Miskeading figures?[edit]
The article reads “One of proposed variants presumes an installed capacity 87 GW and annual production 200 TWh of electricity.” However, this is physically impossible and a very simple calculation shall prove it: even assuming an unreachable 100% capacity factor (i.e., all turbines generate at maximum power 24 h/day during the whole year), 87×24×365 = 762120 MWh = 0.76 TWh. Perhaps it should read 200 GWh, implying a 26.2% capacity factor which is consistent with Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station at 24.8. Please fix! 190.195.158.232 (talk) 19:39, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Aren't you off by a factor of thousand? Wouldn't it be more like 87×24×365 = 762120 GWh? -- marilyn.hanson (talk) 23:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, their calculation is wrong and it's a good example of why not to leave out units when performing calculations. 87 GW * 1 year = 87 GW * 8760 h = 762120 GWh ≃ 762 TWh. When the units (and prefixes) are left in the calculation becomes self-correcting, and you avoid for example ending up off by three orders of magnitude... 2A00:801:733:5AAE:B94F:BE1F:7FB5:7940 (talk) 03:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
