Sentences with phrase «large wind turbines generate»

Not exact matches

They braved the harsh conditions in the middle of the night to set up a large searchlight with specially designed reflecting optics to generate a gigantic light sheet next to the 130 - meter - tall wind turbine for illuminating the snow particles in a 36 - meter - wide - by -36-meter-high area.

«Wind turbines generate electricity by removing energy from the wind, so a larger number of wind turbines should result in a slowdown of the winds in the lower atmosphere,» Mechem sWind turbines generate electricity by removing energy from the wind, so a larger number of wind turbines should result in a slowdown of the winds in the lower atmosphere,» Mechem swind, so a larger number of wind turbines should result in a slowdown of the winds in the lower atmosphere,» Mechem swind turbines should result in a slowdown of the winds in the lower atmosphere,» Mechem said.

Atmospheric science professors Nate Brunsell and David Mechem in KU's Department of Geography are co-authors of a new study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by an international research group that evaluated the effects of large wind farms on atmospheric flow and its implications for how much renewable energy the turbines can generate.

I think that in a sustainable energy economy of the future, most electricity will be generated, stored and used locally, and large centralized generating stations (which by then will be predominantly wind turbine farms and concentrating solar thermal power plants, coal and nuclear having been phased out) will play a much smaller role.

The country's largest wind farm to date is expected to start producing power this summer; the total of 54 wind turbines due to be installed by 2010 will be able to generate up to 135MW.

The technology, which EnviroMission calls a Solar Tower power station, uses the sun's heat to warm a large body of air which then rises through a vertical wind tunnel causing large turbines to spin and generate electricity.

This is not surprising, since a large, advanced design wind turbine can generate $ 300,000 worth of electricity in a year.

And because they are now 100 meters tall, instead of less than 40 meters, they harvest a far larger, stronger, and more reliable wind regime, generating 20 times as much electricity as the turbines installed in the early 1980s when modern wind power development began.

Another option is to install of the small wind turbines (like a Air X) and use it to see how much power a larger wind turbine would generate.

Although small wind turbines may look like miniature versions of large turbines, there are important differences in technology, purchase decisions, application requirements and value of generated electricity.

Based on wind - speed measurements, researchers at MIT, led by Stephen Connors, director of the Analysis Group for Regional Electricity Alternatives, calculated that large turbines located far offshore could ultimately cost less per power generated than either land - based turbines or near - offshore ones, even factoring in extra costs, such as much longer underground electricity transmission cables.
