The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) has announced that it is planning a new wind data measurement initiative.

From Sept. 12-20, the ARL will launch weather balloons carrying small instruments that collect and transmit wind speed, wind direction, temperature and relative humidity data from the Duke Energy Ocotillo Wind Farm, located near Forsan, Texas.

Duke expands wind portfolio with purchase of Kansas project

7/2011

Developer Duke Energy Renewables has purchased the 131MW Cimarron 2 project in Kansas and will build, own and run it after commercial operation begins by June 2012.

Duke and seller CPV Renewable Energy did not disclose financial terms for the deal, which includes a 20-year power purchase agreement with utility Kansas City Power & Light for the wind farm’s entire output.

Texas company plans world’s largest energy-storage system

7/2011

Xtreme Power is aiming for the world's largest energy-storage system to be fully operational at a Texas wind farm in the second half of 2012

The $44m dry-cell battery system will be capable of storing 36MW of power from Duke Energy's 153MW Notrees wind farm in west Texas.

It will discharge energy onto the grid whenever demand for electricity is highest, not just when turbines are operating.

Duke is matching a $22m US Department of Energy (DOE) grant to cover the cost.

"This is the first large energy-storage and power-management system built in the mainland US," Coe says. "It will take intermittent wind and turn it into firm, dispatchable power."

Maximizing Wind Energy Yield

12/2010

by: Greg Efthimiou, Duke Energy

Wind farm operators want to make sure their turbines are reaching their maximum energy-production potential. Duke Energy shares its own substantial experience.

It’s no secret that the overall success of a wind farm is primarily determined by the amount of power it produces, which translates into revenue generation for its owner. Yet the prevailing industry measure of a wind turbine’s performance remains its availability to produce electricity if the wind is blowing. In fact, virtually all original equipment manufacturers base their wind turbine warranties in part or in whole on availability metrics. As a result, technicians at wind farms across the United States often find themselves scrambling to get turbines back online following an unexpected interruption in availability.
