Wind Farm
From MoxyWiki
General Description
This plant is a representation of a generic wind farm. It can be used in circumstances where information about a specific plant's operational characteristics are unknown and need to be estimated. These generic figures apply best to plants that can be described by the following points:
- The plant is located in a developed country with access to resources such as transport and utility infrastructure. It is also reasonably close to an urban center.
- The plant is on-grid (in the sense that is it connected to a much larger electrical network, and is not contributing more than a few percent to total generation), and does not require extensive additional infrastructure to connect to this grid
- The plant operates in relatively moderate temperatures and environmental factors
