Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6205402
The project is a joint venture between the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the City of Fairfield (the City). The City will sell the electricity to the Mid-Valley Dairy, which is currently under construction, and will sell any excess power produced to Pacific Gas and Electric (PG and E). Upon completion of installation, the City will be responsible for operation, maintenance, and repair of the system. The CEC will provide funds for: the purchase, delivery, and installation of a 25 kilowatt (kW) Carter Model wind turbine; the preparation of the site, including foundation and electrical interconnection; wind turbine performance monitoring; and a public information exhibit. The City will provide: the wind turbine site, including visitor center, parking, and other facilities; a visitor center (self-guiding) located at the Mid-Valley Dairy for the public to view various meters monitoring the wind speed, the wind turbine power output, and a wind turbine graphic display to explain the operation of the wind turbine and to educate the public about wind energy; regular maintenance of the wind turbine and minor repairs as needed; and trained personnel to operate the wind turbine (after an automatic shutdown caused by abnormal conditions, the turbine will be give a thorough inspection).
