Sentences with phrase «turbine electricity output»

Of course, even condor protection alone would likely limit affected turbine electricity output to 10 or 20 % of rated capacity, instead of their current 30 % average.

Adding other protected species would drive nearly all actual wind turbine electricity output down below 5 % — making the turbines virtually worthless, and driving the exorbitant cost of wind energy even higher.

Not exact matches

Electricity output from individual turbine farms can vary greatly (colored lines), but linking them up along whole coastlines can smooth out total power production (thick black line).

They are intended to maximise the energy output from the Hywind turbines by mitigating peaks and troughs in production, storing surpluses at times when the grid is at or near full capacity and unable to accept further injections of electricity.

Exactly the same situation exists in the electricity sector: no number of turbines will ever equal the cost, reliability and output of one conventional electricity plant.

A random sample of the turbines» electricity output is third - party verified each year.

WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: «While Sunday's weather caused disruption for many people, it also proved to be a good day for wind power output, with wind turbines alone providing the equivalent of all Scotland's total electricity needs.

Specifically, the two turbines have been increased from 8.4 MW to 8.8 MW, which in turn increases EOWDC's output to 93.2 MW, and as such it will generate 70 % of Aberdeen's domestic electricity demand while displacing 134,128 tonnes of CO2 annually.

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 turbines generate electricity most (70 - 85 %) of the time, although their output varies according to the strength of the wind.

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.
