🔋 Ridge Wind Turbine, Battery and Night Load: Energy Balance (2D)

Side view of a small ridge-top wind turbine feeding a battery and a household load through the night. Set the mean wind, gust depth, load, battery size, rotor area, effective drag coefficient, braking and rotor mass, and watch the cubic power law, the first-order rotor lag, the battery state of charge and the break-even wind speed. A stepped simulation is checked against the analytic formulas, with four in-page numerical checks.
