Pitch-Controlled Variable-Speed Wind Turbine Generation
www.nrel.govIn the early development of wind energy, the majority of wind turbines were operated at constant speed. Recently, the number of variable-speed wind turbines installed in wind farms has increased and more wind turbine manufacturers are making variable-speed wind turbines. This paper covers the operation of variable-speed wind turbines with pitch ...
Environmental Impacts of Wind Energy
www.jocet.orgwind power is relatively minor. Wind farms are often built on land that has already been impacted by land clearing. The vegetation clearing and ground disturbance required for wind farms is minimal compared with coal mines and coal-fired power stations [7]. If wind farms are decommissioned, the landscape can be returned to its previous condition.
Floating Offshore Wind Vision Statement
windeurope.orgthe wind blows stronger and its flow is more consistent. By using FOW, developers can make use of larger areas avoiding wake effects from nearby wind turbines or other wind farms. Also, larger wind turbines that will be developed in the near future, for example 12-15 MW, can be installed on FOW substructures. The combination of larger wind

Definitions of Availability Terms for the Wind Industry
www.ourenergypolicy.orgSep 08, 2017 · The term “availability,” as used in the wind industry, is a measure of the potential for a wind turbine or wind farm to generate electrical power. If the turbine is “available” and grid-connected, and the wind and other conditions are within the turbine specification, then power will be generated. The availability figure is used
