Northwind 100 Wind Turbine - Country Garden

Wind Turbine update: Hyannis Country Garden was issued a building permit on August 25 , 2008 after obtaining a bond. The permitting process is now complete , and we broke ground on August 28 , 2008.

The monopole and nacel are in place. Rotor blades were damaged in shipment. They are being repaired in Barre Vermont. We plan to fly the rotors on Monday Nov. 17th

Dedication ceremony and commissioning will soon follow. We will update project progress often.

 

The pole height is 121.36 feet tall. The rotors will extend another 34.44 feet. The F.A.A. has given us approval for our wind turbine to be 156 feet tall.

The turbine was purchased right here in New England and is manufactured by Northern Power located in Barre, Vermont. The award winning turbine is a passively-cooled, permanent magnet, direct drive generator eliminating a gearbox and transmission. This creates one of the quietest turbines available with noise levels measured at 50 dB, which echo the sounds of normal conversation or soft music.

The Northwind 100 wind turbine project is just step number one in our continuing effort to be energy conscious. It is estimated to produce 92% of our annual electrical use.

Future plans include the use of Bio Diesel fuel and solar panels.

Koi & Pond Tip of the Day
November 20th, 2008
Most pondkeepers know that the best way to ensure clear pond water is with an ultraviolet sterilizer. Some often overlooked factors are what to do when the UV light is not doing the job anymore. Usually, this is a simple as an old lamp. Depending on the brand, UV lamps should generally be replaced about every 12-15 months of use.
