kirk hill output

I made a spreadsheet for the ouput of the generators at kirk hill based on the specifications from the Enercon datasheet for our turbines. This shows the output at the full range of wind speeds for 1 turbine and for all 8. I have also calculated the ยฃ per day generated @ 3.2p (also assumes a steady windspeed, which is unlikely) for the whole array. The generators are rated at a windspeed of 14 metres/second ie that is when the max output occurs. My share is 2kw so my max gain would be ยฃ1.54 per day.

At this moment (12/07/24 10.15am) the windspeed from the Ripple output is 4mph, which is below the cut-in speed, hence the lack of current production.
