Preheating by wind
published: 13/11/12, 17:53
Hello,
Not sure to be in the right place but I try the same. I need advice for a project.
Small description:
We want to preheat the heating water tank with a wind turbine. The current heating is gas and we want to reduce the consumption as much as possible.
The type of wind turbine is not badly decided but it remains to define the electrical part is equipment, storage (if necessary), transport and security.
The first question that gets me stuck is: can a direct current, produced in an irregular way (vs wind) can be transformed directly into thermal energy with a heating element which works normally on the 220 or else does it take a particular heating element? If so, where can we find that. The house is located in Saint-Denis d'Anjou, between Angers and Sablé sur Sarthe. We would like to avoid having to use Inverter / regulator for questions of performance and therefore costs.
Your ideas, comments, rants are welcome
Thank you
