Wind
turbines 'less efficient than claimed' - This was one of the headings
that captured me straight away. We are encouraged to go green and then…? Now as
the heading mentioned we are faced with a statement that became instant
fiction!
It is said that: “Wind turbines are 25 % less
effective than the renewable energy industry claims, according to research.”
It is said that majority of wind farms that was
secured, planned and permission granted to go ahead based all the facts, data
and figures on false / inaccurate assumptions. An analysis was done over a twelve month period where the average load factor was well under the percentage figure the industry claims.
Keeping this in mind, how do we move forward making this part of an energy efficient lifestyle? Up to date this is a scientific structure unknown to most. The idea behind it is a unique way of transferring a natural energy source and using it through technology for our own benefit. It is said that no form of electricity works at 100% capacity, 100% of the time... How true that is, only they will know!
“…over the past two years, wind generation across the sites fell below
20MW on 123 separate days for a combined duration of 25 days. For a total of
nine days, output dipped below 10MW, barely enough power to boil 3,300
household kettles.”
