Hi.
Please help with my hawt. It's a 96v 2kv turbine and feels like there is to much magnetic resistance. It does not want to spin even when all 3 wires are disconected with no load in very windy conditions. I have had tested the windings and the slip ring and were ok. The bearings are all...

Wind farms operators were paid £900,000 by the National Grid to disconnect their turbines for one night because the electricity was not needed.
The payments, worth up to 20 times the value of the power they would have produced, raises serious concerns about such subsidies, which are paid for...
Hi,
Does anyone use any software for wind load calculations. If so how do you use the information to ensure the additional wind load is ok for the structure. I have seen other people use structural engineers but does anyone do it themselves and how.
It is ok to say a building (domestic) of...
We've been asked to quote for pv at a house (single phase) in a very rural area that already has a 2.5kwp wind turbine. I'm assuming that unless we put a very small pv system on we're going to have to talk to the DNO about this. Our DNO is quite helpful but has anyone any info that would be...
