SIXTEEN-The lleppner Gatette-Times. lleppner, Oregon, Thursday, October 30, 1980 ( CLASSIFIE DAB 15caword ( 1 0'Word minimum ) 6769 228 v ; Wind power machines past Model T stage ;Wind power machines that convert wind into electricity are moving into an advanced state of design, says an Oregon State University en gineering professor who has received a $42,732 National Aeronautics and Space ad ministration grant to write a handbook for the sturctural dynamic analysis and design of wind turbines. "We're past the Model T and the Model A stages," says Robert W. Thresher, who has been part of OSU's pioneer work in wind power since it began in 1971. In 1976-77. he was program manager for innovative systems in the Wind Systems Branch of the U.S. Department of Energy. The handbook that will come from Thresher's NASA grant "hopefully will further wind power machine deve opments, without an Edsel along the way." The three 300-foot MOD (model) -2 wind turbines that are now being put in place in the Goodnoe Hills area near Goldendale, Wash., will be the largest in the world. Thresher noted. They also incorporate many of the innovative design and development features that have come from governmen-tally-sponsored studies and from the work of private contractors and constructors. The MOD-2 is extremely flexible in comparison with some earlier models, the engineer observed. "We've found out that it's better to let the turbine do some bending with the winds rather than sitting like the Rock of Gibraltar. The flexibility and resiliency relieve some of the wind stress. The rotor even teeters back and forth to relieve wind loads on the system. " The operational data that come from the MOD-2s will help answer questions about design, the effectiveness of clustering wind power mach ines into "wind farms," and most importantly-costs. "The wind is free. Wind machines that convert the wind into power are expen sive, however," Thresher em phasizes. The three MOD-2s. for example, will cost about $3.5 million each. They are being built by Boeing for the' Bonneville Power Adminis tration. Each of the 300-foot-blade turbines will produce a maximum of 2.500 kilowatts of power, enough to serve 600 homes on the average. But mass production and marketing of wind macliines will bring the costs down dramatically. Thresher ob served. "For example, Boeing estimates that with mass production the cost of a MOD-2 could be reduced to about $2 million." "By 1985 or 1987. we ought to know how much of an impact wind power can have nation ally," says Thresher. He figures wind power could make about the same contrib ution to the U.S. electrical energy mix of the future as hydroelectric (water-produced power ) has in the past-5--10 percent of the national total, national total. "Cost is the key," Thresher stressed. The MOD-2 projections fig ure costs of around 4 cents a kilowatt hour, he points out. "That sounds extremely good for most parts of the country. But in the Pacific Northwest, with hydro, we're still below 3 cents a kilowatt hour. Fuel oil costs alone on the East Coast now are in the 5-6 cents per kilowatt hour range, according to Thresher. "So wind power is becoming cost competitive. "If the wind turbine costs can be cut and if the machines perform well without excessive wear and maintenance-the way will be open for wind power to become a worthwhile part of the energy picture, particu larly in areas like the North west. The Northwest has been blessed above other parts of the country in hydroelectric resources. And it has some of the top wind power sites identified so far in the country too. it was noted. OSU atmospheric scientists have led the way in the identification of wind power sites. Thresher pointed out. Their "wind prospecting" work was responsible in large measure for the decision to put the MOD-2s in southeast ern Washington, he added. Another generation of ad vanced wind turbines is al ready under development at this time, according to Thresher. The MOD-5 is a large utility-sized turbine for mass electric power produc .tion, while the MOD-6 is a medium scale turbine for a variety of applications.
