Has Ed given you the TSR under load and enough to figure the amount of mechanical power available from the cross-section you plan to build?  Those two - plus a guesstimate of your local wind speed distribution - are all you need to to design a matching alternator.

(You can do adequately with just the TSR and a wild guess at the power, such as "about 2/3 the power of a HAWT of the same cross-section" - which might be low if Ed's design is better than the improved Savonius types.)
