June capacity factor graph for GF.

Almost on baseline, just a smidge below.




I'm waiting for the KH inaugural numbers.

They haven't hit a date yet,...ever. I am in no way surprised at them being late to this one either. To idle away moments I had a look at GF the noo. 11mph w/s and outputting about 30% owned capacity.

Knowing that they (the WT's) dont kick in until 6mph w/s or so I'm guessing that at current 16mph w/s around KH site that we'll be seeing around about 50% generation capacity across the KH field. That gives us a theoretical smidge above 3kW generation across both sites while we wait for KH figures to come in. Happy with that thought .

The rest of the time I've been watching the cat.

Update


Prior to your data being on your dashboards later this month, we wanted you to have some site-wide data as an interim measure.

In June, Kirk Hill has generated just over 3,400,000 kWh (or just over 3.4 GWh).

The total amount of carbon saved by Kirk Hill members in June is 1,808,800 kg of CO2 - the same as driving 315 times around the world in an average petrol car!

The turbines have been running well and these generation figures substantially exceed the P50 (i.e. most optimistic yield for June), despite the fact that one or more turbines have almost always been out of operation for their initial 300hr commissioning service. Actual generation and savings figures will be confirmed once we get the metered data through later in July.

From these estimates, every watt owned in Kirk Hill in June generated 0.1892 kWh. Meaning members who own 900 watts (or 0.9 kW) of Kirk Hill would have received approximately 170kWh.

830kWh for me in June from KH. Away to see AC/DC at Wembley this evening. This is a good day.

And we are off to a good start, June capacity factor graph for KH is indeed above baseline.

Have you calculated that yourself, or found it somewhere? (and I just hope my bid for a bit more of KH comes to fruition before too long!)

I obtained the monthly capacity factors from the chief projects officer, they are pukka.

very good... It's nice that it is balancing GF too, as some here predicted.
Keep up the good work!

Even better when DW solar farm goes operational as solar has an inverse relationship with wind.
