October a Record Breaking Month

Another record broken.  From Sept 27 to Oct. 27 We produced 408 KWH for the month. Average wind speed was 6.3 mph. The inverters recorded that they produced 529KWH for the month.  Also, we have been running without an outage since July!




Last Sunday Scott from Redriven was here and upgraded our system (Nacell, long board and HMI to version 3.34. 

This was not a big upgrade. You can now get live wind speed on the main screen . The new software has Internet connection capability again. The main screen now has RPM, MPS and Degrees. It also had better error handling so there will be few times when it completely shuts down based on faults alarms.  We've had it for 6 days and so far it seems better than the last code.

    You are one of the lucky few that actually has a functioning ReDriven Turbine.
    I assume they are trying extra hard to keep your turbine running because your blog is so visible on the web.

    Check out the typical ReDriven Experience at the link below:

    We also put a lot of work into it. We have raised and lowered the tower many times trying different fixes. Many of those times were in sub zero temps. We keep the turbine mouse free too. I guess I should write a post about that danger and what we have found that works best to keep the rodents out.
