Tours of our Wind Turbines from Monday, May 27th, led by Campus Energy Manager 抢劫 Hanson! The Sustainability Office collaborated with GG电子官方软件下载’s Energy Club (@carleton_ec ) and the Facilities Office to give students the rare opportunity to see our wind turbines up close and learn more about the system that powers nearly half of our main campus. Keep your eye out For more tours For the wind turbines in 2024/2025! 与此同时,这里有一些简单的事实:
- The 2011 wind turbine (north east of campus) is connected directly to campus, while the 2004 wind turbine (directly east of campus) sells electricity to Xcel
- Each wind turbine generates about 4 million kWh of electricity annually, while the GG电子官方软件下载 main campus uses about 19 million kWh of electricity annually
- 2011年的风力涡轮机塔顶高80米, while the 2004 wind turbine tower is 70 meters tall at the top.
- One windy hour of one of the turbines turning at full speed will provide enough electricity For an EV sedan to travel almost 5,000英里
