Okay thank you! I was planning on 130m2 panels which will give about 60kwh a day in winter. The spot i have planned for the panels is on a hill with almost nothing covering the sun from reaching them eaven the few hours in winter. I was thinking og minimum 10kw wind turbine which will generate...

Yes that will cost a lot. Yes i want to have and log as much measurements as possible also to spot problems and wear as soon as possible and figure out how to optimize with time and to calculate the efficiency at different loads and time of the year.

This is for year round use as long as i have liquid water, then i have diesel for backup. Main heating is with wood so the scale of this setup is larger than needed but if no one is home for a few weeks the dam when full should be enough to produce 20kw for 10 days, and the generator is also...

Yes of course. Just now in doing the math and want to figure out how good this will work in real and what i should use for components for the prototype and what results to expect. Yes you are right but i will of course take all possible events in account before going to authorities and i will...

Okay i live on a island belonging to Finland, i own the land where the dam will be and around it and everything that might be flooded except the lake that it wil run into. Some people are living close to the lake closest is 1km from where the dam can run out in the lake, It would require a few...

This is in a are with no electricity so it will be a off grid system. If one of the two dam walls collapses it will go straight down to the lake again witch will gain 0,04l/m2 if dam is full. I think i added a picture which shows the dam and the green line is where the water pipes will go. The...

Sounds like a good idea yes. It is a big project but not as big as it sounds, where the dam will be is now a mountain with a V shape through it so just need to remove the trees and soil and make a wall in each end. And from one end there is a canyon like opening down to the lake where i can just...

Hello! I have some plans that i want to share and get some feedback on before i start construction and buying parts. I have some land next to a lake that i can build a dam with head of 30m around 10000m2 and almost 50000m3. I am thinking of solar panels and wind turbine to generate electricity...
