Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

6 monthly maintenance shutdown tomorrow thru to Thursday.

thanks for the warning.
If it was scheduled you would think they would have taken it off the "next 4 days" predictions... Nothing on the "news feed" about it (mine anyway)

Just looking at my webpage it was showing generation for today thro' to around 9 o'clock whereupon the graph disappeared from view presumably when someone flicked the off switch. Certainly the forecast generation for today was very limited so no great loss.
After a quiet fortnight the past week of windy conditions had brought the CF back up to 32.1%. If there is zero output for the next three days CF will drop to 28% before the opportunity to increase it back up again will arise.
With a bit of luck it will at least surpass all of last years monthly figures apart from Oct, Nov & Dec.
Fortunately for us to date Feb has been a good month PV wise being 28% up on average.

Looks like they have switched WT1 back on at least for overnight, its generating again.

Its all happening at WT2.



Foundation pours going on.

This update is either late to be filmed or published! ..wonder which!? ..as the timeline (hasn't moved) forthis element was deemed to be january, so is everything behind schedule?
.
Also, timeline again, there seems to be a big old gap between "grid works" & control buildings install.

Just hoping commisioning & test.phase doesn't run into the new year,trying to recall how long it was with Graig without checking the reams of pages. (matrix-like rabbit hole)

There was a delay at GF at the end and that was on the DNO's side and we also hit some covid material supply issues. This should all play out better at KH, I think it will. That is a mighty impressive steel reinforcement set up.

That is a mighty impressive steel reinforcement set up.

I would still be happier with 4 holes drilled diagonally into the ground underneath as well... (Rebar and resin or concrete down them, linked into the main block. I would think it would save quite a bit of the simple slab foundation too.

Why do you think it is late, as it says on the construction timeline that the turbine foundation works will start in January, this will go on for months.
Would there be any point in filming right at the start of the foundation works as there wouldn't be that much to see, whereas now we can see real progress.

The first one's still standing, hopefully they'll get these right too!

Plenty of info here on wind turbine foundations, if anyone is interested.
