Two blades, downwind Westinghouse 1977–1984 Four units installed for field trials MOD 1 2000 61 Two blades, downwind General Electric 1979–1981 One installed at Howard's Knob. World's first turbine to achieve 2 MW power output. MOD 2 2500 91 Two blades, upwind Boeing 1982–1988 Three installed near Goodnoe Hills as a wind farm.
In terms of global warming potential (i.e. carbon footprint), the impact of tidal power generation technologies ranges between 15 and 37 gCO 2-eq/kWhe, with a median value of 23.8 gCO 2-eq/kWhe. [54] This is in line with the impact of other renewables like wind and solar power, and significantly better than fossil-based technologies.
The turbine had two blades, 175 feet (53 m) in diameter, on the down-wind side of a 120-foot (37 m)-foot steel lattice tower. Each blade was approximately 8 feet (2.4 m) wide and 66 feet (20 m) long, and weighed eight tons. The blades were built on steel spars and covered with a stainless steel skin.
A model of a power unit, comprising turbine and generator, of the Sayano-Shushenskaya power plant. Turbines of the type used in this power plant have a very narrow working band at high efficiency regimes. If this band is exceeded the turbines begin to vibrate, caused by the pulsation of water flow and water strokes.

A power outage may leave you literally caught in the dark, but you can still be prepared by buying a home generator now. Here are the best home generators. The Best Home Generators to Keep Your ...
The Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division (CTSD), part of Westinghouse Electric Corporation's [1] Westinghouse Power Generation [2] group, was originally located, along with the Steam Turbine Division (STD), in a major industrial manufacturing complex, referred to as the South Philadelphia Works, in Lester, Pennsylvania near to the Philadelphia International Airport.
Nearly all modern wind turbines use rotors with three blades, but some use only two blades. This was the type used at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog, Germany, where a large experimental two-bladed unit—the GROWIAN, or Große Windkraftanlage (big wind turbine)—operated from 1983 to 1987. Other prototypes and wind turbine types were manufactured by NedWind.
