I wonder how high the generation will go on Sunday. :twisted:

It was a great day although not quite as productive as the 10th Sept (129kWh). I like the new graph, even more so when DW is stacked on top too!
Interested to see what we get up to when Winter demand kicks in and hopefully curtailment falls away. 95% CF on Kirkhill would have generated 152kWh yesterday across both projects rather than 119kWh. Even at 19mph today at KH its still lagging where it should be. I wonder if one or two turbines are offline? No way to know.. (57% CF @ KH in 19mph winds). :o

Blade angle 11.6 degs, so its curtailment.... as far as we are allowed to see. :roll: :D

Not as good as I was hoping for with the KH curtailment and Joeboy would have easily beat me with less curtailment.
121.4 kWh for yesterday which I'm guessing is a combined GF + KH nowtyPB.

10th Sept was 118.49 kWh so slightly less, and also noticed 22nd Aug was 120.74 kWh so yesterday Sunday 20th Oct still wins out for me at 121.4 kWh for a combined Ripple PB record.

Ah, I am 129.05kWh on the 10th Sept as my combined Ripple PB.

Max possible for me is 168kWh on the impossible perfect 24hr run. I look forward to seeing how much the beast awakens across Winter.

SWMBO has a small holding in a 2.5MW solar project to the east of Dundee, PVGIS gives quite a remarkable annual yield at 933kWh per kW installed, only 4% less than 991kWh for DW in Devon. I had a work colleague who went to University in Dundee and he told me of the cold howling winds coming from the river Tay Estuary.

I like how its going to be used to help power the James Hutton Institute.

That's the one I didn't go for, no real reason why tbh.

This one is going up on the edge of the city at the roundabout from hell. It's a big installation. IMHO Dundee is THE Scottish RE city .

I'm pretty certain your photo is that project as its just off the roundabout at the west end of Dundee (I previously said east when I meant west.:facepalm: ).
Its also got the project logo on the sign, thanks for the update. :praise:
