As of yesterday things are getting moving. There are now three BIG "Tubes" lying horizontal in the high school parking lot that will comprise the tower.
A BIG crane is also on site but has not yet been erected. This kind of crane arrives on site with multiple flat bed trucks in attendance and needs to be assembled on site...booms, outriggers,
EDIT (19 flatbed trucks) (6-15-16 )etc..
Other big turbine component parts are further up the hill....maybe a turbine hub..and other stuff. No turbine blades yet.
This turbine will be
Direct Drive..No gear box. This type of turbine is generally taller and the
fan disc is greater in diameter,
EDIT: I was Wrong: compared to a
Step UP geared turbine of the same output. (1.5 MW)
These blades are 114' in length..compared to the old geared turbine with 123' blades.
NB
