T...Damn, almost forgot why I started rambling here. The energy produced by an induction machine rotating at nonsynchrous speed is coupled to a 60 Hz electric grid by way of power electronics-based converters, which have high levels of harmonics associated with them. These harmonics are claimed by some to be the source of a host of health issues, for which there seems to be a lot of theoretical support. The same type of complaints plagued and continue to plague the forced deployment of "smart meters."<br /><br />- Cal (again)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-42911948774319775812016-11-28T18:49:58.317-08:002016-11-28T18:49:58.317-08:00As a system planner for a big investor owned elect...As a system planner for a big investor owned electric utility in CA (whose views on the issue are theirs as these are mine, disagree as they may, etc.), I've been to the GE plant in Schenectady and stood inside the nacelle of one of the big 2 MW jobs. Pretty impressive piece of machinery, I must admit, and definitely built here in the USA as we all know by now. Too bad it won't run without a lot of grease in the form of subsidies. And too bad these technologies (including solar, biomass conversion, energy efficiency...) can't find a solid footing based on market forces and a widespread desire for individual (not collective) energy independence instead of phony extinction-level catastrophe hype. There really is a lot of good work to be done there, just not where, when, and how the central planners, heavily invested as they are in this cockamamie scheme, would have you believe.<br /><br />But I find it oddly amusing, all this talk of bird whacking by the damned if you do, damned if you don't, greenies. They want renewable energy integration at any cost except the actual cost that has to be paid when these plans go through. When they were building the Coloseum (sic) plant, a massive solar thermal monstrosity just west of Laughlin, NV, they were paying $10k a head to "relocate" desert tortoises, I shit you not. And the damned thing is now in the cross hairs because birds fly through the reflected and highly concentrated sunlight aimed at the collector tower and land feathered and roasted to perfection.<br /><br />What're ya gonna do?<br /><br />- CalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-75053450927645135582016-11-25T09:21:01.114-08:002016-11-25T09:21:01.114-08:00I've read several accounts of health issues in...I've read several accounts of health issues in humans living nearby to the windmills.

Granted the individual components may not be made here in the US (they come from China, Japan and Germany, even the screws, bolts, washers, and nuts), but we here in Pensacola, Fl at the GE Renewables plant, take those components and make the final Windmill products. Now I do agree with his statement about the subsidies, they gotta go, and the windmills killing the birds, but he needs to do a lot more research before making a statement such as he did to the NYT. Hell he came to P'Cola twice during the campaign, and he doesn't know about this factory!!! Oh well, guess I better start job hunting and polishing up my resume.<br />AJ Ramos, Landrum Staffing Sub Contractor GE Renewables P'Cola FlAJ Ramosnoreply@blogger.com
