Westmill Wind Speed and Power Output Graph

If you are using Internet Explorer and the above graph is not visible, please view the graph in Google Chrome or Firefox.

Note: the wind power generated is approximately proportional to the cube of the wind speed, so output varies rapidly, even at moderate wind speeds. Very little is generated with wind speed less than about 5 m/s. At strong wind speeds, generation is limited to rated capacity (6,500 kW for all 5 turbines).

Westmill Sustainable Energy Trust (WeSET) is the charity set up by members of both Westmill Wind and Solar Cooperatives to spread the benefits of Westmill to the wider community. We carry out a wide range of activities, the core being educational work, local energy conservation and renewable energy initiatives and arts projects. As well as arranging guided tours of the site, once every two years WeSET organise a large event to promote community energy to the general public. Our hope is to encourage others to set up similar community owned renewable schemes.
