Baltic 1 Offshore Wind Farm • first commercial offshore wind farm of Germany in the Baltic Sea • located about 16 kilometresnorth of the Darss- Zingst Peninsula • covers about seven square kilometers • 48.3MW wind farm. • work started in July 2010; officially commissioned on 2 May 2011 • Baltic 2: 288 MW from 80 turbines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_1_Offshore_Wind_Farm

wind = a low cost, low maintenance energy production method • wind energy works by using natural wind movements, capturing it as kinetic energy through turbine blades, then converting the kinetic energy into electricity through an • electro magnetic generator at the • top of the turbine • electricity output depends on different aspects: • 1. location (how much wind • there is), • 2. turbine size and style, • 3. rotar diameter • How does wind energy work
How much electricity can a turbine produce? • 1 wind turbinegeneratesenergyfor a smalltown • (at a capacityof 5 MW itgenerates 17 millions kWh per year = consumptionof 4.900 householdswith 14.600 people) - depends on thesizeandpossiblecapacityof a wind turbine (example: wind turbineof a capacityof 2,5 MW 5 mill. kWh/year) - also dependson the wind speed needat least 3 to 4 m/s; wind speedover 25m/s turbinesareswitched off
