The GE turbines will have a class leading capacity factor virtually doubling the annual energy production for the Northern Extension. This revised scheme will enable the construction of turbines which are more efficient for the wind conditions experienced at the site and would enable the production of electricity equivalent to powering 10,191 homes. This represents an additional 4,532 homes when compared to the previous approved scheme1. 1.3 Application Site 1.3.1 The site is located to the east of Burton Latimer and the south of Cranford St John at NGR 492295, 275599, and to the north of the existing Burton Wold Wind Farm. 1 This is based on output from a GE1.6/100 turbine with 80m hub, certified class IEC IIIB, for the proposed scheme and an Enercon E-70, referenced in the previous planning application, and analysis of wind speed data from the on-site met mast on site during 2007. Annual domestic usage as been assumed as 4.7 MWh/year (Digest of UK Energy Statistics, 2004). Stratus Environmental Limited 2 FR1000/NTS Burton Wold Wind Farm Northern Extension Non-Technical Summary The A14, to the north, and the A6, to the west, separates the site from these built areas. The site context is shown within Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1: Site Context 1.3.2 The land within and surrounding the development site predominantly comprises agricultural farmland used for arable crops. The field boundaries within and around the development site largely consist of hedgerows and ditches and there are small pockets of woodland within and surrounding the site. Residential properties associated with Burton Wold Farm: Wold Lodge, Burton Wold Farm House and Wold Cottages, lie to the south of the proposed development site. Other isolated properties lie to the east and west of the site. 1.3.3 Cranford Landfill Site is adjacent to the northeast of the site which has a permitted lifespan up to 2030, and Barton Plant, an established B2/B8 site, is located to the west. Stratus Environmental Limited 3 FR1000/NTS Burton Wold Wind Farm Northern Extension Non-Technical Summary 2.0 THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 This planning application is for a revised scheme for the Burton Wold Wind Farm Northern Extension. The site currently benefits from extant planning permission for 7 turbines up to 100m to tip (KET/2007/1033). 2.1.2 This revised scheme would comprise the erection, 25 year operation and subsequent decommissioning of nine wind turbines with a maximum overall tip height of up to 132.5m with 30m micro-siting, new and upgraded on-site access tracks, hard standing areas, a control building and cabling. During construction a temporary compound will also be required to house a site office and welfare facilities. The proposed site layout (red) is illustrated in Figure 2.1; the location of the previously consented turbines (blue) is also illustrated within this figure. Figure 2.1: Proposed Site Layout (including location of previously consented turbines) 2.2 Turbine Dimensions 2.2.1 Figure 2.2 illustrates the structure of a typical wind turbine. It is anticipated that the turbine to be installed at the site will be a GE 1.6/100; however, some flexibility needs to be retained as availability may be restricted or newer models may be available. Thus, the hub height and rotor diameter may vary slightly depending on the model of the turbine selected. However, of the chosen wind Stratus Environmental Limited 4 FR1000/NTS Burton Wold Wind Farm Northern Extension Non-Technical Summary turbines, the maximum height to blade tip will be up to 132.5m2, which would equate to an 80m hub and 105m rotor diameter (52.5m blade length). Where a reference turbine was required for noise assessment and power output, the GE 1.6/100 has been used; this turbine has a hub height of 80m, a rotor diameter of 100m and an overall tip height of 130m. Figure 2.2: Typical Wind Turbine Structure 2.2.2 The purpose of the scheme is the generation of renewable electricity with a total capacity of 14.4MW (based on a GE 1.6/100 turbine). However, the final turbine decision will be based on availability and advances in technology and thus general dimensions are applied; (this is a typical accepted approach for wind turbine developments). 2.3 Site Access 2.3.1 The development will utilise the existing access point, at Wold Road, off the A510. 2.3.2 General construction materials are proposed to be transported to the development site via the A14, before existing at junction 11 onto the A510 and turning right into the existing site access. Abnormal load vehicles will be required for delivery of 2 The maximum height of the wind turbine measured from ground level to the blade tip when the blade is in a vertical position.

  • Renewable Energy: Wind Farm Perspectives – the Case of Africa
    Renewable Energy: Wind Farm Perspectives – The Case of Africa Yohannes Yihdego1, Hilmi S. Salem2*, and Musa Yahaya Pudza3 1Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC), Sydney, New South Wales 2060, Australia 2Sustainable Development Research Institute, Bethlehem, West Bank, Palestine (Occupied) 3Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Received October 31, 2017; Accepted December 18, 2017 Abstract: This paper is on the push and choice for a greener and environmentally sustainable energy, particularly wind energy. A single wind turbine produces a limited amount of carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle. By taking a broader view, wind energy farms (or wind farms) have collectively a greater impact upon the environment and economy. Recent research on wind farms tends to focus on energy-generated modelling for the cushioning and mitigation of the climate-change malady, hence to enable accurate prediction of power generation. This paper presents an approach to wind energy, with respect to: (i) carbon emissions and intensity; (ii) potential energy production; (iii) return on economic investment; and (iv) payback-time from an early design perspective. The overall contribution of this work is to develop an approach to enable the selection of “greener” options represented in renewable energy sources, particularly the wind energy, with the focus on economic feasibility assessment and environmental impacts. This study represents, to top-management, industrialists (such as wind-turbines’ manufacturers), environmentalists, and engineers, as well as to wind-energy services’ providers, research scientists, and policy- and decision-makers, an assessment of the choices and options of wind-energy provision and in investing in its industry and development, as a clean and sustainable technology to generate electric power.

  • Milton Keynes Wind Farm Non Technical Summary
    Milton Keynes Wind Farm Non Technical Summary Preface The Environmental Statement (ES) summarised here, has been prepared in support of a planning application submitted to Milton Keynes Council (the “Council”) in August 2006 for the Milton Keynes Wind Farm (the “Proposal”). The ES has been prepared and compiled by E4environment Ltd (E4e), an independent environmental consultancy, on behalf of MK Windfarm Ltd (as the Applicant) and Your Energy Ltd (as the Developer). The Proposal is on farmland comprising Petsoe Manor Farm, 2.5km east of the village of Emberton, and is for the purpose of generating electricity from wind energy. The ES is presented in three main volumes, namely: Volume 1 – Non Technical Summary The non technical summary (NTS) presents a summary of the Proposal, its likely environmental impacts and proposed mitigation. Volume 2 – Written Statement main text The written statement comprises: • An introduction and description of the Applicant/Developer and the scoping and consultation process; • The reasons for the site selection and a description of the Proposal. Then for each environmental issue identified through the scoping and consultation process the following is provided: • A description of the prevailing baseline conditions; • An assessment of the likely affects of the Proposal during construction and operation; • The mitigation measures proposed to avoid, minimise or compensate for possible adverse environmental effects. Volume 3 – Figures Volume 3 comprises the figures which show the site location, site layout, wind farm construction details, landscape character, photomontages, wireframes, and maps exhibiting the zone of visual influence (ZVI), sites of ecological and archaeological significance, and noise monitoring locations.
