These have been very successful around the country especially in getting micro gen schemes on wind & PV goingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798934859775574729.post-33425858515447038042011-11-10T10:58:44.492+00:002011-11-10T10:58:44.492+00:00From Jack Domane:
Wind powered generators W.P.G...From Jack Domane:<br />Wind powered generators W.P.G's as we know them (turbines) would hardly be suitable on the pier for a number of reasons: unsightly, unbefitting the Victorian Deal Town, the noise and the cost, who in fact would actually pay for it/them? Small Savonious W.P.G's that we are experimenting with could be a possibility. They could provide an interesting attraction to the pier head. The cost would be affordable and supply free power for the restaurant and pier lighting.<br /> <br />Anaerobic digesters combined unit is an interesting thought but to make it practical and financially viable it would need to provide a gas supply and the waste as a fertilizer. This system is already working in Didcott with great success which could be a sensible consideration. However, a plant like this costs more than a few thousand pounds and far beyond a community group but it would be worth talking to the Council probably with Shaun Cline who was kind enough to attend the meeting.<br /> <br />As far as energy from the tide it would be totally unpractical off the Deal coast. Close in on the Sandwich river estuary is a thoughtful possibility which would be more hydro than tidal but as the cost would be in millions of pounds, it can only form an interesting discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
