Hey Matt and all,

While I think this is a very important issue, it is also way complex.
For instance, I would imagine there may be different interactions
between a grid-tied wind generator and a battery based one, and in a
battery based system there may exist variations due to state-of-charge,
general condition and size of the battery, as well as load diversion
complexities.  Ambient air temperature is another biggie.  Plus each
site comes with its own topographical situations that can have a big
impact on such comparisons.  

I'm thinking the machines would need to be set up at the exact same site
and under the exact same conditions to get any truly valuable
comparisons.
