parco eolico dei Poggi Alti

WindRenewable

The parco eolico dei Poggi Alti is a key infrastructure asset in Italy's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Italy, parco eolico dei Poggi Alti occupies the #2 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Italy's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 105 MW. The largest operational wind installation in Italy is the MONTEFERRANTE with an output of 105 MW, making the parco eolico dei Poggi Alti approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Italy's aggregate generation capacity of 131,103 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Italy consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, parco eolico dei Poggi Alti contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Italy advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 42.7450° latitude and 11.3861° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Alessandro Volta thermal power station (gas, 3,600 MW), MONTALTO (Alessandro Volta) (gas, 3,446 MW), Montalto di Castro Nuclear Power Station (nuclear, 2,018 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Italy.

Wind Power Generation: Harnessing the Energy of the Atmosphere

Wind power generation is a renewable energy source that utilises the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity. This process typically involves wind turbines, which convert the energy generated by moving air into mechanical energy, and subsequently into electrical energy. The basic mechanism starts with wind blowing over the blades of a turbine, causing them to rotate. This rotational motion turns a shaft connected to a generator, which then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of this conversion is influenced by various factors, including wind speed, turbine design, and the height of the turbine tower.
