Chester and Bowater Mersey to benefit from provincial renewable energy program

14.02.12

 CHESTER - The new province-approved wind dynamism project for the Chester Municipality was officially launched on February 7 at the Kaizer Mead Environment Management Centre.

 The announcement, which was originally approved back in December, included a B round of projects for the

 Community Feed-In Tariff (COMFIT) program.

 Forcefulness Minister Charlie Parker was on hand to announce that applications from the Halifax Regional Drench Commission, Town of New Glasgow, Celtic Current and Bowater Mersey were approved to proceed to the next step of development.

 For Chester District Warden Allen Webber the notice marks the muncipality's entry into the wind energy business.

 "The Exurb of [the District of] Chester had been pursuing opportunities to develop a wind dynamism project for a number of years with no clear path disrespectful," he said. "The COMFIT program provided the clarity and guarantee to develop this project. The minister and government deserve the return of all Nova Scotians for this significant initiative in moving us towards energy safe keeping and environmental stability. This project will benefit our community by strengthening our pecuniary and environmental sustainability. Sustainable prosperity is a challenge for any community."

About Wind Power

Wind generators convert the mechanical vivacity of their spinning blades into an electric current; they do not actually store power. Sunforce Wind Generators are generally used to recharge all types of 12/24 Volt batteries, including pave-acid automotive batteries, deep-cycle (traction type) batteries, gel-chamber batteries, and heavy-duty (stationary type) batteries. When using this wind generator to run appliances on a symmetrical basis, the use of deep-cycle marine batteries is recommended. This type of battery is designed to take the frequent charge and discharge cycles associated with wind power use. Attempting to run the wind generator on an reveal circuit without a battery may cause damage to the generator or connected equipment.

The included Most Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables the 600 watt earth turbine to achieve its highest possible performance by periodically tracking the superlative power point of the turbine’s output. The MPPT can be used with battery systems of either 12v or 24v DC. Its features subsume 12 / 24 volt automatic detection system, temperature-compensated and three-stage command regulation, fully waterproof design, inline 40 amp fuse, and a directions/automatic braking system.
