Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

For a laugh this is today's (Wed 5th Oct) prediction for WT1, I'll publish the actual near midnight tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see if they get 75%+ close? Looks like there will be strong winds through to late on Friday night, I am keen to see the turbine run flat out until then with no failure or curtailment.

Sorry guys, I forgot to screenshot the actual profile near last midnight.

But the average was 76.2% so at least it should give Joeboy some satisfaction.

Interestingly, again it flatlined for several hours at around 94% of max output which adds weight to my theory its being capped slightly at the top end. I am wondering if they have just altered the power factor slightly which may mean it can no longer reach 100% of real power. Ripple did mention something to do with power factor in the early days of operation when it kept shutting down at high output.

I downloaded colournote app as my E yellow sticky notes. I am enjoying doing a morning update of the notes with the daily take. Over 80kWh's to the VB across the last two days. That's where I wanted to be!
I'll happily accept 95% of something rather than 100% of'oh the turbine tripped out at 17.30hrs on a Friday, ah well, cya Monday!'.
Homestack is sitting at 88% soc with over 2kW incoming PV. Just brought on the HWT for 2 hours to use some of the anticipated excess, all WT today going to VB.

yes, that was my way of thinking & doubtless ripples too.

Dont want to do a "smithers release the hounds" (via facebook assault)
comparing potential operations from grag to kirk as following a similar pattern.

Great to see some meaningful generation this month.
Following our exchanges in early Sept about how returns didn't seem to match projections I started recording Ripples own day ahead figures. For the remaining 18 days of the month returns amounted to 51.5% of these, with only one day exceeding expectations!
The first five days of October have faired better reaching a mighty 71.8%. So, is the weather behaving itself better than in September(stronger winds for sure) of have projections been adjusted?

Intermittent is a horrible state of affairs. I do wonder if the blade pitch sensor problem was this. Also what happens to the other two blades, which sensor is master of the three. Or is there just one, chucking out imprecise commands to all three blades? We may never know...

The weathers better (or should I say worse).

Never before in my life have I prayed for wind!

All of Europe's praying for it this winter.
