The big wind project was very controversial up here. Now after 2 years they say the wind resource is lower than expected but hopefully will pick up. There is another big project in the drawing boards and people are really against it now that they can see how visually intrusive the turbines are over a vast area. So I was curious if average yearly wind varies. Of course one month (like January) on top of Mount Washington would vary year to year depending on how active a pattern there was. Over a 12 month period especially at a lower elevation I would guess it would even out, more so than precip. It's just hard to find data on this sort of thing. How close together are these? I can see some on the ridges west of 93 when driving up to Plymouth. I'd assume a couple dozen huge turbines create some turbulence/friction as well.

If you think about it, even a small difference in wind speed over a long period (like a year) can produce significant differences in generated power. For instance, CON in 2015 and 2014 averaged 5.8 and 5.7 mph respectively. That's a 1.7% reduction in wind speed. So even a 0.1 mph difference is close to 2%, and the power generated isn't linear either so it would likely be a greater percent difference.

We've been twice. This time we had a gift card to use, so that is why we went. Food was very dry and forgettable. The first time was similar. Server was good though Very boring stretch of weather for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
