Showing Original Post only (View all)The wind farm that withstood Hurricane Sandy [View all]
http://www.windpowermonthly.com/news/1158013/wind-farm-withstood-Hurricane-Sandy/Three of the Jersey Atlantic projects five 1.5MW GE SLE turbines were operating again by Friday, said a spokeswoman for Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA).
"The remaining two turbines should be up and running in the next few days," ACUAs Amy Cook-Menzel told Windpower Monthly. The project, operated by Infigen Energy, is at ACUAs wastewater treatment plant a few miles from the shore.
Matthew McGowan, Infigens asset management and development director, described the turbines as in "good shape".
High water levels may have caused some difficulties with data relay from the substations on site and with the electrical connections, said Infigen.
