Talk:Block Island Wind Farm

Coordinate error
According to sources Block Island Wind Farm is located in Rhode Island state waters about 2.5 nautical miles southeast of Block Island.Djflem (talk) 06:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * From eyeballing maps like the one near the bottom of this page (click on map to enlarge), I've changed the coordinates to—vaguely—correspond to the location of the proposed wind farm. When the thing actually gets built, perhaps the coordinates can be refined somewhat. I agree that the coordinates of the island itself are unsatisfactory for this article.

Performance (in terms of power generation trends and duty cycle) Section obviously needed
This thing is supposed to produce power. How much power does it really produce? In fact, it is not at all clear what the rating, in MW, means, since this installation does not operate all the time, or even predictably. It is obvious that this article needs some kind of evaluation of the average power and its variation. It would be a wonderful service to provide a 12 month bar graph of average power, and a 24 hour bar graph of average power vs. hour of the day. There is currently a section called operation, which really only covers how it does in storms. I propose that be re-named to "extreme weather performance".

Everyone who buys even the meanest little home solar installation has their own fancy system to monitor power. However, I cannot find a web page for the power plant itself. It would be great, if there was such a thing, to provide a link; perhaps there is some real-time monitor there.

Finally, sadly, at the date I wrote this, there appears an article suggesting it is down for maintenance: https://www.theday.com/article/20210807/NWS05/210809578 --192.184.155.113 (talk) 18:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
