Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
13.7mph forecast winds from the SE has given a Ripple prediction beating generation of 1.05kWhv's the predicted 0.87kWh 08.00-09.00. Plenty more of that going forward please. 17.2% up, nice.
Mentally lining up for Project 3 announcement and deploying of cash. I think I've finished paying for our share of Kirkhill now.
Any input on Proj3 spec guess? I am hoping for a PV farm down on the South coast with room for sheep underneath That's my practical one, my dream one would be offshore WT which I absolutely don't expect.
Would be nice to see more gravity storage in mines on a decent scale.

12.00 to 13.00 0.69kwh predicted, actually take? 1.43kWh at 13.01hrs.
Edit, then displaying 1.64kWh at 13.30hrs. Live adjustments!
0.83kWh predicted for this 13.00 to 14.00hrs slot. Quite enjoying this as it's going 'our' way rather than against us.
Edit- actually at 14.01 was 1.42kWh. Second edit 14.50 it's 1.68kWh. I am liking this doubling up of the predicted figures!
It is proving very reliable (performance not prediction) since the sensor change out, just need to see it perform in a big blow.
22nd predicted to be 10.49kWh.
23rd predicted to be 15.32 kWh.
They look like stronger days than that going on the forecast I use. Fingers .

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Back to the AGM briefly ... I wrote a while ago that I got my invitation, by which I meant the email. When I clicked on the link to register I couldn't succeed because it said I need a Google account and I don't have one. So I sent them an email and support said somebody would sort it out. But I haven't heard anything else about the subject since, and I haven't got access to the accounts. It's getting rather close to the meeting now, so I just emailed them again, but I thought I'd ask on here.
Has anybody successfully registered (even better if without a Google account ) and has anybody seen the accounts yet? If not, what's the timetable for these events?

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Hi DJH, I registered and received a reply which stated that a link would be sent nearer the time. It is yet to arrive. Records of board minutes etc are available on our Ripple account page although I am unable to find any figures supporting the upcoming AGM. Perhaps they will arrive with the missing link! Sorry I can't help further.djh wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 1:51 pm Back to the AGM briefly ... I wrote a while ago that I got my invitation, by which I meant the email.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I was thinking of our discussions on the the very predictive aspects of the predictions for the WT output as I was typing the figures. Good to see it from this side now! I personally need 40kWh more to be in PB territory, I'll get most of that today. Looks like my earlier Monday afternoon prediction for PB Xover was a tad pessimistic...I am very glad to say!AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:10 pmAlready within spitting distance of April's highest so-far figure, and we have 10 days still to go!Joeboy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 1:02 pm It is proving very reliable (performance not prediction) since the sensor change out, just need to see it perform in a big blow.

Have to agree there Joe, returned figures are looking much closer to estimates lately.Joeboy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 1:02 pm 12.00 to 13.00 0.69kwh predicted, actually take? 1.43kWh at 13.01hrs.

I don't know if it was just a coincidence but the forecast for 20th with minimal winds was 2.75kWh's with the actual being 2.56!
Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I'm confident that the dodgy blade pitch sensor was clouding it? Hope so anyway!Adokforme wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:59 pmHave to agree there Joe, returned figures are looking much closer to estimates lately.Joeboy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 1:02 pm 12.00 to 13.00 0.69kwh predicted, actually take? 1.43kWh at 13.01hrs.

Thanks. That puts my mind at rest a little.
