Wood Gardening Station
Can I build a log home's electricity generating plant in the garden?
I have unlimited supply of wood. The excess heat to be used to heat the house and pool. electicity to be sold over the network. Does the capital cost is prohibitive? Operating costs are not a problem. There is a turbine commercial market. My ability to burn is determined by the cost of a man and a JCB to load a commercial incinerator. I would exect a grand entrance in this DIY project. I I know that planning permission may be required
Its difficult to give a complete answer here. Firstly we must say, however, you construct your project will be extremely difficult to do it green. The reason is that the amount of carbon they release will be huge compared with the amount released by a commercial plant producing the same amount of electricity. So from the point of view, you looked at the price you receive from the buyer? I suppose you are in the UK. If you look to sell to the "grid" you may find that the price is very low even. The value you might have to depend on when you generated, or you were just at peak times, if you produce electricity only once in a while, which is the most likely case that I hope that the amount that would be paid does not cover the cost of diesel to power your charger and wages of men. First, check what you could have paid for power you produce and where it is produced. (Would most likely be very little) is not legitimate to look at what you are charged with electricity. So your best plan, I believe, is to generate enough electricity for themselves and forget to export. The problem with this principle is that you have to have your power station going 24 / 7. That's a lot of work. What you could do is build a system of mini-hydropower. This is done very little, but it is very green. The drawback is that you need two water ponds enomous separated in time by about 10 feet (min). You have a water wheel that works 24 / 7 to produce its electricity. This is powered by running water from your pond from top to bottom. Now, once a day you need to pump water from the bottom tank to the top. You can do this with very simple steam elevator system. Anyone with basic engineering skills could build this system. If you could make their ponds big enough you can run your wood / steam powered elevator system less frequently. BTW the sun is the best way to heat your pool. Very cheap effective systems already available. DIY systems can not compete here. solar or wind can also be used to pump water from the upper pool. This method means that you release the cells that are only 70% effective and not green. They are expensive and need to be replaced every five years doing small projects using batteries. . Micro-Hydro is the way to go. you will not find much on the web. You are invited to send me if you want to know more. I know you will be disappointed at not being able to sell their power, but the cost of equipment compared with the recovery time would make it a bad plan. (As I say that also would be very un eco freindly) Good luck with whatever you try.
