Lessons Learned

• Systems can be made robust with enough money and good design

• Battery charge is hard to manage near full charge in this design with wind • NPS believes fast secondary load controller will solve this

• Using NPS wind turbine power limit control will help (test of this feature is being planned)

• Wind Turbines need to be designed to survive max expected wind gusts

• Lightning must be taken seriously in the Caribbean• Turbine lightning protection system needs a very low impedance path from blade tips to

tower to earth

• Power and control inside tubular tower give extra protection

• Use underground power distribution if possible

• Turbine earthing and power system grounding at turbine base is important

• Use fiber or wireless communications both up tower and to turbines

Irene took blades from 6 15kW turbines at OYC

Irene stopped NPS 100 -21 turbines for a few hours at OYC
