Starting up the hydro turbine at Rhian for the first time. The LH1000 turbine produced 300 watts or so in spite of not having enough water to fill the draft tube properly. The Rhian system already has a 2.5kW Proven windmill and 1.3kW of PV charging its 48 volt battery. With the help of a small weir or a lot of rain this turbine could increase the average daily energy from 10 kWh to maybe 20 or more...
