Building a Wind Turbine System

Going "backwards":

A rectifier is 1, 2, 4, or 6 diodes (typically) that are connected in a "bridge" circuit. The do what you understand. They convert AC power to DC power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

And we usually use an AC inverter to take DC power (usually 12/24/48 VDC) and convert it to higher voltage AC power (for North America, typically 120, 120/240 VAC @ 60 Hz).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

There are different methods to make rectifiers--Typically for higher power applications. In engineering, there are typically multiple ways to solve a problem.
 
Wind Turbines typically use a three phase alternator (think of a version of a car alternator). The output is 3 Phase AC current/power, and to charge a DC battery bank, we need a rectifier to convert from 3 phase AC to DC.

In general, solar panels and wind turbines/alternators use different methods to control battery charging.

Solar panels can be "turned on and off" without issue. So a "series" type charge controller is used. Whether PWM (pulse width modulated--Just a "fast" on/off switch) or MPPT (maximum power point tracking--Technically usually a buck mode switching power supply controlled by on on-board computer--Which allows for efficient of high voltage * low current from array to low voltage * high current needed to charge the battery bank).

Wind (and water) Turbines (we are talking about HAWT--Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines)--These types of turbine can over-speed in moderate to high wind speeds unless there is a constant load (such as torque from the alternator sending energy to battery bank and DC loads). So typically, these turbines => rectifier => battery bus are direct connected. And battery bus => dump controller to bleed off uneeded energy into a load bank (or other power needs).

Now--There are many, perfectly valid, configurations that do turbine connections differently. For example  Turbine/Alternator => MPPT charge controller => battery bank => integrated dump controller/mechanical controllers for turbine such as furling).

The MPPT controller can dramatically increase energy harvest (especially in heavy winds). Here is a very sophisticated integrated wind turbine / dump load MPPT controller system:

Add an MPPT cotroller configured for a Wind Turbine--And you have a nice system.

I am not saying this is "the solution" for you or it is even cost effective for your needs. Just showing how different engineers solar similar problems.

There are more "all in one products" out there... This can be a cost saver (one set of electronics can do multiple functions). Also, with integrated hardware, the ability to monitor and have integration with, for example, BMS on a Lithium Ion battery bank.

Getting support, parts, emergency support, etc. can be difficult--Add trying to get support from an overseas company, etc.--Can be difficult. Sometimes though, a good product that does what you want for less money--Hard to resist the experiment.
