Any turbine generating electricity has the issue of speed control. notably preventing over-speeding in the event that the current draw is less than the turbine is trying to provide. The engineering design must have means to prevent it of course. I've no clue what the means is for a wind turbine, I suppose it would have to be feathering the blade because a mechanical brake would have massive heat to dissipate. For consulting engineering field I was in the elevators dumped the electricity into a resistor bank to control speed if there was insufficient demand for the electricity being generated by the elevator.

Why would it not travel faster than the wind? Wind is continuously generating lift on these blades, imparting energy. Keep in mind, the blades are not pushed by the wind, they use the same principle as wings, which is lift. This is the same principle that allows a sailboat to sail faster than the wind Explaining lift is outside of the scope of a KZread comment so I encourage you to look it up! Besides, just for the sake of the experiment, you could get the tip of a blade to travel faster than wind speed even if you used drag, the same way the pouch of a sling travels much faster the arm imparting the motion: Have a blade with a very large surface area at the base thinning out dramatically until it reaches a very thin tip. position the turbine such as the flat of the blade is perpendicular to the wind flow. The air will exercise a lot of force on the base until the base moves close to wind-speed, as it is doing so the tip of the blade will move much faster than windspeed. Obviously this would be useless and even wasteful if your goal were to generate power.

@@spinnymathingy3149 As louis said, wind turbines use the principle of lift instead of the principle of drag to harvest energy from the wind. So the wind isnt pushing the blades, rather does the flow of wind over a blade create a force on the blade due to its particularly shaped cross section (-> lift). this is why the blades dont turn with the direction of wind (they would have to turn into the wind again 180° later, to be able to turn with the wind again, which of course is not a really efficient way to harvest wind energy.) rather the blades rotate on a perpendicular plane to the flow of wind and use lift just like airplane wings so they can harvest wind energy from the continually passing wind and use that lift to induce a momentum on the rotor. this also enables wind turbines to spin a lot faster on their outer edges then the flow of the wind itself, because if you use lift instead of drag, the limiting factors to your rotational speed become material stress due to centrifugal forces or the limits of gearbox, generator, etc.. in addition, wind turbines actually get more efficient the faster their blades travel in comparison to the wind because of fewer losses due to flow swirl after the turbine (which is counterintuitive at first). so to summarize for less brain pain: :D - wind turbine blades use lift - rotational speeds created by lift are not limited to the speed of wind itself - wind turbines that turn more quickly on their outer radius relative to the wind are actually more efficient - wind turbines are amazing machines, have fun investigating!

@@spinnymathingy3149 happy if that could help you :). Regarding air resistance: airplane wings for example travel at comparable speeds. the thin airfoils on blade tips have way less air resistance than a car for example. to put that into numbers: i think the drag coefficient of modern cars is around 0.3-ish, the drag coefficient of the outer portion of a wind turbine blade should be around 0.01-ish. Those are just educated guesses but the real numbers should be around those values. so its no wonder they can go alot faster than cars as drag is proportional to the drag coefficient. ;)

You need to be at the turbine to eyeball rotor position relative to the locking pin holes to properly lock and you would only do this when performing an isolation to repair inside rotating element of the drivetrain. Locking the rotor in high winds or at any point of time really is not desirable. You feather the blades any yaw out the wind direction and let the rotor idle. Lpcking it leads to stand still marks in the main bearings given the mass of the rotor hanging off those bearings. Plus, you eat up the fatigue life in the tower, TP and MP since the rotor idling provides some aerodynamic damping. One of the worst design load conditions we consider is a locked rotor which you try to minimise at all costs throughout the operational life.

Low Efficiency for all wind turbines around the world no exception. Since 1919, German physicist Albert Betz declared that the limit for the theoretical maximum efficiency for a wind turbine is 59 % or a factor of 0.59. Today in 2021, more than 100 years later, we still cannot even reach the efficiency of 50%, even with all the powerful computation resources and sophisticated CFD models, and millions spent on building turbines. Most engineering books still tell us 0.40 as a practical efficiency of wind turbines, with the same limit being used for tidal turbines. If we continue to do the same thing over the next 100 years, Mr. Betz would come out of the grave and laugh at us. Maybe the limit is not right, but if we cannot even reach at least 50% efficiency, or figure out what is wrong, the rest of the effort would be futile.

@@TAttiusMaximvs i agree but you do have to dig for all the copper ore and steel ore melt it and refine to the power generator motor ya need to make the energy plus lithium requirements are not the m be ost environmentally friendly as well. I am all for green energy and there are many ground breaking things on the horizon but asking questions of what after seems to be taken as hostility against green energy. No motor or solar panels last for ever so when millions are needed to be recycled and replaced what are the steps in place (right now nothing we are struggling to get standardized rules in manufacturing and disposal but it a lot of gray area out there) Hope ya having a awesome day love talking to fellow thinkers. 🖖

This may be good for the stock if they close all the deals

Wow 5% of the UK energy out put from wind by 2026 that’s brilliant! 💨

No, they are already at 40%. This is just an additional 5%.

The biggest wind turbine is not the GE Haliade. It is the Vestas 15 MW, with a rotor diameter of 236 m

We’ve destroyed our land enough! We must reach out into the oceans and plant our electric trees!! We shall disturb ocean currents and migration paths and drape our green energy extension cords across miles of habitat! Yay for the environment!

1:51 offset 9,000 cars per year. Does that mean in the first year it offsets 9,000 cars, the second year it offsets 18,000 cars, finally offsetting 180,000 cars in its 20th year? If true, then one turbine could replace all cars worldwide given enough time? That does not make sense to me.

It offsets an amount of carbon equivalent to the emissions of 9000 cars during a year. So no, the second year it would still be offsetting the same emissions of the same 9000 cars as it did in the first year.

Yeah and this Halaide X isn't on the market yet. Plus GE are newcomers to offshore wind. Both SGRE and Vestas have more powerful turbines in the works

I think windmills are pretty neat but it seems like there are still a lot of obstacles they need to get over before we can put all our hopes on them. Things like the infrastructure required to put them in efficient spaces or the disposal of the fiberglass blades. I’ll be curious to see what the engineers behind them will do.

Whats the carbon footprint of making one of those?

La respuesta de General Electric a la crisis energética de Europa

Wind turbines are great for putting in at sea - but no-one wants to live within a KM of a wind turbine on land - the noise will drive you crazy. We have around 10,000 wind turbines installed in the UK, the Labour Party wants to put in 7,000 more on land and 2,000 at sea, borrowing around £400 BILLION to start the ball rolling. What it fails to say is who will own these 9,000 wind turbines.

Not sure how many typhoons strike anywhere near Europe....

We need hundreds of these in Bangladesh.
