Oregon Office of Energy Wind Information

The Wyoming Wind Energy Project is a megawatt wind project at Foote Creek Rim near Arlington Wyoming PacifiCorp owns 80 percent of the project and the Eugene Water and Electric Board owns the rest The Bonneville Power Administration buys the output from 15 megawatts of the project and sells the electricity to Salem Electric The project consisting of 69 Mitsubishi turbines

Wind Turbine Design

Primary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency or power extracted from the wind But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects

Wind energy milestone California now gets about 5

· The wind industry has been quietly chugging along as the workhorse of renewable energy for the last several years NextEra a Florida based energy company that has several wind projects nationwide is in the process of repowering hundreds of wind turbines along the Altamont Pass in eastern Alameda and Contra Costa counties

Washington s wind power windfall The Columbian

In the past four years 624 wind turbines have risen along the crest of the Columbia Hills and on ridges south and east of this town of 90 each the height of a 41 story building as measured from the ground to the tip of the highest turbine blade That number is likely to reach 1 000 when and if all the projects that are under construction or

Offshore wind energy could power entire East

Stanford scientists deliver the first ever quantitative analysis of offshore wind energy on the East Coast They conclude there is enough wind energy to fulfill one third of the energy demand A new analysis by Stanford researchers reveals that there is enough offshore wind along the

Wind Turbine Concept Harvests Energy Roadside

This is a concept that makes a lot of sense provided the technology works and fits nicely into a promising movement in green design focused on harvesting small amounts of energy in unexpected places as in piezoelectrics

BIRDING GROUP OPPOSES LAKE ERIE ICEBREAKER KIM

Opposition is growing to installing wind turbines along the Lake Erie shoreline as a source of generating renewable energy It s coming from the Black Swamp Bird Observatory sponsor of the just completed Biggest Week in American Birding event

Wind Power

In general good spots for wind power electricity generation in Western Washington are along coastlines Ocean Shores/Long Beach area for example along foothills Enumclaw/Buckley area for example the Skagit flats certain places on various islands along the Tacoma Narrows and certain other places

Tilting at Windmills A closer look at Indiana s expanding

Less than 10 years ago Lafayette Ind was just another stretch of flat farmland used to grow corn and soybeans But since 2024 boosted by federal and local tax incentives wind turbines like these have become an increasingly prominent part of the northern Indiana landscape

Pros and Cons Mount Holyoke College

The actual monetary cost ranges but a single commercial scale wind turbine can be about $1 $2 million dollars while a residential wind turbine can be $35 000 $50 000 Compare this to the $100 million for a single oil well in the Gulf of Mexico and wind power is clearly more cost effective

Wind Energy Development Environmental Concerns

Wind Energy Development Environmental Concerns Wind energy development environmental concerns include noise visual impacts and avian and bat mortality Although wind power plants have relatively little impact on the environment compared to fossil fuel power plants concerns have been raised over the noise produced by the

Overview — Vineyard Wind

The offshore wind project will consist of an array of wind turbines spaced at least eight tenths of a mile apart that are each capable of generating over 8 MW of power Power from the turbines is collected by an offshore substation ENERGY TRANSMISSION Submarine cables will be installed along a carefully designed route from the project

Data USWTDB
