I have now been opted out of FIT deemed export payments and on Octopus Outgoing since late Nov 23 so I have a full 5 months worth of experience with it in the less sunny parts of the year so I thought I would give an update to how it’s going. :oO: If I was still on deemed exports, I would be getting...

And the thread about different types of transmission cable, with ACCC being the latest. https://camelot-forum.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2954&p=44834#p44834 Liking the trapezoidal strands to fit more aluminium into the same conductor diameter and the carbon fibre reinforcement core fo...

Up to now the Grid has taken the worst case scenario for the ability to transmit power ie at max ambient temp and no cooling wind, and at the same time taken the max electricity that can be transmitted/produced. On that basis the cable is rarely if ever transmiiting max practicaly speaking. For a f...

It might be an update to an initiative started last year which dan_b posted here, https://camelot-forum.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2508 There is also some more info with a couple of webinars here on the Technical Limits programme. https://www.nationalgrid.co.uk/our-network/statement-of-wo...

Hi Nowty -as below... Capacity owned 2.858 kW Whitelaw Brae 0.200 kW Derril Water 0.875 kW Kirk Hill 1.784 kW Expected annual generation 7,000 kWh Whitelaw Brae 484 kWh Derril Water 857 kWh Kirk Hill 5,659 kWh So you are probably a fraction over the 7000kWh limit once you go to extra decimal places...

Be aware -Ripple are requesting consumption evidence even if not above consumption limit of 7000kwh . Apparently its in the small print if you buy into several offers -eg Kirk Hill and Solar and new windfarm. Appears unnegoitable despite not exceeding the 7000 limit. I cannot provide consumption ev...

April capacity factor graph for GF, not long now before I will also be doing the KH one.

Quite an epic month compared with baseline, over 50% more generation than expected, so compensates for the below par solar.

Nowty Towers Power Station Main 4kW PV system generated 386 kWh which is about 17% below baseline. :evil: Total PV arrays generated 1203 kWh. Electric Import was 598 kWh. Gas import was 11 kWh. Out of house EV charging was 0 kWh. Petrol used in EV hybrid was 0 kWh. Total imported energy use 609 kWh...

Update time, A few more members, plus other improvements within the membership of the secret list. :mrgreen: The Ripple P4 (Whitelaw Brae) which is confirmed to be a wind farm has started with 10 members. :xx: And now with “associate members” to my secret list. These are family or close friends of ...
