The anemometer takes  readings every tens minutes… the below image is just a simple graphical representation of the data – Purple is the average minimum, Blue average and Yellow max speed. The running average for the period was about 3.6, the min was about 1.1 and the max a bit more than 5. I don’t want to bore you with numbers but the basic gist is this…

On the average low, on a day to day basis there was enough wind for the turbine to reach “On” speeds

At a running average of 3.6 a turbine would run at approximately 55% max output.

So that’s not too bad, while we would rather see more wind, this shows that there is enough wind and at what speeds it would be economically feasible to install a turbine, not ideal, but not bad.

Keep in mind, this is in Southern Florida where the big wind maps say Florida has near zero potential for wind power – so the study serves also to prove the point that small wind is very different from the large scale utility scale wind farms that we’re all kind of familiar with.
