Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a project to upgrade an existing renewable energy system and could really use some expert advice. The goal is to maximize self-consumption and minimize grid dependency while incorporating new components.
Current System:
Wind Turbine: 5KW grid-tied...
And now for something completely different!
I have been after a power station telegraph for decades and due to the fact most would have been obsolete after the 1940's I assumed I would never be able to obtain one but........
The power station telegraph system is just like the ones found on a...
Hello
Have purchased a 500 w mini wind turbine to help charge leisure batteries in our temporary mobile home.
I have sourced and fabricated a sturdy metal bracket to mount it 6 metres in the air.
It's connected back to the batteries in the Mobile which is connected to an inverter to provide...
Has anyone got any good stories /recommendations of a small domestic turbine . I have read a lot , and it seems its not always viable . I do have a good location out of turbulence and in my opinion its always bloody windy. I`m looking to have a try at installing something as a trial. I already...
Hi All.
Is there anyone on the forum who's brains I could pick regarding and issue with a Harvi, Eddi, hub and Zappi problem. All tied in with a wind turbine, economy 10 thick walls, cellotex and metal roofing let alone multiple buildings and distance! Thus far Myenergi have been unable to sort...
DIY . Hello, I own a Marlec Rutland 913 250w , 12v Wind Turbine that I want to erect on land outside my caravan. The turbine will be 10m in the air and will be located about 15m from my caravan. I will size to 30 meters of cable. The charge controller the wires terminate to has a 20amp fuse...
So Our Centaur 50 Turbine engine shutdown on High Fwd Gearbox Vibration. SD set point is 16G. Looked at the trends and for two hours spiked from 1.6 to 15.9. Quite a substantial and non linear rise.
checked Prox probes. Tested Proximeters and measured Gap voltage, all ok. Checked Gear box...
Hello Peeps,
Advice please.
A customer has a 10kw wind turbine, this is configured as split phase.
He's had to install 3 phase but the company that put the turbine in only installed a 3 core swa to the turbine, whoops.
This normally would be ok but the control gear requires a neutral.
The plan...
I've been contacted by a customer who wants to have a wind turbine removed. Does anyone know of a firm in the Midlands area that could carry out this job?
Hello everyone,
I am a mechanical engineer with litle knowledge about electrical so I need advice from people knowing about electrical system.
Having a wind turbine that I am testing at the moment, I first placed a big generator (PMG 500kW 690V @ 300RPM - 18000Nm) behind it and it could...
Hello all,
I have a customer who wants to install an internet bridge. The equipment is quite cheap if you use the 5Ghz frequency, but to save costs I would like to put the receiver on an existing wind turbine mast, which has a 2.5kW turbine on it.
My question is, would the turbine motor be...
I have just been accepted on a Wind turbine technician course at a local college. The job really appeals to me but I don't have a background in electrical engineering and have no qualifications in Maths or Physics. My question is - is an electrical background / Maths & Physics essential or they...
Hello
I have been messages on linkin regarding a job with a big turbine company, at first didn't think much of it but been looking into it and it doesn't look so bad.
Just wondered if anyone has experience in this field seen a few bits on forums but they date back 5 years or so
Thanks

Hi guys,
My first post so go easy on me.
I am looking for anyone who is or has been employed by EDF ER as a wind turbine technician or junior technician. I have been invited for an interview and am really keen on the switch but would like to know what they are like to work for?
The salary...
FIRST TEST PROTOTYPE
MAIN RULE
RADIAL FORCES ARE NOT THE SAME BUT MASS M and RADIUS IS THE SAME ?
WE NO NEED TO PUSH MASS M OPPOSITE TO MOTION -- we can use only internal forces
( radial forces action without reaction )

is there anyone on here putting up large wind turbines? We have been out to survey for a 150kw PV and they are asking about a 500kw wind turbine and we are wondering about the grid connection, does it connect via an HV connection straight into the grid or will it feed in to the adjoining factory...
Does anyone know anything about these wind turbines. I have one which is off grid and would like to attach it to a on grid inverter, would there be an issue in doing this
Is there a noticeable volt drop on the output of wind turbines that would prevent them being situated too far from a dwelling?
Reason I ask is that my my parents declined a wind turbine ( to part supply a 3 bed detached house) as they were told that it would have to be located adjacent to the...
