Yes, no one should turn down wind farming's ultimate passive lease income when the lease income also includes rate
increases, technology
increases all along and a big one at 25 years when they change out the wind
turbine,
blades and head.
«Carbon offers a great opportunity for wind
turbine blades in that you can
increase the strength by a factor of 10 and stiffness by a factor of four for the same weight.»
In wind
turbines, carbon fiber's stiffness means rotors can use longer
blades, thereby
increasing the efficiency of each individual generator.
According to a new report from Navigant Research, which analyzes 22 wind
turbine manufacturers and 18 independent wind
blade manufacturers, the focus on wind
turbine blades is
increasing.
«The strength - to - weight value proposition is important in the wind
turbine business, where incremental
blade size
increases result in significantly more energy capture,» said Jesse Broehl, senior research analyst with Navigant Research.
The successful delivery of this project will provide a route for substantial financial benefits to both the purchasers of wind
turbines and manufacturers, through
increased blade life and significantly reduced maintenance costs, as well as a reduction in the cost of energy from offshore wind farms.»
Class 3 wind facilities with a hub height of 70 metres or more (excluding
blade length) that were granted an REA prior to January 1, 2016, will not be subject to the 550 setback requirements unless changes are made to those
turbines that
increase their sound power level.
Longer
blades with taller
turbines have
increased wind farm power generation, and drastically reduced costs.
These control methods will be used to
increase the
turbines» power production and efficiency and reduce the stress placed on the
blades by strong winds.
If the wind speed
increases above the cut - out speed the
blades are «feathered» (turned about their axes so as not to produce rotational force at the hub) and the
turbine stops.
If the wind begins to blow too hard, which can threaten the
turbines, the software will automatically feather the
blades, slowing them down, and direct the coal or natural gas plants to
increase their output.
As the wind speed
increases, the efficiency decreases further as the wind
turbine feathers its
blades or even brakes them to prevent spinning too fast.
