Trystan and Glyn from www.openenergymonitoring.org are working with us at Ynni Padarn Peris. They have have just installed their monitoring system but this is one of their first forays into GSM linked metering. 5 minute metering really shows up the anomalies especially as the hydro system seems to switch itself on and off at low flow which the HH metering would have difficulty highlighting. Its great working with such drive and enthusiasm which matches our own. Their company continues to grow and thanks to their kind donation we have a nice online system that our share-holders, community and the world can see. The monitoring system highlighting that the hydro system is currently getting towards flat out. Bad for tourism but brilliant for sustainable energy. One of these double edge swords again.
