Batteries and Turbines

[pembsflyer]

Is anybody using batteries with excess generated power from a wind turbine? I was told the tech is not there atm with the variable power output.
Any information would be gratefully received

Possibly the inverters, converters, AC/DC 12/24 Volt ,Battery prices and set up costs too?
Some dump excess into heat stores like an immersion heater in a hot water cylinder or electric storage heaters possibly.

Not sure what you mean

We have a water heat store. we are receiving RHI and so all heating should go through heat pumps.

The issue with pv nd batteries are obvious with power beeing generated in the day but being needed at night is both obvious and a relatively small battery can be shown to be efficient .
however a turbine will spin for days and then stay quiet for a few and a battery needs to be far larger to be sny rel benefit.
however the benefits for even solar are not proven

Sunsynk 3.6kw Inverter will take solar,wind and batteries (G98)

Think that has now been solved with the likes of a Nissan Leaf and the V2H technology. Will know more shortly as I am in the process of linking solar and hydro with the V2H technology.

I am hoping that VAG can solve this one too, they announced last year that they will have it by the end of this year , but have heard no more. I have a car on order in anticipation, fingers crossed

What is the type of electric connection on the car you have ordered. The original battery on the Leaf was very small but should still be able to give 3 days supply on our electric usage. Worse case scenario it could be replaced with a newer bigger battery.

We are hoping to get a V2G. The vehicle is a year away yet and we have the option ton cancel till 6 weeks before delivery

What's that?

V2G is a battery to grid connection for electric vehicles. So far only Nissan have this capability.
For many people with solar or just using off peak electricity they can utilise space in the vehicle battery if say they only regularly do 30-40 miles but have capacity for 300 it makes a lot sense to utilise this for running your house on spare capacity in the solar or storing off peak etc.

Google V2G perhaps add in Volkswagen.

This is what I am looking at but with a view to being V2H rather than V2G. At the moment the connection is only suitable for Nissan and I think Mitsubishi but the version 2 does CSS connections which will include the Volkswagen.

Please keep us up to date. I'm very interested in this, particularly if they can be 'told' when to charge in conjunction with other energy storage devices (immersions controlled off export meter).

Battery on the car is far bigger than daily usage. Even with the smallest Nissan Leaf battery is more than 3 days of my normal house daily usage.

Yes all the charging and discharging can be controlled by the mobile phone app.

I would like to send it messages (serial etc) on when & how hard to charge. Not exactly off the shelf, but importing power must be avoided at all costs. Plenty of spare export.

Most people will be buying a car with the expectation of making occasional long journeys and regular short. Obviously this does not include professional drivers.
I have a pattern of car use which which each week on average we do do a max of 50 miles a day. 1 day we do up to 100 at least once a month I will do 150+ in a day and not irregularly 250+
So with an 80+ kwh battery good for 280-300 miles
I have a lot of space for storing power and releasing, yet leaving half the battery for regular work
