A simulation analysis is presented of domestic heating by a wind power system including storage at a location 54°39′ N, 6°13′ W (Aldergrove, Northern Ireland). A simple theoretical model is constructed comprising a house of specified dimensions and heat loss characteristics, an aerogenerator and a thermal store. the data base used is a magnetic tape of hourly wind speed and air temperature readings taken at Aldergrove meteorological station during 1949–75. the results suggest a measure of optimization between store capacity and generator rating based on technical considerations alone, and a simple economic optimization is also presented.
