Spinning Blades for Energy

Wind Farms Spining blades of energy How do they work? As wind blows over the blades, it creates "lift" and begin to turn. 2 The spinning rotor blades turn the low speed shaft 30-60 times every minute. WIND Low speed shaft Gearbox The gears in the box connect spin the high-speed shaft to 1000 to 1800 rotations Rotor per minute. Rapid spins drives the generator to produce electric power. High speed shaft Generator The electrical output from the generator is connected a control system and an electrical grid. Base station Power grid Transformer Substation Dimensions Nacelle with Gearbox and Generator Rotor blades can be 200 feet long Rotor Diameter -Tower The weight of a turbine can Hub height can be as tall go from 164 to 334 tons as 20 stories Crane mats are needed to stabilize the ground due to the large amount of weight being transported when assembling the turbines. Windmills of the world Vestas V164 8MW The largest turbine model built to date, notable features include a 80 metre-long blades and a lightweight nacelle design. Outwood post mill Built in 1665 in Outwood Surrey, this is Britain's oldest working windmill. It was once one of a pair, the other collapsed in 1960. Holland's windmills The Netherlands are so closely associated with windmills that they have become part of their national identity.
