Permacomputing May: small-scale power generation
DATE: 31 May, 2025TIME: 11:00 AM - 04:30 PM
all times are in Irish time unless noted otherwise
Join Colm O'Neill for a permacomputing workshop on small-scale power generation systems.
This session demonstrates small-scale power generation systems, like solar-powered systems, and mini wind turbine systems, for domestic use.
We'll look at installed examples, identify the various components needed for such systems, and look at what sized systems we'd need for various uses.
All welcome.
FREE entry, no booking required.
Please note:
- This session is part of Colm's PhD research, and will involve the capturing of informal conversation. During this session, you will be also asked to join in these discussions, to discuss your own experience of the subjects covered in the session. Participant information sheets and consent forms will be shared on the day of the workshop. If you do not wish to participate in the research data collection, the practical content will be published on this website after the event. Read more on the PhD research data collection process here.
- This is a full day workshop, participants can bring their own lunch, or alternatively food and refreshments can be purchased at Ginger & Wild café in the visitor centre.
About Permacomputing
A blend of the words permaculture and computing, permacomputing is a potential field of convergence between technology, cultural work, environmental research, and activism. In essence it aims to promote and experiment with a more sustainable relationship with computer and network technology. Find out more on our Permacomputing project page.
