Sentences with phrase «low wind power output»

The finding that there have been a number of instances of seriously low wind power output is another useful bit of data, and a very important one.

Not exact matches

OSLO, Oct 10 (Reuters)- Nordic spot power prices were expected to rise to above 40 euros per megawatt - hour (MWh) on lower wind output and higher consumption, analysts at Point Carbon said on Wednesday.

OSLO, Oct 2 - Nordic spot power prices are expected to fall on higher wind and nuclear output, and lower exports to Germany, analysts said on Tuesday.

OSLO, Oct 11 - Nordic spot power prices were expected to fall on higher wind output and lower export capacity to Germany, analysts at Point Carbon said on Thursday.

Now the western climate alarmists are so damn dumb that they think that somehow wind has got more reliable after 400 years of getting rid of wind power for the very reasons of it's abysmally low and completely unpredictable and unreliable power output in what was an industrializing society.

The average wind power potential output (kW) of different world regions between 1980 and 2005, with high potential shown in yellow and low potential shown in blue.

Modeling has also shown that it's relatively inexpensive to increase the reliability of the total wind output to a level equivalent to a coal - fired power station by adding a few low - cost peak - load gas turbines that are opearated infrequently, to fill in the gaps when the wind farm production is low (Diesendorf 2010).

In this model, local governments and grid operators can coordinate the output of independent solar arrays and wind farms — which operate intermittently and at different hours — with hydropower, biogas, and other low - carbon resources, thus simulating the output of a 24 - hour power plant.

The wake of a turbine is a region of lower wind speed and increased turbulence that reduces the power output and increases damaging loads on downwind turbines in its path.

The results will enable the wind industry to evaluate the potential for yaw - based wake steering to improve the performance of both existing and new wind power plants around the country, which could lead to higher, more predictable output from wind plants and lower operating costs.

While total output from low carbon technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear power, has continued to grow, their share of global primary energy supply has remained relatively constant; fossil fuels have maintained their dominance and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has yet to be applied to electricity production at scale.

In turn, wind farms can achieve greater power output as an overall plant, and customers can expect to see 5 - 10 percent reduced wake losses and improved mechanical loads due to lower wake turbulence.

Wind turbines produce relatively low outputs of electricity, that require a lot of maintenance, and have difficulty handling variations in power [that destabilize the power grid], which are themselves a consequence of variable wind speeds.&raWind turbines produce relatively low outputs of electricity, that require a lot of maintenance, and have difficulty handling variations in power [that destabilize the power grid], which are themselves a consequence of variable wind speeds.&rawind speeds.»

The much lower power - generating capabilities of renewables due to their intermittent output (the Sun has to shine and the wind must blow) has meant that reliable backup capacity — fossil fuels or nuclear — must remain on the grid.

As people have discovered, but can't admit publicly, wind and solar are a «thorn in the butt of progress» and will remain so until some relatively efficient method is devised to «low pass filter» their output to slightly less than their average output, so that they can supply power 24/7, albeit at levels far below their nominal peak capacity.

Output from Britain's power plants would not be enough to meet peak demand if there was «low wind» — meaning the -LSB-...]
