Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Talked to the farmer who had it installed BRB... it's a grid connected 10kw turbine on a 12mtr tower...

During a low wind day (less then 8km/hr) it generated about $4 of electricity in a day... during a moderate day (about 20km/hr) it generated about $12 of electricity in a day...

Given the winds that swept through last night, and expected again around dawn, of about 60-100km/hr.... I'll be asking him how it went again.... that's if it just spin off into the paddock overnight... didn't have a look today...

Here's the technical guff and pricing... http://www.rewindenergy.com.au/index_files/Page298.htm

It's certainly a lot bigger than it looks, and from the article a real quality machine. Galvanize and lift cylinder for maintanence. It's really a credit to your government to have the feed in tarriffs. We paid them as consumers when they built the nukes over here but I can't imagine the power companys allowing small green producers to get anything. They are setting things up to where the small green producers feed in wholesale and draw off retail.
