A Windy Day

Well, it was extremely windy part of the day yesterday, but unfortunately the turbine went off in the evening. I happened to be watching it, so went and re-started it straight away. Also, looking at the activity log, the turbine actually stopped because of excess wind speed. If it measures a speed over 25 m/s, it shuts down to prevent damage. It continues to monitor wind speed and will restart after three minutes if it was just a freak gust that shut it down. It is reassuring to know that this part of its programming is working OK.

At the end of the day, total generation has been 670 kW, a new record.
