Comment on Copper in Wind Power by admin

Hi Antonio,

I did this work as the major portion of a Masters thesis, so it hasn’t been peer-reviewed or published. The discussion in this article goes a bit further than was strictly appropriate in the thesis itself and I suggest that you take a look at the main body of the work in the article called “Supply Chains Blowin in the Wind“.

Regarding publication; I got to the point of editing the original to meet specific journal criteria but never got round to actually sending it in. Unfortunately I’m now up to my neck in my PhD, so don’t have time to formally publish it. But I’m happy to answer any questions regarding methodology or data sources.

In fact I can describe the methodology in two sentences;
Find the Environmental Impact Assessment for a planned wind farm and measure the distance between the turbine sites using the map and its scale. Construct a spreadsheet to consolidate the data.
You have to work out the minimum safe diameter of copper conductor for the maximum theoretical output of connected turbines, but that’s just a simple matrix that you can work out from first principles (V=IR) and cable manufacturer specifications.

Best Regards
Ian Falconer

Hi,
We are a group called “Oil Crash Observatory” from Spain (most of us are scientists) and we are interested in the peak oil, mitigation responses, primary energy alternatives and transitions to a future world without crude.

I’ve readen the interesting article “Copper in Windpower” and I would like to know the name of the author, and if this research work has been published and can be cited.

Cordially,
Antonio G-O

If you want a one stop shop for a whizz around the energy system take a look at;

OK, its American, so the numerical data isn’t 100% relevant to UK or European lifestyles, but its not so far off that the site isn’t useful in the graphical form that its laid out in here.
