The one exception to this might be if you have a really good
hydro power turbine, then maybe, but that's dependent on you having flowing water and a large drop, very difficult to find when buying land.

«And the newly improved Sensor Fish will allow us to more accurately measure the forces that fish feel as they pass by
turbines and other structures in both conventional dams and other
hydro power facilities.
Philip the troll, sorry for your loss, but why do you want to replace
hydro power with wynd
turbines?
It is one of the few
hydro -
power stations in Australia to include pumped
hydro in which water is pumped from the lower Jounama Pondage to the upper Talbingo Reservoir when electricity is plentiful and cheap, so that it can flow back down through the
turbines to generate more electricity at times of higher demand.
Thus, the
hydro plant will be able to make
power when the prices are high and use
power when they are low, complementing the grid as well as the wind
turbines.
Combining onshore and offshore wind,
hydro and innovative technologies such as concentrated solar
power and more recently
turbine blades, GE Renewable Energy has installed more than 400 + gigawatt capacity globally to make the world work better and cleaner.
That opened a downstream channel large enough to flow 13,000 cfs through Oroville's Hyatt
Power Plant's
hydro turbines, barely keeping up with low inflows (DWR 2017e).
In order to address the intermittency associated with the heavy proposed use of wind
power, the report proposes to deploy offshore
turbines dispersed in locations all around the country (when there is little windspeed in one location, there is likely to be high windspeed in other locations), and implement backup generation consisting of biogas, biomass,
hydro, and imports to manage the remaining variability.
Methane is produced by the trees and plants which have been submerged by the dam waters and is released when the water passes through the
turbines of
hydro - electric
power stations.
One might argue the answer is zero in the Pacific Northwest where most
power is
hydro, but even in heavy
hydro / nuclear areas, the incremental marginal demand is typically picked up by natural gas
turbines.
When wind
power is generated during low demand hours, the IESO is forced to spill
hydro, steam off nuclear or curtail
power from the wind
turbines, in order to manage the grid.
New storage projects are in the news all over, including a 10 - MW battery coupled to a Southern California Edison gas
turbine; a multi-kilowatt flywheel that will store four hours of
power for Hawaiian Electric; and a proposed 393 - MW pumped
hydro project in southern Oregon's Klamath basin that faces opposition from local tribes.
FACT CHECK: wind
power contributes about 6 % of Ontario's electricity supply, at four times the cost of other
power sources; wind
power is not the «lowest - cost» option — the
turbines are cheap to build but there are many other costs associated with wind
power and its intermittency; wind
power can not replace
hydro and nuclear — the fact is, coal was replaced by nuclear and natural gas, a fossil - fuel - based
power source.
Achieving that in the next few decades would enable the next generation of electric
power to be mostly emissions - free by 2050: 50 % nuclear, 10 - 20 % gas
turbine and 30 % renewables (solar, wind,
hydro, geothermal).
Off shore wind, massive solar farms, nuclear
power, coal plants, combustion
turbines,
hydro generators, fracking, mining, farming....
It explores some of the potential solutions, like rapid response gas
turbines and large - scale
hydro -
power storage, but it is perhaps most interesting in how it captures the nature of the problem itself, and what can cause it.
The off - grid villa gets its
power from a wind
turbine, solar panels, and a
hydro system run by wastewater from the resort's restaurant.
