Ampair 6kW Wind Turbine

The new Ampair A6000 wind turbine is now operational at Boost Energy's Park Farm premises. This is a low wind location and the system has not yet been programmed for maximum power. Nevertheless we have already seen power production of over 1 kW. On the laboratory test bed we have seen over 6 kW.
The price is very competitive and maintenance costs will be very low compared with equivalent products.
The mast is 10m high with a low fence around it as the field is shared with two horses (visible in the distance). Noise level is low so they are unconcerned about the turbine's presence.
Power is fed to a nearby house, the grid-tie inverter and interconnect unit being located in the Managing Director's kitchen. Selina and I are spending much time there, monitoring performance.
