In May, Southwestern College was notified that it would be the recipient of a small wind turbine via the Wind for Schools program. Southwest Windpower, of Arizona will provide the college with a Skystream 3.7 land turbine system and Cate's Supply of Winfield, KS will install the turbine along with the help of the Southwestern College plant operations staff. The Skystream 3.7, a 2.4 kW wind turbine, will produce up to 400 kilowatt hours per month and will enable Southwestern to create curriculum to educate the campus and community about wind energy.
The location for the installation of the turbine will be on the southwest corner of the former soccer field and installation is scheduled to be completed by the end of July. I will provide daily updates and photos as to the progress of the the turbine installation, so check back frequently to view real time updates of the progress being made.
Here are the first photos of the site (multiple views) where the installation will take place along with a campus map with the location of the turbine starred.
