Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

So yesterday WT1 made a new record of 1.66 MWh over the whole 24 hours, worked that out via my average of 66.3% for yesterday.

Todays not too shabby either, maybe 40%+.

We have a lull for a couple of days over the weekend, then looks like good wind again for about 4 days solid.

It has been an excellent learning experience so far. Gives a window into the nature of WT's that I was unaware of. I'm happy with my 0.2MWh for a couple of weeks.
Almost 0.7MWh RE for the month excluding the WS. I have to keep reminding myself that it's only went end of March!

I'd like to know the time it takes to slew and how responsive that is.

Someone yesterday asked on twitter to Ripple Energy, "What’s going on with the wild swings in generation - both actual and estimated ?"

Sarah Merrick (CEO of Ripple Energy) answered today,

"We're looking into it. Seems like the turbine is being sent erroneous messages to switch off."

So maybe we have better to once once it gets tweaked.

That's a good honest answer and hopefully a quick fix.

There is someone on facebook using Ripples API and allegedly can determine the percentage sold and number of members.

Its currently,

Ripple's Kirk Hill Co-operative has sold 56.6% to 4034 members.

Sounds about right.

Might be the prosecco talking, but SWMBO and I might just have Zen drive us to near WT1 tomorrow and mix that up with lunch or dinner (or both) at Miskin Manor which is just off the M4 J34 turn off about 3 miles south of Coedely near the Wind turbine.

Got to burn some excess power off the EV battery after getting the free Octopus Charge up.

Also need a bit of exercise after our Covid lay off.

EDIT - Well we are up and about to set off on the WT1 adventure !
