Wind-Powered Generation of Electricity

The location of ITER is ideally suited for wind-powered generation. The land covers an area of 365,000 square metres. It has a high average wind speed of 7.5 m/s . There is a experimental platform, where new turbines are tested and developed. The average energy output is 7 MWh. There is also a wind park, consisting of 30 wind turbines, of 300 kW each. There are two other wind park areas , one consisting of 11 wind turbines of 500 kW of power each. It is connected to the electrical grid for the island. Another development consisting of Enercon wind turbines between 5000 and 1 MW nominal power.

All these photographs were taken at the Institute for Renewable Energy, (ITER), Parque Eolico de Granadilla, Tenerife, Canary Islands. This is the technological walkway area, an interactive exhibit area showing the potential for renewable energy resources on Tenerife, and other local islands. A photovoltaic solar cell array is located on the roof of the headquarters.
the area covered is 210 square metres, giving an annual production of 61 MWh of electrical energy.

Webworld 4 : Tenerife Resources

As part of the Tenerife Project, described in Webworld 2 , the following photographs were taken by members of staff and students during visits to Tenerife in 1998 and 1999. The photographs are offered free to the internet community. They are intended for educational use only, for students and teachers in educational establishments. They are not intended for commercial use, or to sold or used used in collections for the purpose of generating income. Use your 'mouse' to copy them and save them to your computer. It would be exceptionally nice of you if you could indicate the origin of these photographs if you use them !
