very lost on how to work this one out:
'A rural household uses 4.0kwh electrical energy per day. To utilize wind power they need to store energy which will then be used to drive an electric generator. They are planning to use water pumped to a high tank for energy storage. How much water should they have stored to produce 2 days supply, if the water is stored at a height of 12m above the turbine? Remember that the generator is not perfectly efficient, so include a typical efficiency for a small (e.g. 1.5kW) generator'.
not sure how to calculate as my lecture notes and text don't have any examples to follow (handy...right?!)...PLEASE HELP!
