Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Joeboy]

Boom, I said a couple of days ago the ripple forecasts for the last few days of Oct looked a little pessimistic to me.
Next week looks nuts, I reckon another UK record to go, maybe on Wed 2nd Nov we make 20 GW+ on wind for the first time.

Next week looks like it will have that full tilt bouncing off the limiter test I very much want to see. Backed up by no curtailment and Europe sucking on the fat interconnect pipe for all they're worth.

Still going strong, 2kW extra to add to my meagre 1kW of solar coming in.



Jetstream forecast looks good until at least mid November, mild (little heating), wet (hydro too !) and windy (Boom), that aint going Putin's way.

Now just imagine, fast forward a little over a year with WT2 and two graphs to look at and 4kW extra coming in.

It's quite incredible that 'we' can benefit while jabbing it to Putin. Quite sublime. Going on the current figures for Oct. Oct 24 will add another 1,045kWh for the month thanks to WT2. Going to end up in the land of RE Nirvana and for sure P3 will make it even better.
My personal goal is to clear 3MWh RE in each of the shoulder months, PV, hydro, WT's but not my main market RE investments.

Not the death months of Dec & Jan either though but will be interesting to see these as they are no longer death months thanks to the WT's and hydroturbine. Not bad, and tbh, I need a reality check to pull my ego down now and then.

Hopefully WT1 still outputting but the count has dropped out from midnight.

Maybe the clocks changing threw it? The count software that is, not the WT itself.

I am impressed, comms on a Sunday, nice one!

'Graig Fatha data feed down

30/10/2022

The data feed for Graig Fatha is currently down. Rest assured the turbine is operating fine though.'

As long as its running, I don't need the live generation feed.

The live wind map in that area, currently the windiest place in the country is telling me WT1 is banging out about 80%.

Aye? Excellent! Up at 33.96% across the month to midnight last night. I've still got a chance of 700kWh for the month.
November is going to get off to an absolute flier!

Comms is back again and just looked back at the actuals for 11.00 to 12.00 to compare with my 80% estimate based solely on the wind map.
Actual was 81.3%

[Joeboy]

My personal count for Oct was 694.7kWh at WT1. That's 35.79% efficiency. 1st Nov has got off to a blast. I reckon the new PB will last for precisely 30 days!

Note-Ripples monthly count banner for Oct is off by miles at the moment. It has me down for 499.5kWh!

Second note-.03.00 slot on 1st Nov put out 2.81kWh, that's 107.7% of its potential.

I have also been watching the correlation between strong WT generation and the Octopus Tracker price for gas. Definitely there in these times of warm weather low gas demand.

If your CF is correct that means I missed 800 kWh by less than 1.2 kWh.
