Jerry posted this in another post. I thought it may have merit and wondered what others here thought (he didn't get an answer as it was OT):
"...I would build 2 matching wind gennies. I would use two 6-volt golf cart batteries. Each gen would charge a 6-volt battery. I'd wire the batteries in series for 12V..."
In a perfect world, when I retire I'll have many acres where I'm allowed to have a 60'-80' tower, and I have fairly strong and steady winds for a large 48V wind-gen.
I'm still learning, but it seems one of the most common complaints is poor low winds where its hard to get cut-in for a 48V wind-gen.
Is there any benefit to having two battery packs, each with two 24V sections. While one 2 X 24V pack is charging (off a 24V wind-gen or solar PV), the other 2 X 24V pack is powering the 48V inverter.
I realize this requires frequent manual switching, but if someone had winds that had difficulty getting much 48V, could I get more Watts for the extra trouble?
