Biggest wind turbine in the world in 2009

[carburologue]

did you hear about this at belrtl ???
6 megawatts, 50000 to 70000 homes where electricity will be distributed, the largest in the world 198 m ... and all this in Belgium, BUT assembled by Germans ...

Phew! I thought you were going to tell us about a certain politician who is small in size but inordinately tall to stir the air.

belrtl not a letter missing?

[carburologue]

That doesn't interest you more than that ...

[Flytox]

With the spelling you gave, Google gives other results ... not quite the same ... the largest wind turbine is in Germany etc ... and then it puts RTL in full swing

11 wind turbines are scheduled to start producing electricity in 2010.

Hello

Phew! I thought you were going to tell us about a certain politician who is small in size but inordinately tall to stir the air.

it is not a wind turbine, there it is a fan .... with deplorable performance!

++++++++++++++++++++++++

the Golfech nuclear power plant ......
In 2002, the site produced 19,6 TWh
......

there it is a question of production in tera watts, and for wind turbines, the number of homes supplied is added, to give the image that its production is gigantic. moreover for the 2 1300 Mw reactors of the Golfech power station, no less than 430 6 Mw wind turbines would be needed (naturally omitting that there is not always wind to produce).

I have not found any trace of the cost of this wind generator, it would be interesting to know it.

Ah this I answer that the abuse of naivety has been the basis of many defeats and setbacks in the history of humanity ...

What diameter and what speed of rotation? You should know that the speed of sound is easily approached at the end of the blades when you have a large diameter and that poses a big problem. With a supposed diameter of 150 meters we have a circumference of 471 meters and with 0,7 turns per second we reach the speed of sound ...

At the end of the 50s, a wind turbine was built in Nogent le Roi, in Eure-et-Loir, it operated for a very short time because no one had thought that exceeding the speed of sound at the end of the blades would cause their destruction. The info was kept secret and EDF dismantled the "aerogenerator" declaring that the experiment was over.
