THE
WINDMILLS AT KINGSMOUNTAIN
|
| |
The
windmills are located on Kingsmountain near Dromore
West and consists of ten 2.5MW Nordex turbines (25MW
in total).
The wind farm produces enough energy to serve over
15,000 homes, and saves the release of over 66,000
tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. The turbines are
connected via underground cables to a small substation
located on the windfarm. The cables are routed underground
to a substation over 19km away. Here the voltage is
transformed to 110kV and connected to the transmission
network.
Such is the scale of the project at Kingsmountain
that the crane used to instal the spire in Dublin's
O'Connell Street was also used for the erection of
the wind turbines. |
