You built this all yourself? You should sell plans
-
do you get a credit from your electric company? if so how much and who are you with?
-
5KW?
-
@ThePowerExcess See above. A Beckwith 3410-A is used to monitor the status of the grid and the output of the turbine. Anything abnormal opens the circuit and shuts the Turbine down.

@turtlemann14 This is called islanding. I think that his electronics should take care of that. In Greece that's how it works. Your electronics have to be able to shut down as soon as they see that the grid is off. There is a time limit (a few ns i think).

@tguidic Any infromation on how you control your voltage would be very appreciated.

how did you nearly amputate your finger?
did you have to inform the power company that you are generating so that if they were to shut down the power for service a guy doesn't get zapped?

@turtlemann14 Nearly lost the finger with a planer that I used to cut the profile into the blades. As for the power company, I had to inform them, install a grid intertie monitor (Beckwith 3410-A) to monitor over/under voltage and frequency. I the event of a grid failure or abnormality, the beckwith opens the circuit to the turbine - shutting it down.

Well done - did you do all the electronics and software yourself?
I'm also impressed with the tower!

@pennyandian The control system consists of a PLC that I programmed to monitor the turbine rotation speed, wind speed, power output, etc., in tandem with a Beckwith 3410-A to monitor the grid status and power quality. I now have a touch panel that pulls data from the PLC, logs it, allows for remote operation (even over the Internet) and email status messages. Works very well and uses all off of the shelf components.

@pennyandian Forgot to mention the tower - It was quite an undertaking and responsible for the bulk of the expense associated with the Turbine. However, I am glad that I opted for the extra height. Besides looking really cool at Christmas when adorned with lights, it really makes a difference in the power output of the Turbine and often makes the difference between generating power or not on calmer days.
