How certain are you of this ?
What might the expected consumption be if it can motor ?
I presume it’s related to turbine capacity.
This turbine is rated at 225 kw
Aha !
I have discovered that the half hourly data I was furnished with as import is in fact export which rather makes sense of the numbers.( a bit of an elementary blunder methinks !)
Nevertheless we do still get intermittent months of high import just not as high as the figures I had suggested...
Thanks for reply
Just looking at import half hourly data for 4th feb this year HH01 says 104KWh and HH02 says 103 KWh.
I assume HH01 is the frst half hour period after midnight.
At midnight the only thing that should be running is a water heater with a 6kw immersion in it.
It is possible that...
We have a strange problem.
We have a wind turbine and obviously when the wind doesnt blow we have to import electricity.
However intermittently (on a monthly basis) we have import figures that are maybe three times what we would expect based on the maximum load we could generate.
So we have a...
