Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Joeboy]

I sympathise with Ripple, try to build a business from solid foundations and the plotical landscape is in such flux.

I'm sure they have had fallback plans in place to shift site if need be. If they can't get a PV farm going in England they should put up another turbine set in Scotland. Play to the regional strengths. A shame they didn't get in with a winner for the offshore WT licenses.....

25mph winds up here, Internet land connection is down but power is fine. My 1 week local forecast has rain for a solid week. The last big Aberdeenshire floods kicked off after 5 days of steady downpour. This isnt that though, easing up a little as I type.

Power off here so running on diesel power meantime!

Sorry to hear that mate. If you need anything gies a shout.

Is that your Mr Lister ?

It is indeed, he's chugging away happily in the garage.

Thanks for the offer, Joe everything's fine with the Lister running.

My forecast has GF at 13mph at midday with KH at 17.4mph peaking at 23mph at 6pm tomorrow. Sadly its virtual but man is it moving!

I have GF winning up to midday and KH winning in the second half of the day, but as we both have both investments its a moot point.

I am hoping project 3 is an East Anglia or Cornwall project so we have an English one too. Cornwall would probably have a better capacity factor, but East Anglia would be better for generation diversity.

Good point Nowty, there's several wind farms off of the coast here and the winds been blowing a good un all week. Checking capacity factors then of the four listed Gunfleet sands achieved 33.2%, Greater Gabbard 37.3%, East Anglia One 43.4% with Galloper topping out at 45.2%.
Onshore turbines are few and far between,but the one at Ness Point, Lowestoft built in 2006 was at the time the country's largest at 2.75 MW's and known locally as Gulliver. I've been unable to discover what capacity factor has subsequently been achieved.

I used to work those waters, 30mtr WD and REALLY fast currents. It's all just engineering though so can easily be done. I'd shout about Hywind and its 52.6% capacity performance but I always find these thoughts are slightly marred by the curtailment word. Blow all that money on HS2 when the power can't flow efficiently? Absolutely bassakward.

WT1 November generation has now beaten April's total, about half hour ago.

Just Oct to go then and it's brand new territory.

Some serious flooding in Aberdeenshire now worth a look on FUBAR news Aberdeen for a look at Fugh Bridge in Banchory.

It is blowing an absolute hoolie up here!
Even my daft wee roof mounted WT is kicking out power.

Outputting a heady stream of windborne electrons! Must wire in my 12v light to the battery just for the craick.
