Does your wind farm have performance anxiety? At 8:30 a.m., Feb. 7, 44 out of 45 wind farms in Alberta could not perform. You are not alone. But there is a solution. Just two gensets like the one seen here could have matched the output of the entire wind...
Wind power generation in Alberta has flatlined twice in as many days, and as weather patterns typically flow from west to east, Saskatchewan has seen similar conditions. On Sunday, Feb. 4, Alberta saw wind power generation fall to 15 megawatts during the supper hour....
Where are we going? Lower! That was the trend for wind power production in Alberta on Monday, Feb. 5, as the 4,481 megawatts of nameplate wind power generation capacity fell to just three megawatts output. That’s less than 0.1 per cent, or less than 1 one-thousandth...
The day after Alberta had four days in a row “grid alerts” for its electrical system due to the utter collapse of wind and solar power, and the lack of dispatchable baseload power, Rachel Notley took credit for expanding renewables and getting rid of coal....
UPDATE: By 7:28 a.m., wind output fell to less than 1 per cent of capacity One of the first lessons any new engineering student learns in their materials class is “cold brittle behaviour” of materials. When it gets really cold, like -30 C or colder, many...
