Most of the Grid tie inverters I have seen want at least 150 volts input to work, some  can run with up to 600 volts DC. So if the wind turbine is 48 volt then you may need to use a transformer to step the voltage up, then use a 3 phase recifier ( I have seen them in one package that take up to 200 amps) Feed that into a normal grid tie inverter and it should be legal. That is of course as you come under the AS/NZ wiring rules that you get a sparky to connect it all up. Have fun Pete
