Installation of a GE Wind Turbine 3.6-137: • Witness the Installati...
The stresses on the blade bolts must be phenomenal, this is precision engineering on a massive scale !
I was thinking the same thing. The wings of an airliner are relatively short - and wide at the base - yet the wing-box that secures them is massive. The blades of these monster turbines are long and heavy, yet the 'wing-box' is relatively tiny - something to do with aerodynamics maybe. There have apparently been a few cases of blades detaching and towers buckling under the strain . . .
Does this turbine need batteries to store energy?
please answer me
I remember going to a wind mill in my country when i'm doing the organizer job for the launch ceremonial by our president. From far away it looks tiny, but after you get in the bottom of it, man it beyond explanation, its not only gigantic, but also mark a remarkable achievement for engineering. Especially if I imagine on how the heck those giant can be installed in a mountain and hill, which geographically, I barely can reach it by walking, and those engineers can made it and accomplished the impossible.
I admire current engineers. Outstanding.
Those guys are very brave and have my respect!
These is the place where I wanna work. God bless u.
I was a wind turbine engineer until I fell ill almost two years ago. It's hard, dangerous work, but the pay is good. And most importantly, the work is amazing. I used to call it a playground for adults. I'd highly recommend it!
nice video guys. really liked the video. Appreciated.
Currently working on the installation of these beauties in the US and very glad to be a part of the bright future we bring.
I heard that NASA is using one to try and make contact. Is that true?
Yeah, it is lovely to recycle the turbine blades.
Beautiful!!! We have some large wind turbine "farms" in Minnesota where we get consistent winds. I don't think they as large as this one - maybe 1 M/W each. This is our green future!
Happy to see this kind of project became reality nor than just paper projects
This is amazing; especily in light of so many fighting the technology from being utlized! Clean, effective, renewable! How can anyone in all good conscience fight agaunat it?! 😮 Build Back Better!
at the beginning of the video a person was climbing on a ladder i was shocked that the person is assembling the columns by climbing on ladder! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Nice to see some projects I was involved as designer in real practice! Transport and Lifting tools in particular. See you developed the Tower fixture (MTF) further!
Patrick van der Veen sir is there any kind of vacancies for mechanical fitters , engineer,o&m technician s
Great, amazing and very tall!!
GE ability to remake itself has been extraordinary!!👍⚡️
of course the Netherlands. obviously u guys are experts in it, your famous for makeing windmills since a very long time
Basically it's called wind turbine
And the experts are the Danish. "Vestas" more precisely
@Sam Lutfi GE simply bought French company Alstom which developped this windtrubine : the Haliade X. So it s neither american nor from holland, it s french engineering!
@@bobraimer3662 not really, since it's all based on Danish developmental efforts and technology ...
So at 3.6 MW maximum I would say the average power output would be around 2.0 MW and this turbine is still at a manageable size.
Just more construction work.
Some great renewable projects happening.
😎👍
Build back better!
Amazing
hey. can i use your video for my compilation? You will be credited fully.
This is simply beautiful and fucking complicated at the same time.
Hats of those guys
Amazing engineering.
I absolutely love renewable energy and especially wind turbines! What do I need to do to get a job constructing these mammoth beasts?
Apply with Blattner Energy out of Minnesota 🤙🏻
Undervalued stock.
Incredible turbine. ..really extreme
Terrific!
Does this turbine need batteries to store energy? Who knows the exact answer, please answer me
... and in those days they embraced space age technology. History will praise the innovators.
Thanks
Love my job
Super
Er vikram gunpal its is a my like video so good job
how hight is the blade
Would it be possible for GE to develop a hub that blades can be installed into like ive seen with senvion. Its so much quicker
It seems easy to make
Мужики, это реально круто!
What's the carbon footprint to make and transport it?
Does t better to stay with coal?
ITS SNOW AND RAIN👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤢😱😱😱
Great video 📹 thank you for Sharing Australia 🌏
so what happened to the tower that had the fins round the top two sections that they where building bat the start
Help me to get job there!
1:09 Wiso ohne Handschuhe?
How many turbines per kilometre.
Well, that was fun. When are you doing the 4.8-158?
Genuinely impressive 👏👏
Does anyone know what power (kw) is produced by one of these in normal operation?
And what is the gearbox ratio etc? I.e for one spin of the blades how fast does the generator shaft spin?
Well under decent wind they should produce close to their nominal capacity (3.6MW). Per year, on average, onshore wind produces about 1800 full-load hours, i.e. the average utilisation is about 20% of the nominal capacity.
In sidrap indonesia, it produced 2.5 MW per wtg
Great video. What are the parts spiraling down the top sections of the tower? I haven't seen those before.
They are put in order for the wind to not oscilate the whole tower. When wind blows trough a cylindrical tower it makes it resonate and often brake. Those spirals dissipate the wind
Those are called vortex shedders, also found on on chimmneys to reduce oscilation caused low pressure vortices on the downwind side of the tower.
@@rodon91 fellow windfarmer bud
Best get commercial, they should play on super bowl
I am tripping off acid right now, how did I end up here
Does the top of the wibd turbine come with the gear box and generator already installed
Yes. It is installed A one piece.
Yes and No, Depends on the size of turbine, I just finished A project Of Vestas towers and they required the Gearbox/Main shaft to be installed Separately from the Nacelle
I like wind-turbines, the bigger, the more efficient, the more impressiv, but only 3.6 MW for such a huge turbine?
It's a class III wind turbine, meaning that's it be designed to get more energy from the wind in locations having a lower nominal wind speed, for this purpose they need a bigger rotor.
Pierre Pasquet doesn't this waste materials when you have a massive rotor but only a small generator which can't get all the juice out of the wind? I mean, some share of the rotor then does nothing, just sits idle😕
Karl-Alfred,
the simple fact is this 'huge' turbine will average about 1 to 1.2 Mwatts due to the variability of wind. They seldom reach rated power. In power generation terms it's a toy.
@@iainreid9914 that produce cleaner energy.
Raindrizzle,
a source of energy that requires constant fossil fuel generators running as back up, so not as clean as you might think.
This is good, but we need to consider magnetically levitated wind turbines because they can receive wind from any horizontal direction, they can function properly with wind speeds as low as 3.3 Miles per Hour or as high as 89 Miles per Hour, and best of all, they can be equipped with wind boosters that can multiply wind speeds by 8. One colossal, frictionless wind turbine can match 1,500 wind mills and power 750,000 homes, but take up no more than 2% as much space.
What types of herbal medicine did you smoke, boy?
And where is your 3-MW-prototype running?
This is a genuine question:
I’ve always wondered, if these wind turbines are taking (some of) the energy from the wind, what is the impact downstream of these turbines? Because essentially that wind is taken away from where it would have otherwise ended up.
I would guess that the power (watts) of the wind is so enormous that these take so little there is no discernible impact.
But as we know, taking energy from one place to be used (converted) elsewhere often has an impact.
Anyone have a good answer?
The fact is, wind can't be harvested completely of its energy downstream. According to Betz's law and coefficient, only up to 59.3% of the wind energy can be harvested.
But wind shall always be produced by difference in air density and sun's heat energy.
But thinking of your question, yes. The reduction of wind energy up to the Betz's coefficient should be felt downstream. But what's the use of wind, anyway? Lol
Pollination? Lol
Well, my view is that more wind will he produced downstream, since factors that make wind will always be available.
@@victorbarugahare8328 1) the impact is negligible
2) whatever the impact is, it's rather similar to that of a forest - it slows the wind down, but even a small forest, due to density, will have more of an impact.
I actually build the blades at GE lM
Ciera Coleman -That must be a cool job to have. What kind of material is used to make the blades? I imagine steel would be too heavy, am I right?
@@Bobs2cents fiber glass epoxy... Got from another video
Does anyone know where they were made?
Not sure however; I just this week saw a train with many flatbeds loaded with more of these; was very impressive to see how big they are also how many of them were on the train! "Build back better"!
It must've been a headache maintaining these as snow will eventually build up on the leading edge of the blade
Do they not have heating elements in them? Like aeroplane props.
@@GeeTheBuilder theres a company called wicetec that made one apparently, but it can be quite challenging as these arent made of conductive metal and if you hollowed out a turbine blade wall you will drastically make it more prone to failure, and the thermal gradient will probably promote delamination at the leading edge
@niels lund I say again, maintenance. And I doubt there's no problem there, unless you've made a perfect machine without maintenance
@niels lund effects of low temperature is a design consideration as it will lead to icing problems thus u will need to counteract these effects integrating de-icing mechanism adding complexity. Don't get me wrong im not criticizing wind turbines on these harsh environments im just awed by the fact that this is a challenging engineering problem
@niels lund Although I said initially snow (sorry bout that) im going to correct it to icing problem. I doubt icing is not a significant problem "engineer". Offshore is a different issue
Awestruck
106dBA?? So everyone living by it will slowly go deaf?
Measured at a certain distance, but I think that's just the geartrain, which is 100m up.
I made it with Avasva handbooks !
Anually 12.000.000kWh during 25 years is o.k.
After they failed completly with their fukushima Powerplant construction they build wind turbines now. That is a good idea.
The problem in Fukushima wasn't inherent in the GE reactors. The problem started after the tsunami when the backup cooling pumps were disabled by the flood water. There is a very limited amount of time that any nuclear reactor, even the newest AP1000 design, can safely operate without sufficient cooling water and the power to operate the shutdown commands. That cooling water is the lifeblood of a reactor and if it stops it is akin to cutting your aorta and then complaining that people tend to be in poor health when it happens when their blood pressure drops to zero.
@@epistte several factors caused fukushima.
- Early generation reactor (but unlike Chernobyl, had steel vault surrounding it)
- Poorly designed power backup (they were easily floooded, both generators and batteries)
- Huge >100 year tsunami that has a really low probability and difficult to add into to plans. Ie. seawall had 10m but the wave had 13m.
The operators did the best they could with what they had, but if some errors weren't made, they could've prevented meltdown and subquent hidrogen release that exploded releasing radioactive particles.
Need to do this in the USA to provide jobs for the families of coal workers who are loosing their jobs (which are dangerous as well).
Gunny you posted that; that is exactly what is happening, many coal miners are being trained and this technology is filling in job loss gaps! "Build back better!"
Does anyone know what the cost is of this
About €6m, give or take.
@@bratan_archer how long will it take aprox to pay backiy.
@@terryl858 10-15 years, including maintenance, but this is just a rough approximation.
@@bratan_archer thanks
do 3 ½ years working with these machines both GE Gamesa and enercon montadondo OM
Dont ever work for enercon in Ireland, the team there is a joke, they think they know it all and would shoot you in the back the sec you turn away
GE consider making wind power machine seriously in India. Power is more demand in India than any country
Okay it appears to be a brag-fest! That's alright. n 1978 I drove an electric car and designed and maintained the VAWT wind generator to charge its batteries.
0:00 I swear I've heard this music from a HunterXHunter ad... It's either that or I am losing my mind...
I know more about diy from Avasva handbooks!
Am a mechanical engineer and am so afraid of heights
Lots of jobs in mining, bub.
I love use Avasva Solutions for that issue.
Is a big gamble and it depends on the wind speed in that day is not always windy some days you have no wind and at what speed of wind it needs to start producing power done get wrong please through my experience as an engineer there's better solution for wind turbine that you can build and produce continues power 24/7/365 and much cheaper from what I found out that the price of wind mostly is on propeller and tower 45% this number can be lower almost by 30 to 40%.
That sounds interesting. I hope your prototype shows the results to us soon.
What about noise.? No future for wind turbines with this problem
Don’t mind me just looking for cancer patients
plz
I want to this job please Select me only free don't give me any Salary etc
Religiously brainwashed Kamel herder isn't relevant qualifications... 🐖💨🧕🏿💩🤷🏼
4:23 GWh ? It sould be MWh...
TheJaseku peer yeard sure.
3.6 MW x 24 x 365 = 31,536 MWh = 31.536 GWh
Give a discount of about 50% for low wind.
Hmmm, looks like a HUGE expensive project, probably funded in whole or in part by the Gov.? And, what did it cost to build and how long will it take to pay for itself? Big Gov. funded projects are usually a WASTE of money.
Sounds clueless.
About 250 years, with strong consistent winds
It really depends on the wind speed at location. At 12.5 m/sec it pays itself off in 1 year. At its stated estimate of 7.5m/s that will be 7 years assuming energy price of 12 cents.
Apparently any investment in your education was wasted efforts ..
И сколько же монтажников оттуда @уем,ой,ветром сдуло?!
Capacity Factor 47% is a joke for kids
Hopefully your kids are brighter than their father?
Cost neutral after some SIX MONTH..
@@OmmerSyssel If Renewable and Greta fans say so, hast to be so 🙈😅
Meanwhile in africa.....
It's a losing proposition. Build cost V/Gen revenue. You'll never recover cost.
True but however, recover compensation, yes. It's worth it.
Not true.. costs are below coal. The windparks are nowadays built without subsidy, although the connection to the grid is free
Fact is that, landbased wind turbines are cost neutral after some SIX MONTH!
Keep whining.. 🙋🏼
These windmills are a massive blight on nature. They should be stopped now and removed.
I'm guessing you prefer the good old carbon powerplants?
At least this technology can be completely removed and recycled!
Can you say the same about Deepwater Horizon or Fukushima?
...and all this to replace fossil fuel? You must be kidding🤦♂️😉
You most be suffering from CANCER by wind MILLS. Lol I feel sorry for you mate!
Look at www.vertogen.co.uk
Crap toy.
A Natural gas power plant is the only way to go. These windmills are a joke!
What a waste of money and what an eyesore !! They will be lucky to produce something like 2% of their electricity needs with these. The rest comes from coal, oil and gas. Something has to produce electricity when the wind does not blow or there is no sunshine - Nighttime ?
How is it a waste of money, if they have a high ROI? They even build subsidy free wind parks, so there's money to be made even without government subsidies.
It's also quite funny that you're criticizing the fact that wind turbines need wind, which is an unlimited resource, unlike coal, gas and oil, which we're soon running out of.
Also, did you really call wind turbines an eyesore? Seriously, you must have never seen a fossil fuel plant.
Ever calculated the total destructive influence from catastrophes like Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon?
Clearly you don't have a clue! Or you are a fossil fuel duped anti future for our children low education lemming of the billionaires who charge you soooooo much $ and want to keep you paying them person!
no women wonder why. poe
Such a waste of tax payer dollars at work here. Without federal (your tax dollars) subsidies, none of them would be built. They don't produce enough energy to pay for themselves. Wind doesn't always blow. Zero ROI!!
Dumbarse comment. Do you not realise that in EVERY COUNTRY, coal power plants, hydro power plants, gas power plants, nuclear power plants, solar power plants, have ALL HAD govt subsidies to get started -- ie, partially public start up money for public benefit down the track. Dumbarse.
Should tell that to china. They export wind farm s not singular windmill s
@@thedolphin5428 ok. They can pay for themselves, wind and solar can't because there isn't a return on investment, once the unit doesn't perform to standards they must abandon it. Do you not understand this?
@@terryl858 China is eating our lunch you commie
@@JF32304 So you're saying that all those subsidy free wind farms are bleeding money? Weird, because they're building more and more of them. What about fossil fuels though? I mean coal, oil, and gas were subsidized by $5.9 trillion in 2020 alone.
Another overpriced bird-killer imo.
Do you drive a car? If yes, then you've likely killed more birds than this wind turbine ever could. Sounds like you'll need to sell your car and walk from now on or else you'd be a hypocrite.
Also, how much does this turbine cost and why is it overpriced? :)
