How much electricity does a wind turbine produce?
A single modern wind turbine can produce enough energy to supply up to 3,500 average Western Australia households every year.
What happens at the end of the Ambrosia Wind Farm’s life?
At the end of the Ambrosia Wind Farm projects life cycle, the wind farm will be decommissioned, wind turbines and all above ground infrastructure are removed, and the site rehabilitated to its former land use. Many wind farm components (such as the steel towers) can be recycled, and there is exciting research being conducted into […]
What is the projected life span for Ambrosia Wind Farm?
The Ambrosia Wind Farm is envisioned to operate for 30 years. Nearing the end of this period a decision will be made whether the wind farm will be decommissioned and all infrastructure above the ground removed, or if new turbines will be installed for a further 30 years.
How long does it take to build a wind farm?
The construction timeframe depends on the project size and the number of workers deployed on site. For the Ambrosia Windfarm we are envisioning 24 months for construction of the wind farm including access roads.
Can wind farms be installed anywhere?
Wind farms can be constructed in a variety of locations, but their viability depends on several critical factors. Foremost among these considerations is the presence of strong and consistent wind. Areas with open landscapes such as farmland, coastal regions, and elevated terrains often offer optimal wind conditions for effective energy generation. Geographical features, such as […]
How might wind turbines affect my existing farming activities?
The land required for a wind farm is generally minimal. Land is required for the tower and access roads running between each turbine. The permanent gravel hardstand area around wind turbines is typically 0.25ha (80m x 30m) in size, with temporary laydown areas adjacent to the hardstand typically requiring a further 0.2ha (100m x 20m) […]
How tall are the wind turbines?
Wind turbines can vary in size, however they generally have a tip height between 180 meters to 275 meters in Australia. With approximately 500 to 1,000 metres spacing between each turbine. For the Ambrosia Wind Farm, turbine size and height will be determined following analysis of many factors such as power output, make and model […]
Is my property suited for a wind farm?
When determining whether sites are suitable for wind turbines, we take into consideration a number of factors, including the following: A combination of favourable wind conditions, environmental sustainability, community support, and logistical considerations defines an ideal site for a wind farm. Comprehensive assessments and careful planning ensure the successful development and long-term viability of the […]
How do wind turbines work?
Wind turbines are designed to convert wind into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine blades. Each wind turbine comprises a set of three blades called a rotor which is affixed to the top of a tower. When the wind blows, it sets the rotor into motion, and a steel shaft connects it to a generator […]
