  • 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

Duponts has made this assessment based on a review of literature on the matter, information of the development gained from the proponent, an informal inspection of the local area, our knowledge of land values in the Scone region and our knowledge of the impact developments of this nature have on land values. BACKGROUND EXISTING WIND FARMS IN NSW There are currently four wind farms operating in NSW including Blayney Wind Farm, Crookwell Wind Farm, Hampton Wind Park and Kooragang Island. In total they generate enough electricity to supply power to approximately 6,000 homes annually. Kooragang Island Crookwell Wind Farm Blayney Wind Farm Hampton Wind Park In 1997 Energy Australia installed 1 wind turbine on Kooragang Island, on the northern side of Newcastle harbour. The wind turbine provides 600kW of energy to Energy Australia’s Pure Energy customers. Crookwell Wind farm has 8 wind turbines located in the southern tablelands of NSW. Opened in 1998 it was the first grid-connected wind farm in Australia. The wind farm has a total capacity of 4.8 MW. The wind farm is currently owned by Eraring Energy.

His clothes, shirt, and skin, were all of the same colour. He has been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put in phials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw inclement summers. He told me, he did not doubt, that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the governor’s gardens with sunshine, at a reasonable rate: but he complained that his stock was low, and entreated me ‘to give him something as an encouragement to ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear season for cucumbers.’ Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels, Chapter 5. 1 This report can be found at www.acola.org.au © Australian Council of Learned Academies Contents Overview ................................................................................................................................................. 3 1.

  • Centralised Mt Wilson/Mt Irvine Power Options Task
    Centralised Mt Wilson/Mt Irvine Power Options Task: The purpose of this short paper is to examine the options for replacing the current Integral power lines with a sustainable power source(s) which will be a central generator which will be dispersed to all the houses in Mt Wilson and Mt Irvine. It is task of others to examine the generation of power on a local (house by house) mode. There appears to only be two general options for generating sufficient power for the community (both Mt Wilson and Mt Irvine), without relying on fossil fuel as currently – wind and solar. Background: The two villages consume about 500KW in average time and have a peak demand of 1MW . Any power solution must be able to provide 1MW continuously. Wind: Integral has installed two wind generators at Hartley. The facts concerning the Hartley wind farm are below: Name: Hampton Wind Park Owner: Hampton Wind Power Company – (Hugh Litchfield) / Wind Corporation Australia (CVC-REEF) / SEDA Installed: 2001 Details: 2 x 660 kW Vestas V–47 turbines Power Output: 1.32 MW, enough energy for approx. 470 homes Dimensions: 74 metres in total height, and with rotors of 47 metres in diameter. Each rotor consists of three blades and rotates at 28.4 revolutions per minute. The rotors do not turn in very low winds. They start turning when the wind sustains 4 metres per second (14 km/h) and reach nominal generation at 13-16 m/s (46-58 km/h). They stop turning at over 25 m/s (90 km/h) to avoid damage.
