Well, it’s been a little breezy today. The Endurance fault tolerant braking system shut the turbine down due to high winds (65.2 mph). We waited a while and the blades began to turning again, Then the grid went down (only for about 5 minutes), and the turbine waited about 5 more and we were making power again.
Then the turbine shut down again (63.8 mph wind), I got impatient and started the turbine and did not let it cycle on its own this time, then the wind blew a little more… And in the 24 hours from 8:45 last night until 8:45 tonight, our meter for the turbine said … (really I read the meter and did the math) that our little windmill managed to produce 83 kwh of power in just the last 24 hours!
And as I get ready to send this e-mail – the control box says that we are still producing 4867 watts! WOW the Endurance is everything you promised. God bless global warming and the Endurance!
