ItemThe potential for large-scale wind-generated electricity in VictoriaMuirhead, Ian James (University of Melbourne, 1983)This thesis examines the potential for large-sea 1e wind-generated electricity in Victoria. To achieve this aim available wind data is analysed to determine the Victorian wind pattern. The analysis establishes that winds are strongest on the western coast where mean annual wind speeds are a round 6.5m/s. After consideration of factors considered relevant to wind generator siting, seven regions emerge for further study, two of which are associated with high mean annual wind speeds. The emphasis of this thesis is on the role of a system of wind generators used to reduce the cost of supplying intermediate load power, by replacing the gas-fired Jeeralang power station whenever it is feasible. From a series of economic comparisons it is concluded that wind power could prove economic in the above role provided that wind generators have an operational lifetime of at least 20 years, and running costs of Jeeralang power station increase by an average of 15%/annum (including inflation) over this time.
