Wind turbines for home use seem to be limited to 12v systems because of the varying speeds of the blades. AC power requires a constant speed. Also there is a direct relationship between the size (surface area) of the rotor and the amount of energy the turbine can generate. A small house located in a moderate wind area would require a rotor about 14-18 foot in diameter. A vertical shaft turbine could be smaller but you must also consider lock down in a hurricane or really bad storm.
