As a strictly temporary measure, the Dutch engineers have decided that the power output from the turbine should be limited to 30 kW. Quite how they achieve this I don’t understand, but they can do it by accessing the control software over the internet from Holland. Even though the energy output from the generator will be much reduced, it should at least keep running because we won’t get those cable-induced voltage spikes. We probably won’t lose too much generation in the short term because we need wind speeds in excess of 8 m/s to go above 30 kW, and we really haven’t seen much of that kind of wind as yet.
