@silentspringreborn The bigger the turbine, the more efficient it is, the less energy transfer wasted and being much higher than standard, can reach stronger winds. Also they produce much much less noise. Its all about meeting the strict German standards of noise.
Even the smaller ones are too intrusive on the landscape (and seascape) to honestly be called "clean" energy. The word "clean" should include ALL factors for quality of life and minimal disruption of the environment. Too many compromises are being made for these monsters.
I see major hypocrisy in the turbine industry, which has a mindset much like gas and oil wildcatting. "We need the energy; the rest is collateral damage" (the usual sales pitch).
@GlassWalrus, that's an unrealistic question, but coal plants do use a lot less land per watt of power generated. I've seen turbine pushers comment that they'd put them on every possible acre to "reduce our carbon footprint." Very ironic land-rape mentality. No, I don't buy into "clean coal" or mountaintop removal.
I'd like to see people using more birth control to reduce total energy demand, no matter what the source. The idea that "growing needs" MUST be met is the most obvious problem.
@GlassWalrus, it's not a matter of one or the other. Removing mountaintops to mine coal isn't all that different than desecrating them with skyscrapers. You have scarred the natural element either way.
Above all else, people need to use more birth control and end the mindless agenda of "meeting growing needs" no matter what the side-effects. I don't get turbine-pushers who talk of reducing the "carbon footprint" while ignoring the net physical footprint. I think the latter is very important.
@Antithropocentric - "Ignoring the net physical footprint?" What are you trying accomplish here? You're acting like this is the worst energy source ever, and yet you haven't produced any data justifying such an opinion. Show us your "footprint" numbers.

Wind power kills much more people per produced KWh than nuclear power ever have. And wind power needs reserve power, that is coal in most cases. Which kills hundreds of thousands each year.
Being seductive to people who don't know anything makes wind power among the most dangerous energy types today.

The biggest problem I have with wind turbines is if the wind doesn't blow fast enough to move the blades the generator works as a motor and CONSUMES electricity to move the prop to keep the prop shaft from warping due to the amount of weight on it. Wind turbines are nothing more than a waste of consumer's money that only exist because of government subsidies.
@paker51 this is only by gearturbines, enercon btw dont work with gearing generator so the turbine will stand under 2 m/s windspeed over 2.5 m/s the turbine consume energy from grid to pitch the blades in wind and right out the nacelle for ca. max 10min and then they produce energy and feed the grid, so its a question of technologie ... sry for my english

I invented a breakthrough source of energy which violates the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of energy produced yearly $5400.
I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and $3M for patents.
The higher a wind turbine is located, the greater the wind speed availability to the turbine blades. If it was turning a 2.5 megawatt generator, I'd say that there is plenty of wind there? Those things are geared, of course, so when those blades are moving at what appears to be a slow pace, under a load, that generator is spinning up a lot faster than the blades.
Surveys have proved that no wind farm can produce 100% of its maximum power output - the realistic operation output is about 50%. Many wind farms fall well below that. The norm for onshore wind farms is 25% - 30%. That represents a very low output added to the high cost of wind generation
That is true. Yet studies have also proven that wind turbines, despite there lack in energy produced based on their potential still pay off in the future, costing less then running a fossil fuel operation. Plus, who expects the wind always blow??
I would like to have a wind turbine in my community, but I know that the Power/electric companies are NOT gonna let go of its trapped customers too easily. Iam sure they will probably own these turbines too, and continue selling us power for profit..Iam ready to get off the grid!

dont talk smak about Fuhrlander. I work for another company (and a lot of people left from Enercon, wonder why?), but talking shit about your competition is weak!
@kate5134 The blades (as they are intended) are very light and catch the wind easily. If you lifted the blades on the rotor, it could catch the wind and blow the crane over. They are also delicate, so if you clonk one on the frame work, it will break.
As for the rest, well I think that's just being pedantic.
@kate5134 do you really think a hard hat would matter, all that left to do is bolt them in place so i imagine a nut dropped at that height passes through a helmet head, torso and stops some where around the hips.
@kate5134 too much weight with the blades... and don't forget... they are in a high wind area, you lift a frame 300 feet wide with no stabilization? ugh!
Poul La Cour would be so proud. The Father of modern wind power . My community owns a 5 mw wind generator and not only get free electricity to use for light ,power and heat ....but also a nice check at the end of the year for excess. Also its 230 k away from here ! Love peace and chicken grease to all .
@brt927 wind is air moving. air has mass. a lot of air has a lots of mass. The turbine slows the air down some. the kinetic energy of the air decreases, because some is transported into the blades of the turbine, which spin with this energy. The energy of the spinning blades is converted to electricity by a generator. It doesn't affect the climate, but offsets the energy extracted from coal, which does affect the climate by releasing CO2 and other gases
@brt927 Wind is not the actual byproduct of usable and sustainable energy. The wind blades simply turns a power generation turbine housed in the niselle and that sends energy to a generator. The generator sends the energy to a converter located at the base or in some cases at a sites substation. the converter converts the 50 cycle AC current to 60 cycle DC current and then back to AC "usable" current. The wind is simply used as a power source for the turbine to spin and generate energy
@brt927 When you displace energy you remove it from one source and give it to another. You do not know what you are talking about and should not be calling others a moron! You cannot get energy without taking it from somewhere
@brt927 Wow - what an idiot. Where do you think the wind turbine gets its energy from? The WIND. It's converting kinetic energy in the wind to electrical energy.
Learn what you're actually talking about before you insult somebody else.
@brt927 Wow - what an idiot. Where do you think the wind turbine gets its energy from? The WIND. It converts kinetic energy in the wind to electrical energy using the turbine blades and a generator. The wind that passed through the turbine will be moving somewhat slower than the surrounding air.
Learn what you're actually talking about before you insult somebody else.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wonder how much oil that thing consumes to lub the gear box? Also what is the bird kill rate? And how do you supplement its power when the wind isn't blowing? Would it exist without subsidies? Why did Ireland ban wind power into their grid....and next Spain? Germany certainly removed subsidies and the market crashed over night. Power mgrs. hate wind as it means conventional base load must be increased to take care of business when the wind doesn't blow. Wind BAD! COAL good!
i think people should start making bigger bolts :o cuz the ones that are supersized to bolt down rollercoasters are big, but for something this tall and that needs stability i think they should use HUGE ones

E = 60 Ah x 12 V = 0.72 kWh
Therefore less than 1 kWh is stored in a
fully charged car battery. A typical
Danish family with a daily requirement
of 13,7 kWh kWh per day will thus need
19 fully charged batteries just to cover the
rafnezden1968 1 year ago
A typical Danish family has an energy
consumption of about 5.000 kWh per
year, or about 13.7 kWh per day. A
normal car battery has a capacity of about
60 Ah (Ampere-hours). This means that a
car battery can supply an electrical current
equal to 1 Ampere for about 60 hours
at a battery voltage of 12 Volts. The
energy in a fully charged battery can be
calculated by the use of a simple formula:
rafnezden1968 1 year ago
During the first use of electricity for
lighting and power in the previous
century, systems based on direct current
were used. In DC systems the voltage is
at a constant level. This could be
1.5 Volts (V) as in a modern alarm clock,
12 V as in a car or 110 V as in the first
proper electrical grid.
rafnezden1968 1 year ago
In order to understand how a generator
works, it is necessary to first of all understand
the deeper principles in the
electrical system to which the generator
is connected. Therefore we will first
discuss the electrical systems based on
Direct Current (DC) and those based on
Alternating Current (AC).
rafnezden1968 1 year ago
The generator is the unit of the wind
turbine that transforms mechanical
energy into electrical energy. The blades
transfer the kinetic energy from the
wind into rotational energy in the transmission
system, and the generator is the
next step in the supply of energy from
the wind turbine to the electrical grid.

@kate5134 The blades (as they are intended) are very light and catch the wind easily. If you lifted the blades on the rotor, it could catch the wind and blow the crane over. They are also delicate, so if you clonk one on the frame work, it will break.
As for the rest, well I think that's just being pedantic.

@kate5134 do you really think a hard hat would matter, all that left to do is bolt them in place so i imagine a nut dropped at that height passes through a helmet head, torso and stops some where around the hips.
datzfast 2 years ago
@kate5134 too much weight with the blades... and don't forget... they are in a high wind area, you lift a frame 300 feet wide with no stabilization? ugh!

The highest of these wind energy plants type FL 2500 is about 525 feet high. The rotors are about 330 feet long.

Does anyone know if the gears are carburized, slow cooled, reheated and quenched, or, are they direct quenched after carburize?

@kosmarka Actually, according to the website the FL 2500 is a 2.5MW unit. That makes sense. 2500 = 2.5MW.

Windmills are bad in a way becuase they are taking energy out of the wind and it can negatively effect our climates.

how can you remove energy from the wind? it has no effect on the climate ur a fucking moron
brt927 2 years ago 3
@brt927 wind is air moving. air has mass. a lot of air has a lots of mass. The turbine slows the air down some. the kinetic energy of the air decreases, because some is transported into the blades of the turbine, which spin with this energy. The energy of the spinning blades is converted to electricity by a generator. It doesn't affect the climate, but offsets the energy extracted from coal, which does affect the climate by releasing CO2 and other gases

Rofl you should learn about the subject you're slating, Daniels answer is fairly accurate so you should give it a read or go back to school.

@brt927 Wind is not the actual byproduct of usable and sustainable energy. The wind blades simply turns a power generation turbine housed in the niselle and that sends energy to a generator. The generator sends the energy to a converter located at the base or in some cases at a sites substation. the converter converts the 50 cycle AC current to 60 cycle DC current and then back to AC "usable" current. The wind is simply used as a power source for the turbine to spin and generate energy

@brt927 When you displace energy you remove it from one source and give it to another. You do not know what you are talking about and should not be calling others a moron! You cannot get energy without taking it from somewhere

@brt927 Wow - what an idiot. Where do you think the wind turbine gets its energy from? The WIND. It's converting kinetic energy in the wind to electrical energy.

@brt927 Wow - what an idiot. Where do you think the wind turbine gets its energy from? The WIND. It converts kinetic energy in the wind to electrical energy using the turbine blades and a generator. The wind that passed through the turbine will be moving somewhat slower than the surrounding air.

I wonder how much oil that thing consumes to lub the gear box? Also what is the bird kill rate? And how do you supplement its power when the wind isn't blowing? Would it exist without subsidies? Why did Ireland ban wind power into their grid....and next Spain? Germany certainly removed subsidies and the market crashed over night. Power mgrs. hate wind as it means conventional base load must be increased to take care of business when the wind doesn't blow. Wind BAD! COAL good!
