Continue about 5 miles through the Villages of Ammasquam and Lanesville. The State Park parking lot is on Gott Ave which is on the left about 1 mile after Lanesville. When invited, DEM and DOER declined to provide any further information on this project. The installed system includes a Bergey Wind Power Excel-S 10 kW wind turbine generator on a 100 ft Rohn SSV tower. The wind turbine supplies utility standard AC power to the facility through a utility synchronous inverter.
Excess power is sold back to the utility and reduce the facility's electric power costs.
The Bergey Excel-S is designed to operate unattended for extended periods of time. Regulation of power output is performed automatically. A reset from these conditions is automatically performed when the fault condition is corrected. These multiple redundant protections insure against transfer of power to the utility line when the utility line is down for maintenance or during a power outage. The machine can be manually disconnected from the utility grid by means of a disconnect switch at the bottom of the tower or by the 70 amp twin pole breaker in the facility distribution panel.
