Cleanfield turbine gets okay for testing
The testing program exists to assist small wind manufacturers to certify their turbines by the Small Wind Certification Committee (SWCC).
WEICan and the SWCC will test the V3.5 for a period of twelve (12) months and will collect and analyze data from the tests according to IEC standard 61400-12 Power Performance Measurements of Electricity Producing Wind Turbines and the operational time periods as specified in IEC standard 61400-2 Design Requirements for Small Wind Turbines. The installation for the V3.5 wind turbine is scheduled to be completed by October 31.
"The independent third party testing being carried out by WEICan will be a tremendous opportunity to verify the V3.5's performance and efficiency. This will go a long way to demonstrating the viability of the turbine", said Cleanfield Energy President, Tony Verrelli.

UK must start construction of large-scale storage or fail to meet net zero targets.
LONDON - The U.K. government must kick-start the construction of large-scale hydrogen storage facilities if it is to meet its pledge that all electricity will come from low carbon sources by 2035 and reach legally binding net zero targets by 2050, according to a report by the Royal Society.
The report, "Large-scale electricity storage," published Sep. 8, examines a wide variety of ways to store surplus wind and solar generated electricity—including green hydrogen, advanced compressed air energy storage (ACAES), ammonia, and heat—which will be needed when Great Britain's supply is dominated by volatile wind and solar power.
It concludes that large scale…
