connected in series for 48V, total 9600Wh capacity). While this setup meets my current needs, the area is extremely windy, and I'm considering adding a small wind turbine to support my batteries.
I'm looking for a turbine that could generate 150-300W during windy periods. This would help keep my batteries near full charge at night, which is ideal since my main power draws are just a PC and a fridge.
My current plan is to connect a wind turbine to a small 48V charge controller and then directly to my battery array. I can install the turbine at a height of 10-15 meters without any issues.
My questions are:
Any advice or experiences from those who have implemented similar hybrid systems would be greatly appreciated!
I live near a huge (15 mi x 15 mi at least) wind farm in Northwest Illinois. For the first time I've ever seen all of the wind turbines are stopped cold. Could this be part of the Crowdstrike outage?
Hello people, I am currently a highschool student ad I decided to do a research paper on which angle of attack of wind turbine is the most efficient for electricity output. I search the internet but I could not find any concrete information. I even constructed a small version of wind turbine but I do not know how reliable it is. Could you please help me with this question?
Hello everyone, I am pretty new to wind turbines word, so I'm here seeking for some suggestion.
Thanks everyone!
I mean, it makes sense considering that permanent magnets wear out over time and our neodymium and praseodymium supplies are hard to come by. Why not?
What do I do with 3 red wires? How do I know which is which?
Is there a wind energy for dummies video or site?
Is there an equivalent charge controller for wind as there is for solar?
Thanks
Thought I’d share this lovely image with you all! Enjoy!
I’m looking to get more training on the planning/communications side of offshore wind. I’ve been working in communications in related fields but want to move more toward renewable energy, specifically offshore wind.
Would anyone recommend a certificate program or professional training? I need something that can be done online.
Hey everyone!
I'm a young wind energy engineer from Brazil and I'm looking to expand my knowledge on sensors. Could anybody recommend a book or articles on The subject, from a technical and theoretical point of view?
Much appreciated.
