of fuel.
Thanks to their
variable turbine geometry, the full flow
of exhaust gas always passes through the
turbine, so the chargers respond slickly — even at low engine speeds — and operate very efficiently.
The heart
of this most exclusive high - performance athlete is
of course a six - cylinder boxer boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers with
variable turbine geometry, with an increase in power over the 911 Turbo by 30 to 530 bhp (390 kW).
The 740Ld will be powered by a 3.0 - liter inline - six diesel engine with a single turbocharger using
variable vane
turbine technology, making 255 hp and 413 lb - ft
of torque, and will be coupled exclusively with BMW's xDrive all - wheel drive system.
The top model
of the 997 model series is the first - and even today the world's only - production car to have a petrol engine featuring a turbocharger with
variable turbine geometry - known as a VTG turbocharger.
But consider that it employs
variable - geometry
turbine tech from the 911 to slam down an extra 50Nm
of torque (a heady 420Nm from just 2.5 litres), hits 100km / h in a claimed 4.2 sec and offers a 285km / h top speed while averaging just 7.3 L / 100 km, and the conclusion is the Porsche Cayman S is both faster and more efficient than before.
Through adaptation
of turbine flow characteristics to match the operating points, an exhaust - gas turbocharger with
variable turbine geometry presents the opportunity to provide very high
turbine output and thus high charge pressure from low engine speeds.
Mazda says the new diesel unit has a remarkably low compression ratio
of 14.8:1 and a bespoke
variable turbine geometry turbocharger.
The 2497cc Boxster S engine, meantime, employs bore dimensions
of 102.0 mm, essentially making it a big - bore version

turbine housing, reducing operational heat — especially at high speeds.
The growing role
of variable generation sources is changing the landscape, and creating opportunities for wind
turbines to provide untapped grid services that increase reliability and add value for consumers.
Wind power is not quite the same as just wind speed, so we took the
variables that are calculated directly by the global climate models and used an industry wind
turbine power curve as something
of a translation device.
There are many
variables to contemplate when installing wind
turbines, other than just the climatic conditions
of your local area.
The output from wind
turbines can be very
variable and is heavily dependent on the wind speeds
of the area where it is located.
Wind - generated power is also a
variable resource, and the amount
of electricity produced depends on wind speeds, air density and
turbine characteristics.

turbines deploying inverters for connecting the generator to the grid, the wind and the solar PV system can be connected to the intermediate DC bus
of the AC - DC - AC converter.»
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.»
Wind energy: Projecting electricity output at a wind farm is extraordinarily challenging as it involves predicting
variable gusts and complex wind eddies at the height
of turbines, which are hundreds
of feet above the sensors used for weather forecasting.
