My new wind turbine design is rated at 10kw, stand alone+battery charging

essential. Facing north, northeast into the ocean is ideal. I performed
numerous testing at cabarete, sosua and playa grande with favorable
results and good wind speed. Hill tops also suitable.
I like to hear from DR residents any comments about the power solution
using wind power. Thank you.
So "georgios"... you have my undivided attention. Is there anything new you'd like to share?
I especially like your idea of storing energy mechanically (versus batteries). I have been calculating a system using two water reservoirs... one on ground or under ground and one at altitude and use the gravity of the water pumped up at times of high energy production to produce energy at times of no wind. Needless to say that we'd be looking at huge masses of water and/or hights. thus I'd love to hear more about your idea of compressing and decompressing a gaz.
I think that a home with no grid hook up should be able to be serviced by 5 kW/h at any time and for an unrestricted time period to make the system appealing not just to limited aplications... keep in mind this is an AC region.

... J-D.
