  • Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts
    Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts 1 INTRODUCTION Wind farms produce clean energy, generate jobs and income in regional areas and have minimal environmental impacts if appropriately located. Wind farms are now increasingly commonplace and accepted by communities in many parts of the world, but they are quite new to NSW. To increase community understanding and involvement in renewable energy, the NSW Government has established six Renewable Energy Precincts in areas of NSW with the best known wind resources. As part of the Renewable Energy Precincts initiative, the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) has compiled the following information to increase community understanding about wind energy. The technical information has been reviewed by the Centre for Environmental and Energy Markets, University of NSW. The Wind Energy Fact Sheet is a shorter and less technical brochure based on the Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts. The brochure is available for download at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/climatechange/10923windfacts.pdf. For further renewable energy information resources, please visit the Renewable Energy Precincts Resources webpage at http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/climatechange/reprecinctresources.htm. 2 CONTENTS CONTENTS ...............................................................................................................3 WIND FARM NOISE ..................................................................................................4 WIND TURBINES AND SHADOW FLICKER...........................................................11

  • White Rock WF EA April 2011 Page 143-210
    143 Environmental Assessment 10.2 Communication Impacts 10.2.1 Background Wind turbines have the potential to interfere with television and radio broadcasting, mobile phone reception, microwave links and other radio links such as mobile and CB radio. There are three mechanisms by which wind turbines may cause interference: reflection or scattering, diffraction and near field effects. • Reflection or scattering – occurs when a signal becomes obstructed between the transmitter and a receiver, this could be due to a tower or moving blade component as shown in Figure 10-5. • Diffraction – occurs when a signal is both absorbed and reflected by an object in the signal path. • Near field effects – are caused by electromagnetic fields. This is no longer an issue due to advances in wind turbine technology and compliance with Electromagnetic Emission Standards. A communication impact assessment report was prepared by Epuron. The objectives of this investigation were to identify the potential for impacts from the proposed White Rock Wind Farm on existing telecommunications services in the vicinity of the project, and to identify appropriate mitigation strategies for potential impacts. The full investigation including a glossary of acronyms used in the investigation, maps, footnotes and references is presented in Appendix 6. The following approach was adopted to identify the potential impact of the project on telecommunications: • Identify holders of telecommunications licenses (under the Radiocommunications Act 1992) within a 25km radius of the project, as well as point-to-point links in the vicinity of the project, using information provided on the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) RADCOM database. • Provide written notification of the project and seek comments from each license holder identified via the ACMA RADCOM database search.

  • Windflow Technology: Interim Report 2010
    Windflow Technology: Interim Report 2010 Overview – Windflow’s major achievements in the first half of the 09/10 financial year were: • Installing and commissioning the remainder of Stage 3 to take Te Rere Hau (TRH) wind farm to a total of 65 turbines. • Delivering TRH turbines operating availability to above 93% for calendar 2009, and starting 2010 above 95% availability. • Submitting (as part of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Type Certification) the final documents to Lloyds Register in Britain for Class 1A Design Evaluation of the Windflow 500. • Gaining resource consent to develop the 25 turbine Long Gully wind farm in Wellington. Financial Results - Windflow continued to produce a positive gross profit for the half year. Consolidated revenue for the six months was $13.597 million (compared with $11.834 million for the previous comparable six month period). Direct production costs including turbine costs for the same period were $12.694 million (compared with $10.841 million for the previous year) resulting in a gross profit of $0.903 million for the period compared with $0.993 million for the previous year). The result is that Windflow has recorded a half-year loss of $1.628 million (compared with $ 1.082 million last year). Cash held at 31 December 2009 was $2.034 million, a reduction of $9.693 million for the six months. The reduction in cash held is attributable to an anticipated cash outflow during the latter stages of production, the dispute with NZ Windfarms, and some production related timing impacts. Windflow expects to generate a cash surplus from operations over the coming period with a corresponding improvement in its cash position.

The AEMC appointed consultants to develop a long-term generation expansion plan for meeting the LRET. Consequently, the ‘core’ scenarios for the portfolio and geographic distribution of technologies have been determined. ROAM Consulting was subsequently appointed to utilise these scenarios to forecast the cost of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), Network Support and Control Ancillary Services (NSCAS) and transmission augmentation associated with the LRET for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
