Please note: This data is not acquired to small turbine testing standards.

There may be days missing in the data because the data acquisition system is unavailable,

but the turbine is fully functional.  Please see service history to see when turbine was unavailable.

Wind data in [] indicates data taken on H40 tower, not this one!

Power/Energy data in {} indicates non-OEM blades were installed.  This performance is better

than the OEM performance, but there are other issues with non-OEM blades.
