You could even modulate the duty and allow even light winds to produce (limited) heating.(For this option I suspect that you will need completely separate refrigerant circuits for each compressor in order to maximise the part load efficiency).

BTW, where about are you based?

The real beauty is you can let the blades spin up with a fly wheel then engage the clutch so start up is of no issue.
