    Electricity needs for one house
    Sir,
    We are land devlopers & counstructors in india pune,( shakuntala devolopers pvt ltd.)
    We are going to launch a mega project of 100 farm house bunglow on a mountan called mtnippotct.
    We are looking to produce electricity for each bunglow sepratly,
    Please sugest us a wind turbine to produce sufficient electricity for a 1500 sq ft bunglow .
    Regards.

    First, the average load in watts needs to be determined for each home, to determine the KW size of turbine needed. Just knowing the home is 1500 sq ft is irrelevant. The load will be affected whether there is all electric appliances or are some gas or some other energy source. Being wind powered, I would assume all electric. But what size and quantity are these appliances?

    Once the size load of a home is determined, then sizing the turbine is fairly straightforward.

    There are many websites that help size turbines, usually for existing buildings, do a web search for "Sizing Wind Turbine".

    I assume you will have proper engineering support for this project. An electrical engineer or an electrician can help with sizing the load of a home, and turbine manufacturers can help size the turbine, and design the electrical system and electric storage and inverter system.

    I don't think there are any manufacturers representatives on this board. But I will try to help you.

    In the US, the NEC (National Electrical Code) has instructions for estimating the demand for homes. Since not every electrical device is continuously operated, they have demand factor equations. (for example, a person does not operate both the heat plant and the air conditioner at the same time, and you would turn off lights in rooms you are not using.)These estimates are based on what an American family would use, which may not be the same in India.
    The electric utility must also be able to supply peak demand, there are certain seasons and times of day that demand is greater or less.
    Please consult an electrical engineer in your country, and have him calculate the power consumption. Then you will have a better idea what you require.
