Turbine nacelle used for new high-efficiency converter for directly powering electrolyzer. • One of the curved turbine blades standing next to the nacelle (generator and converter) • The blade curvature is to limit noise as the blade sweeps past the tower.
Close-up view of nacelle with generator exposed (spoked wheel) and soon-to-be removed existing power converter (behind dangling blue wires)
Aerial view of turbine installation site at Roger’s Memorial Farm.
45’ Monopole delivered to farm site. • Awaiting foundation pouring and utility hook-up
The Skystream turbine installed (this turbine at the National Wind Technology Center, NWTC) The UNL installed turbine will look exactly as this.
