Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Joeboy]

She's cranking!

At midnight Friday 18th Aug we passed Aug 22 total. Definitely hitting its stride now.

I don't think there would have been much work done at Kirkhill even.if it had been a week day. Storm Betty (Frank Spencer) bringing 44mph gusts.

Only 44mph, we had a MUCH more interesting night here, maybe their next WT project should be up on the hill behind my cottage ! We were sixty gusting seventies until around 6 am now it’s thirty ish

Oh and raining sideways as is the norm here

Get a 1kW WT run in Moxi! Got these figures the noo off the weather app.





This off the turbine



Quite Surreal to be sitting here 34degs & 72% humidity and watch that baby crank! Looks like a 40kWh day for me. It is August isn't it?

Like Nowty said, the windspeed isn't right. I keep an eye on rpm and blade pitch to see if the turbine is being slowed down. Seems to me that 14.6 to 14.8 rpm is pretty much max and a positive blade pitch is the turbine being slowed to stay within spec?

Synchronicity or what, completely unplanned!

I know it isn't but could this possibility be the Autumnal flip? At the moment only 13kWh generation from home PV today. No worries as homing in on 37kWh output at GF with 8 hours to go on the day.

[nowty]

Not in the south its not, 35kWh today so far on the home PV with 5kW still coming in.

Plus the 39kWh so far on GF and its still going at over 2kW on my share.

Enjoy, use it well!

And that 39kWh from GF converts via the VB into 140kWh on the Octopus IO tariff at current rates.

Mental eh? Winter has no fear! WT COP.

Wasn’t the autumn flip back in July we have been picking blackberries since the last week of July.
