Aoyama Plateau Wind Farm
The is the largest wind farm in Japan. It has a total capacity of 95 MW, and is located in the Aoyama Plateau, Muroo-Akame-Aoyama Quasi-National Park. The wind farm was built in stages. The first phase consisted of 20 750 kW turbines manufactured by JFE Engineering, commissioned in 2003. These turbines have a rotor diameter of 50.5 m and a tower height of 50 m. This original site covers 10.5 hectares and produced a maximum of 15 MW. The second phase was commissioned between 2016 and 2017 and comprises an additional 40 larger 2 MW turbines with a rotor diameter of 65.4 m and a tower height of 80 m, manufactured by Hitachi.

Hectare
The hectare (; SI symbol: ha) is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to a square with 100- metre sides (1 hm2), or 10,000 m2, and is primarily used in the measurement of land. There are 100 hectares in one square kilometre. An acre is about and one hectare contains about . In 1795, when the metric system was introduced, the ''are'' was defined as 100 square metres, or one square decametre, and the hectare (" hecto-" + "are") was thus 100 ''ares'' or km2 (10,000 square metres). When the metric system was further rationalised in 1960, resulting in the International System of Units (), the ''are'' was not included as a recognised unit. The hectare, however, remains as a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI and whose use is "expected to continue indefinitely". Though the dekare/decare daa (1,000 m2) and are (100 m2) are not officially "accepted for use", they are still used in some contexts. Description The hectare (), although not a unit of SI, ...

Wind Power In Japan
In Japan's electricity sector, wind power generates a small proportion of the country's electricity. It has been estimated that Japan has the potential for 144 gigawatts (GW) for onshore wind and 608 GW of offshore wind capacity. As of 2020, the country had a total installed capacity of 4.2 GW. As of 2018, government targets for wind power deployment were relatively low when compared to other countries, at 1.7% of electricity production by 2030. In December 2020, the Japanese government announced plans to install up to 45 GW of offshore wind power by 2040. Statistics Government regulation and incentives , the feed-in tariff per kWh are 21 yen for onshore and 36 yen for offshore. In April 2019 the Renewable Sea Area Utilization Law came into force. The Act is expected to promote offshore wind power projects by providing for long-term use of certain sea areas for offshore wind power projects based on a bidding process. In 2020, a new feed-in premium scheme was passed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
