 Energy Produced

 About This Installation

Electricity produced by the wind turbine is measured in kWh. Power production data is collected from a revenue quality electrical meter by an on-site Fat Spaniel datalogger and sent to the Fat Spaniel database every 15 minutes on average. Fat Spaniel uses this data to produce records of daily, monthly, and yearly totals for measures kWh produced. Fat Spaniel only provides graphed and reported data on the production of power occurring after the installation of the Fat Spaniel datalogger in May 21 of 2005. However, according to the system owner, 600 kWh was generated prior to this time. This amount should be added to the amounts shown below for a complete picture of this installation�s generation.

 Pollution Avoided Statistics

Cars Off The Road For A Day is based on a US EPA 'Tier 1' car achieving 'fleet average' gas mileage of 27.5 mpg and incurring a typical driving day of 35 miles. Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) estimates that 0.71 lbs/mile at 27.5 mpg of Carbon Dioxide is emitted per mile of driving. VAEIS uses these estimates and the information to the left for Carbon Dioxide to calculate the number of Cars Off The Road statistic.

On average, in New England, emissions avoided per 1,000 kWh of wind energy production equals:

Carbon Dioxide

Climate Change Gas

1,400 lbs*

Oxides of Nitrogen

Smog Forming Gas
Acid Forming Gas

3 lbs*

Sulfur Dioxide

Acid Forming Gas

6 lbs*
