Cheers Nowty, blade angle now down to 18 degrees and rpm up to 14 from 8. Phew!

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
A quick check now that the estimate has become confirmed.
New daily PB is 99.12154608% for 24th Dec 2023. We'll need the 8 decimal place going forward. Very little to play for now in daily PB's.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Pessimist... A whole 0.88%!
Surely just the first decimal place will do to beat this (for now?) It's only when we get to 99.90% that the second will be needed...

To achieve 99.2% might take a while, a lot could happen within that 10th of 1%, many, many times or it could be tonight. (Optimism)AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 11:29 amPessimist... A whole 0.88%!

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I see the option to buy additional shares in Derril Water is open (up tp 120% of your consumption up to 7000Kwh ) or more if proof of consumption sent.
Unfortunately its a one off payment or spread over 3 mths -that's gonna hurt after christmas. If i could spread spread over 12 mths ...........
May put the monthly amount away towards my own install .......

Fingers .
I am amazed at the thought of blade pitch control from Europe to keep it running as close to the turbines limit as possible. I'd guess there'd be constant comms pinging back and forth with set spaced timing on blade adjustment so the hydraulic motors controlling blade pitch don't get burnt out early. Truly groovy.

Just been updating our energy spreadsheet to learn that Total import for the year stands at 4,143 kWh's while GF generation amounts to 4,187 kWh's!
PV this month down approx 80 kWh's while GF is giving us all one hell of a ride to make up for it.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
...but likely turned out not to be (!) Although I have been surprised how much of an increase we sometimes get for the final adjustment, but that's probably just the same proportion but on a BIG number!
(I "only" got a CF of 0.969 yesterday.)

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
My GF share is up to its first 1.5MWh in a single month, 50% more than last month and its not the end of the month yet.
Busted the rebate ceiling in a single month again.
