The display includes walkways that align with the wind turbine's shadow at solar noon and two hours, eleven minutes after solar noon, respectively. On the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the wind turbine's shadow also aligns with the walkways by length. [29] Thus the wind turbine functions as a large gnomon in an incomplete sundial. The display ...

The MOD-2 wind turbine cluster of three turbines produced 7.5 megawatts of power in 1981. In 1987, the MOD-5B was the largest single wind turbine operating in the world with a rotor diameter of nearly 100 meters and a rated power of 3.2 megawatts. It demonstrated an availability of 95 percent, an unparalleled level for a new first-unit wind ...
Wind turbine at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland. In June 2010, General Electric, in cooperation with the Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation, announced the first freshwater-offshore wind turbine initiative in North America, a $100 million pilot project. [126] [127] The project will also include California-based Bechtel. [128]
The Blue Creek Wind Farm spanning Paulding and Van Wert County became the largest wind farm in the U.S. state of Ohio at approximately 40,500 acres upon its completion in 2012. With a generating capacity of 304 megawatts (MW), it produces enough electricity to service the equivalent of about 76,000 homes.
The San Francisco system was the first case of a utility selling electricity from a central plant to multiple customers via distribution lines. [11] The California Electric Light Company (now PG&E) [13] [14] purchased two generators from Charles Brush's company in 1879 and soon opened a second plant with four additional generators.
