6kw wind turbine

[f0ster]

that was the dealer price

Have seen really good cheap 2nd hand on net somewhere -they are about .
Give Bob a shout at Sustainenergy West Wales ?

 

[f0ster]

be careful with s/h, you need to make sure the tariff is going to be ok.

 

[Still Farming]

Crap Tariff on new so don't worry so much.
It's the cost of electric and saving on new price you want to look at .

Well actually, as in most things, the saving on new price is irrelevant as to whether the job is worth doing - it just needs to be viable, and for that the cheaper the better [emoji6]

More than that possible.
6kwhrs x 24 hr period is 144 kwhrs ?
Maximum .
But 70 -90 kwhrs easy .
Usually a domestic house only uses 10-20 kwhrs a day so quids in !

Yearly output depends so much on actual sustained wind speed (obviously) . Typically a medium turbine puts out an average of around 0.3 of its rated output so I would think 50 kWh per day would be a good average. Odd days there will be nothing and others you will get the magic 144 kWh.
What is the NOABL average wind speed for your postcode, over 7mps ?

Same thing then !

They can be taken with a "pinch of salt" too ?

Just don't go expecting that a 6kW
rated turbine will provide you with 6kWh of power on much more than a small % of the time unless you are in an 11 m/s minimum wind speed area.

Correct -if ever ?

How many kWh do you get per annum S F?

 

[Still Farming]

You can get 11,000 kwhrs easy .

 

[Courier]

So it will probably average 45 - 50 kWh per day and save you about £40 per week [emoji41]

11,000 kWh per annum is averaging 31 kWh per day - depends so much on the windspeeds at your location - and you will still need power from the grid on the quiet wind periods [emoji6]

Most domestic homes don't even use 20 kwhrs a day so at this low output more than enough power.

Unless I have missed part of the thread I have no idea what the OP needs the power for [emoji848]

Currently using about 9500kwh per annum on the farm

 

[Penmoel]

We have an evance r9000 which is a 5kw machine which has averaged 11300kw per year over the last 5 years, our wind speed is rated t just under 6m/s.

Whats your location as "in river " not much wind maybe ?

Maybe worth looking at micro-hydro turbines [emoji6]

Our Proven 6 installed in March 2011 averages 34.63Kwh per day. A capacity factor of 24.05. It is installed on a 6 meter mast and slightly close to some trees. I recon if it were on a higher mast it would do half as much again. Simple machine, trouble free, with minimal maintenance.
