Delta / Zeeland trial - results update February 2009
The Delta / Zeeland small wind turbine wind trial has released another set of results so that the data now covers a ten month period through until the end of January 2009. This is a trial of eleven turbines in a row in a relatively coastal area of the Netherlands.
The previous results covered the first six months and were discussed here, here, and here.
Since then I believe that RD Swift and Ropatec have made some changes to their turbines. The smaller Ropatec (the 3kW) is now performing better but the larger (the 6kW) seems unchanged. The RD Swift does not appear to have a different performance.
The better performers continue to be Southwest, Fortis, and Ampair. The Zephyr AirDolphin also does well but is very expensive.
