- Storing electricity from wind turbine directly into a battery
Hello,
This is an enquiry about the wind turbine electricity and battery storage. I am framing it based on my limited understanding. Please advise me.
I intend to install and capture the wind energy through a small wind turbine at my home. The turbine shaft will be directly connected to the alternator (AC generator). As the alternator produces electricity, as and when, and at variable rates, it will be directly channelled (electricity) to a battery storage;instead of supplying to the grid. The battery will be subsequently used to power home appliances.
Can it be done? There will be no gearboxes/speed governor etc. to ensure a specific frequency. (There will probably be an AC to DC converter needed). Will this simple set-up work without failing?
Many thanks in advance
