Parco eolico di Budduso e Ala dei Sardi

WindRenewable

The Parco eolico di Budduso e Ala dei Sardi 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. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Enel Green Power, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Italy, Parco eolico di Budduso e Ala dei Sardi 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 di Budduso e Ala dei Sardi 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 di Budduso e Ala dei Sardi 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 40.6743° latitude and 9.2623° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Parco eolico di Aggius-Bortigiadas-Viddalba (wind-powered, 0 MW), the Tula wind farm (wind-powered, 0 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.

Understanding Wind Power Generation: A Comprehensive Overview

Wind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
