Turbine Selection and Layout
22.11.11
Turbine selection has been finalized and final micro siting of wind turbine generators on the site is currently underway. A combination of the GE1.6-100 and the GE 2.75-103 turbines will be used. They have an output capacity of 1.6MW and 2.75MW respectively.
General Electric’s technology has been exhaustively tested and is leading the market in clean, quiet and safe forms of energy generation. Continuing technological research and development have resulted in even quieter and more efficient turbines than ever before.
Extensive data monitoring and wind mapping analysis has yielded detailed information about local wind conditions including wind speed and turbulence. Such information allows micro siting of individual turbines to take place.
Micro siting of a turbine involves assigning an exact position to a turbine Due to complex topography, localised wind conditions can vary greatly within a small area.
Micro siting is therefore of great importance as it ensures a turbine is taking full advantage of the available wind resource, thus maximising power output.
Once turbine locations are set, detailed energy assessments can be conducted to provide accurate information on the total energy production expected from the energy park.
