I want to install a wind mill that can generate 300-500 W for providing supply to my home and i don't know any company that installs such small wind mills so, i want to design/assemble and install it by self.
what are component that will be used in designing/assembling a wind mill and what will be expected cost of design & installation. In which part i need to focus more during design/assembling.
If possible, Please provide the name of companies who install small wind power system (in India) which will be used for house supply.
Anurag,
This is too broad of a question,..
If you are only starting with wind energy, I recommend the following short book:
https://www.amazon.com/Wind-Energy-Basics-Community-Wind-Energy/dp/1603580301
Although some dismiss Paul Gipe as a serious wind energy expert, I consider him a must read reference for the basics of wind energy. I use his books in my wind power course.
Best,
Larry
Dear Anurag,
First of all you need to calculate how much energy is needed in your house for day. this will vary from day to day but take the maximum. Then you have to find the average wind speed in your area.then you can start designing the wind mill . u can start by calculating the ratings of the generator you need and then go for the size of the wind mill to run that generator with the speed of the wind in your locality.
hope this gives u a start..
Hi Anurag,
Below link will be useful to you which explain about the installation and maintanence of small WECS

I recommend that you perform a simple "scale down" using the Power Law methodology to estimate the blade length of the wind mill for a small power output (300 - 500 Watts) based the known dimensions of the wind turbine that generates 2MW or 1 KW and so forth.
In summary start with the dimensions of a bigger wind mill and scale down to meet your design.
Hope this helps answer your question.
