Hi Ian, I think yours is an excellent idea. If an owner wants to install a turbine even though the site is not ideal, the owner should be able to get some...
Hi Roger, I agree with you in part but it is presumptuous of us to ASSUME the people in MA had the wrong wind resource data. The MTC has spent lots of money...
Roger, Would you be willing to take a look at the MTC website and tell me if they are doing anything less than WI? OR, give me the WI web site that documents...
Randy, Thanks for your comments below and offer of help with data. If you have a Grid-Tie wind turbine on site I would like to have whatever you have got time...
Doug, Joking aside, I am willing to try out some ideas with 'garage' science/R&D. The risks are the obvious ones, my expensive turbine was destroyed once...
Oops, Mike, I thought I did send the request to the AWEA list. Sorry... I don't mind at all that you adhere to an alternative hypothesis. You do strongly...
Roger, The Email address you sent me for Mick Sagrillo in WI got rejected. Have you got another or can you just forward my message? --Mel Prof. Mel Tyree ...
Mike, Thanks for the data on the power curve and the confirmation that you can get the power production back again from REDUNDANT information. I have already...
Hi All Ben Cosh has sent me the web link below. Ben is the U.K. installer who informed me of two European studies showing that the industry standard wind...
Hi Roger, I am not sure I agree 100% with your statements and perhaps you do not understand my motives. You wrote: "If your rebate had been a production based...
Hi Mike and others, I am sure Mike K will be keen to exchange more messages with me and I will be pleased to reply. Unfortunately, I am leaving town soon on ...
Hey Mel: I assume you've asked the various manufacturers (Bergey, Skystream, etc.) for permission to contact their customers to collect data? If they don't...
Steve, That is a good idea, i.e., to contact the manufacturers. I have started by contacting the installers, but so far no one has responded to say 'yes I will...
Roger, We are in 100% agreement on your last statement. As with any model- garbage in means garbage out. So whoever uses a WindCad model has to understand the...
You're probably right. I'm just thinking that most owners just don't know what you're trying to do. Steve ... From: Tyree, Mel To: SWIEP@yahoogroups.com ;...
David, I am back after a week-long trip and catching up on messages. Thanks for the links below. I have downloaded the various reports and will study them more...
Hi Mike, Sorry for the long delay in replies. As you might know I have been away. Also I was quite busy the 3 days before leaving so I have to go back and read...
Hi Sally, If you go to http://www.ualberta.ca/~mtyree/SWIEP/ you will find some links to web sites that report some performance and maintenance data for some...
Thanks for the data on Wind Generation in Canada. Actual data is very helpful. Does no one have performance data for actual operating wind generation in a...
Hi Matthew, It looks like you were CCed a message sent by David Sharman, Ampair. Over the last year I have grown quite interested in modeling of energy...
Hi Darryl, Thanks for your question. I don't yet have an answer. I suspect that turbulence derates the performance of a turbine and this might be why the power...
Hi all, I am writing a series of opinion papers that examine theoretical and data aspects of the Industry Standard WindCad model that is commonly used to...
Read the two messages below. Mel Tyree, BA PhD (Cantab.) LLD (h.c.) FRSC Professor Department of Renewable Resources 444 Earth Sciences Building University of...
Re: Your model of how turbines respond to turbulence. Charles, Thanks for your wonderful efforts here. You have saved me piles of time. In comparison to your...
Hi all, I took time out of my day-job to finish this quickly, which means I have to work on Saturday to make up lost time on my real job. As many of you know...
Hi all, No one doubts that fossil fuels will eventually disappear. During the transition from a carbon-based economy, when fossil fuel prices increase, there...
Greeting to all, I think it has been nearly 3 weeks since messages have been posted to SWIEP. Two weeks ago I presented a 1-h talk about my Net-Zero Energy...
Hi all, TIMAPE part 4 is now available for download on http://www.ualberta.ca/~mtyree/SWIEP/Publications.html . Download R#36 at the bottom of the page. TIMAPE...
Ted, Thanks very much for your message. I hope you do not mind that I make it public on my SWIEP site. I would very much like to see a draft of your MSc thesis...
Hi All, Before customers get too excited about the potential of power production from small wind turbines mounted on a roof in an urban area, PLEASE take a...
