8 Steps Used by Windpower Developers to Create Agreements

Author:  van Warmerdam, Carl

People who believe that offshore wind turbines can help solve climate change are misinformed. Because the facts are that they will not. Even the companies building them make no such claim. And the truth, based on facts, will always trump belief. I am not a climate denier, but you don’t have to be a climate denier to know that these things are bad and are doomed to failure. And you also don’t have to be linked to the fossil fuel . . .

Lenalea windpower facility

Author:  SSE Renewables

The Lenalea windpower facility is located in the rural upland setting of central Donegal, around 8km southwest of Letterkenny. The project secured planning permission in January 2010 but was unable to progress due to the lack of access to the electricity grid. Construction was completed in August 2023. The Lenalea windpower facility consists of seven Vestas V117-4.3 MW turbines, each with a tip height of 136m (446ft). The blades are 57m (187ft) long, and the hub height of each turbine is . . .

Gone with the wind? Wind farm–induced wakes and regulatory gaps

Author:  Finserås, Eirik; et al.

Abstract – Wind farm–induced wakes can propagate dozens of kilometres, decreasing the power production and the fatigue lifetime of wind turbines between neighbouring farms. This phenomenon termed hereinafter “wind theft”, may lead to legal conflicts between wind farm operators and even States as power production from a wind farm is affected by the wake effects generated by another, reducing power output. Wind theft can substantially slow down the development of offshore wind if it is not regulated by a clear legal . . .

General Specification V112–3.0 MW

Author:  Vestas

1. General Description The Vestas V112-3.0 MW wind turbine is a pitch regulated upwind turbine with active yaw and a three-blade rotor. The Vestas V112-3.0 MW turbine has a rotor diameter of 112 m and a rated output power of 3.075 MW. The turbine utilises the OptiTip concept and a power system based on a permanent magnet generator and full-scale converter. With these features, the wind turbine is able to operate the rotor at variable speed and thereby maintaining the power output at . . .
