Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

I'll do one more update at midnight, my live wind reports look good for this hour.

The graph updated to the new day before it showed what the 11pm final hour actual value was but it showed 34% as the current estimated value which looked reasonable but did not hit my 50% target, let alone the earlier 100% forecast.

Off to bed now.

Having a quick look as the cat woke me up, if I stayed up another couple of hours it did get to over 50 % and has since increased to a nice almost constant 75 %.

Not too shabby now and looks like staying around this level for another 24 hrs or so.

1pm - 0 %
2pm - 2 %
3pm - 5 %
4pm - 3 %
5pm - 7 %
6pm - 12 %
7pm - 10 %
8pm - 19 %
9pm - 32 %
10pm - 26 %
11 pm - 34 % (not sure if this was actual)
Midnight - ?? % (cannot determine as changes to next day before even showing estimated current generation)
1 am - 58 %
2 am - 73 %
3 am - 84 %
4 am - 71 %
5 am - 75 %
6 am - 78 %
7 am - 75 %
8 am - 92 %


Edit - added a few more after a bit more sleep - getting better and I have noticed that the "current hour" of generation does update throughout the hour, I presume based on a weighted average of actual generation.

Good to know, as long as they chase their own game upwards i'm fine with it.

Craig Fatha WT1 ACTUAL power output from 1am this morning, at over 99% during the past hour.

I repeat 99%+

1 am - 58 %
2 am - 73 %
3 am - 84 %
4 am - 71 %
5 am - 75 %
6 am - 78 %
7 am - 75 %
8 am - 92 %
9 am - 99%

[nowty]

Actual generation suddenly dropped from 99% to 21%.

10 am - 21 %

Actual generation suddenly dropped from 99% to 21%.

10 am - 21 %

Ah well , maybe it furled and didn't kick in again.

[AE-NMidlands]

Hooray!
My bit did 1.08 kWhr from 11 am, so maybe that is 100%... Is it a first?

Pretty sure it's flat out. My personal peak is a 2.61kWhr and it looks like it has done that.

Craig Fatha WT1 ACTUAL power output from 1am this morning, looks like finally truly maxing out today.

1 am - 58 %
2 am - 73 %
3 am - 84 %
4 am - 71 %
5 am - 75 %
6 am - 78 %
7 am - 75 %
8 am - 92 %
9 am - 99%
10 am - 21 % (wonder if it shutdown ?)
11am - 100% (and that's not rounded up either !)
Midday - 99%
1pm - 96%
2 pm - 35 % (shutdown ?)
3 PM - 26 % (shutdown ?)
4 PM - 45 %
5 PM - 64 %
6 pm - 74 %
7 pm - 83 % (this has been amended upwards from 13 %)
8 pm - 78 % (this was showing zero and now been amended upwards)
9 pm - 62 % (wind is now dropping)
10 pm - 80 % (wind does not look very strong now but yet 80%)

So some of the weird numbers could just be down to data errors but if most of the data is correct, today has really shown the first really good day and the potential of this wind turbine. Could also be turbulence or the wind turbine still learning as it operates.

I'm really happy with it today and have much less concerns about WT2 as its in a better place and will have 8 turbines for extreme redundancy.

So yesterday WT1 made a new record of 1.66 MWh over the whole 24 hours, worked that out via my average of 66.3% for yesterday.

Todays not too shabby either, maybe 40%+.

We have a lull for a couple of days over the weekend, then looks like good wind again for about 4 days solid.
