Re: UK Wind Record
Here on the fens edge the clouds were ominously black around 12.30pm yesterday, a hard but brief sleet & storm winds set in which as I write are still banging things around.
They've built houses in front of my view of the W/T's now so I cant see the rapidity of the spin..
It has been "trying to snow" with a few flakes last night from around 10pm but was too wet to stick.
There was I thinking this was meant to be a northern storm!

Re: UK Wind Record
Unless these turbines are small ones (a few kW) the blades will spin at constant speed while generating?
Re: UK Wind Record
The Carsington group of wind turbines are all about 2.5MWp. In today’s storm, 5 have been stationary, one is moving slowly as though the disc brake is ineffective and the last one is operating at the speed one would expect when working.
Re: UK Wind Record
The situation with those 7 wind turbines is the same today even though the high winds have gone. It’s Sunday and maybe they need human intervention.

Re: UK Wind Record
Will it or wont it tonight, for a record, there is enough forecasted wind resource and it is a weekday.

And it is decidedly chilly, so more power consumed local to the landfall, meaning there may be less of the generation needing to be shifted across the grid system.

Re: UK Wind Record
And instead of the usual mid afternoon dip, its still rising, looks like only another 1.5GW to make the record.
Maybe the Xmas lights on are helping too.
