Looking at it from 1/2* mass * sqare of the velocity for the kinetic energy in the wind, it looks like you wouldn't have that energy in the wind passing through the area of the blades until you hit about 11.8 meters per second wind velocity, about 26.4 miles per hour. If your efficiency was 35% at high wind speeds, it looks like you would need about 16.8 meters per second, or about 37.6 miles per hour, unless I made a math error, or his efficiency is a little higher which would be difficult I would think for the high end of the wind scale.
