Wind Turbines Supplied 99% of Scotland Electricity Demand Last Month

According to WWF Scotland, the Scottish wind turbine was driven by Hurricane Ophelia and cited data gathered from WeatherEnergy and sent more than 7 million megawatts of electricity to the National Grid in October.

In October the total electricity consumption of Scottish families, businesses and industries was about 75 million megawatt hours. This means that the wind turbine made up 99% of the nation's electricity demand.

By looking at only the family, enough electricity was supplied to 5 million homes by wind power last year. This is almost twice the actual number of families in Scotland.

Gina Hulahan, Scottish agent policy director of the Worldwide Foundation, stated: Association

"Fortunately, our infrastructure adequately responds to windy weather, which is enough to nearly double the number of Scottish families, almost all of the electricity demand will increase doing."

At this point on October 2, wind power had produced enough electricity to supply electricity to 116 million homes.

"We are shocked by that data but for many years they have become part of a growing green electricity production model thanks to the political support of Scotland Renewable energy is the power throughout the year It accounts for over half of the demand. "At that time

However, as Huffington Post Britain points out, these figures are impressive, but the problem with so many winds is not to waste as all wind energy needs to be distributed. In order to solve this problem, Scotland can probably get pages from Germany and its grid operators sometimes supply electricity to customers as its renewable energy portfolio is producing such a large amount of electricity I have to pay.

Another approach is to expand the emerging grid-scale storage industry. The Scottish government began attempting to use Hywind Scotland, the world's first floating wind power plant officially released last month. The farm is combined with Batwind of the National Oil Company of Norway, a lithium battery that stores electricity at 1 megawatt hour. Then it helps to intermittently ease and optimize the output.

Although not megawatt-hour, HuffPo UK noted, "About the capacity of more than 2 million iPhones -" This is the first step in introducing a large-scale renewable energy battery solution. "

As WeatherEnergy's Karen Robinson said, "October is an unusual moon and provides more evidence that more investment in renewable energy and storage is a future path."

The first wind power generator was a charger set up by the Scottish scholar James Blyth in July 1887 to illuminate the villa in Marykirk, Scotland. A few months later, American inventor Charles F. Brush consulted with local college professors and colleagues Jacob S. Gibbs and Brinzley Coal Bird and succeeded in getting peer reviewed blueprints in Cleveland, Ohio . . In the UK Blyth's turbines are not considered economical, but wind turbines are more cost-effective in countries with more population distribution.

Wind can affect power generation. After the energy crisis of the 1970s wind turbines were seen as a source of electricity. Turbine is considered to be a clean and efficient power generation method, and wind speed of 5 to 45 knots (6 to 52 mph) is required. If the wind is too light, the blade will not rotate and no electricity will be generated. If it is too high, the turbine may be damaged. Today, wind farms are in many parts of the country, the wind is relatively stable.

A wind turbine such as a propeller blade of an aircraft rotates moving air and powers a generator that supplies electric current. Simply put, wind turbines are the opposite of fans. Wind turbines do not use electricity to make wind and use wind to make electricity. Wind winds the blade, rotates the shaft, connects the generator, and generates electricity. Modern wind turbines fall into two broad categories; the type of horizontal axis like a traditional farm windmill for pumps and the kind of egg Darius model named after their French inventor Such a vertical axis design. The latest and largest wind turbine is a horizontal axis turbine.
