Actually the largest at the moment is Bhadla Solar Park in India, there’s meant to be a humongous park called Gonghe Talatan in the future but no further information on it at the moment.
For all those LIARs talking about dead Birds. These 100m plus giants are way too slow to kill birds. Even the wing tips are traveling at a speed slow enough for Birds to avoid. Your are ignoring the physical limits of how fast big things can move.
The blade tips on most turbines are travelling at speeds only just subsonic.. they are kind of an optical illusion in a way... I agree tho cos realistically there are more birds killed by cars than wind turbines.. somebody will always find something to complain about 😂😂
Small Fraction of the equivalent amount of electricity over 20 years coming from the highest tech Gas Turbine. This is due the Massive power output and stable generation of a Wind Turbine at the 100 meter plus scale. The R.O.I. gets better when Electric production is massive.
It won't. The estimated total annual generation is based on 'capacity factor' which differs depending on location. In the North Sea (between Britain and Europe), the capacity factor is around 0.50. With that capacity factor, it will produce 66 GWh/year. In other locations it could be a little more or a little less.
@@pjacobsen1000 Are there figures for capacity factor readily available for other areas ? There are longer term drifts in capacity too. I recall a recent year for wind generation in the UK showed output around 10% down on the predicted amount.
@@grahamstevenson1740 I think you can find wind maps online, but capacity factor is not an exact science (actually, not a science at all, just collecting data). For example, wind speed increases as you go higher up, so a high turbine will have a higher factor than a lower one. Yes, there are also variations from year to year, but I think they measure the average over several years. Nevertheless, of course there will be instances where there is no wind at all in British waters, so we definitely need a backup, at least for the foreseeable future.
@@rick4922 They are designed for 25 years, but usually last more than 30. However, because it is a rapidly evolving industry, this gigantic generator will seem small after just 20 years and it will be a better investment to pull it up and install newer ones.
They never replace the blades. The entire structure will reach the end of its life after 25-30 years. Then it will be replaced by much, much bigger, and fewer turbines.
You will be amazed to hear that the UK has an offshore wind pipeline of 100 GW = 100,000 MW!!!! That means that ~6600 of the 15 MW offshore wind turbines are already planned! Energy will be very cheap and abundant going forward! PS: The global offshore wind pipeline is 1.23 TW = 1,230 GW = 1,230,000 MW = 82,000 of these wind turbines
The estimated annual generation takes into account the days/hours when the wind doesn't blow. In the rare cases where there's no wind at all in your local area, you can rely on good old coal, nuclear, gas.
That is a myth. Wind turbines are not that bad - and they also do not cause cancer, just in case you're one of those buying more of what trump is selling.
"Taller than Big Ben" Okay someone that claims to be into construction should know that's not what the tower is called. Big Ben is the bell, the tower is called Elizabeth Tower.
Exactly my thoughts when hearings those ridiculous comparisons. Why don't they compare to bakeries, then? You know how much energy those bread shops cosnume? A LOT!
However, what was the carbon emission and waste production of which how much was non biodegradable... Then what was the actual benefit, my guess would be the waste, gas emission and solid state and fluid, outweighs what the windmill could recoup in its life time of generation. Then when it's no longer functioning, then what happens with all that material?
No Diesel engines were manufactured before March 1898, even the first prototype only ran 5 years earlier. How did the world function before that?? In the real world Diesels are not the only source of power & never have been.
Now explain to everyone how long the blades last and then tell everyone that these blades are NOT able to be recycled and instead, once they are no longer usable, have to be buried somewhere like all other similar blades. Disgusting. The lies they tell.
Absurd lies, these blades are mostly WOOD by volume. It's just the outer skin layer of Resin which is not recyclable, that is a tiny tiny fraction of the turbine. Obvious all the Metal Structure is recyclable which is the heaviest resource cost. You are the propagandist spamming LIES.
Capable, but will never operate past 20 percent capacity, these things are a scam, go look up how many non recycled turbine blades they bury every year.
they're recycling blades now & the *only* reason they're not running at 100% capacity right now is the Grid selecting other resources. Stop with the oil-company BS propaganda.
@@alanhat5252 Lol who's the true believer here? Turbine blades are laminated carbon fiber, aka oil products, and impossible to recycle once cured. The grid selects? Haha wind turbines only work in a narrow range of light winds all other wind speeds they shut down and produce nothing, which is 80% of the time. And we haven't even started talking about the 1000s of birds each one kills yearly.
And they have to shut them down when the wind blows too hard (such when a cold front blows in, when you really need, the extra power) so it doesn’t overwhelm the system.
How many birds do coal power plants kill every year? oil drilling sites? Ecosystem destruction from their pollution? From climate change? How many are killed by your car every year? The glass windows of the building you work in and your house?
CO2 is plant food. Thousands of years ago CO2 was greater than today. It's not a bad thing. Stop listening to the go Green and save the planet scam. Google it yourself.
What is the carbon footprint for the raw materials etc? What is it's life expectancy? What is the cost per kw hour? What subsidies are levied on consumers? How do you recycle it?
So it was made in a plant using fossil fuel, parts made with fossil fuel, transported by boats and vehicles using fossil fuel, but is environmentally friendly. Do you see the irony?
Absurd LIES! These 100m plus giants spin very slowly. Even the wing tips travel at too slow a speed for birds to get hit. Birds can freaking land on small Branches blowing in the wind, these are way slower.
No wind, no power, didnt Germany spend months over the Winter when their winds are minimal, yes, we always need to minimize our impact on the environment, but we need to tell all truths also, no way of storing power yet, so!!!
Tons of steel, 100s, tons of concrete, 100s,rare earth metals, mostly illegally mined, ships, trucks, all CO2, and manufactured with fossil fuel, & not recyclable, build more😂

They never replace the blades. The entire structure will reach the end of its life after 25-30 years. Then it will be replaced by much, much bigger, and fewer turbines.
A 30 ft version with multiple blades has been developed in France. Why isn't the global community using that design?
@@terryhuffaker3615 Perhaps it's not as good. Any new design that can make you more money will invariably conquer the market.
