GENERAL APPLICABILITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF PLAN

40 CFR 112.1
This Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan has been prepared for the
proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm project located on Galloo Island in the Town of Hounsfield, Jefferson
County, New York (Figure 1). The project is currently being developed by Upstate New York Power
Corporation. The Plan was prepared in accordance with requirements specified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts
110 and 112. This Plan includes the changes to the SPCC regulations, which were promulgated on July
17, 2002. In addition, requirements of the New York State navigation Law (Article 12) and appropriate
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) regulations are
incorporated/cited throughout this plan.
The proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm project or facility is scheduled to be constructed
between 2010 and 2012, and will consist of 84 wind turbines, an electrical substation,
temporary/permanent housing, helipad, slip, concrete batch plant and support buildings. This SPCC Plan
addresses both the construction phase and long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of the
project.
Each wind turbine will have an electrical generating capacity of 3.0 megawatts providing a total
electrical output of 252 megawatts. The wind turbines will be connected together through an electrical
interconnection line that is both aboveground as well as subsurface, which transmits the generated power
to the electrical substation. At the substation, the electricity will be transformed and sold as a
commodity to the power company through an electric transmission line located on the New York State
mainland. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the facility layout, with the location of the turbines, the electrical
substation, adjacent transmission lines, and elevation contours. Figures 2, 3, 5, and 6 illustrate the site
features adjacent to typical wind farm components, topographic features, and the direction of flow in the
event of an oil spill.
1-1
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
The proposed facility will have multiple areas of oil storage and use, including electrical
transformer oil, yaw oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, diesel fuel and drummed or containerized oil. The
majority of oil stored at the wind farm will be stored in the diesel fuel aboveground storages tanks
(ASTs), the primary pad-mounted power transformers in the electrical substation and within each of the
84 wind turbine nacelles. Requirements of 40 CFR Parts 110 and 112 specify that an SPCC Plan be
developed and implemented for facilities with more than 1,320 gallons of oil stored on site in containers
55-gallons in size or larger. Based on this requirement, and the quantities of oil stored/used on-site, the
proposed facility requires an SPCC Plan.
This SPCC Plan describes the equipment, structures, and procedures designed to prevent the
discharge of oil from the proposed facility into or upon the navigable waters of the United States. This
SPCC Plan complies with the provisions of 40 CFR Parts 110 and 112 and has been reviewed and
certified by a Registered Professional Engineer familiar with the site and the SPCC Plan regulatory
requirements. Certification for Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria is contained in Appendix
A.
Even though the facilitys total oil capacity will be greater than 42,000 gallons and it will receive
oil over water, the checklist in Appendix A determined that the facility will not require a Facility
Specific Response Plan (40 CFR 112 Appendix F) because of the following:
All but two (2) ASTs are located at least 1.8 miles inland from the slip;
The two (2) ASTs at the slip have an aggregate capacity of 10,000 gallons; and,
The amount of oil transferred over water is less than 5,000 gallons per week.
As required by 40 CFR 112.3(e), this SPCC Plan will be kept on file at the proposed facilitys
O&M building (Figure 3) and will be available for regulatory agency review upon request during normal
working hours. Upon completion of the proposed facility, this Plan will be modified to reflect any
changes between the proposed and actual construction. As required by 40 CFR 112.5, this Plan will also
be reviewed once every five years, and amended within six months of the review, if required. In
addition, this Plan will be amended within six months of any modification of operations conducted at the
proposed facility, if the modification could result in the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable
1-2
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
waters of the United States. All amendments to this SPCC Plan will be certified by a qualified,
registered, professional engineer.
During construction of this facility, spill prevention/containment measures will be implemented
in accordance with applicable regulations (i.e. New York State Department of Transportation). Spill
response and reporting during construction will be in accordance with Section 4.0 of this Plan.
This is the initial SPCC Plan, so reviews of this plan per 40 CFR Part 112.5 have yet to be
conducted.
This SPCC Plan does not follow the exact order presented in 40 CFR Part 112. Section
headings identify, where appropriate, the relevant section(s) of the SPCC rule. The following table
presents a cross-reference of SPCC Plan sections relative to applicable parts of 40 CFR Part 112.

SPILL PROTECTION PLAN
4.1
Prior Spills
40 CFR 112.4
At the time of the publication of this plan, the only actions that occurred with regards to the
proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm site were surveying and design related activities. No spills of
reportable quantities of oil, as outlined in the reporting requirements (40 CFR 112.4 and 6 NYCRR Part
613.8), have occurred at this site in the past three (3) years. The proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm will
begin construction in 2010 and begin operation in 2012.
4.2
Potential Spills
40 CFR 112.7(b)
If an oil spill or release occurs at the site, product may reach Lake Ontario (which surrounds the
facility) through the following potential mechanisms:
direct release to surface water;
flow over land;
migration in groundwater;
through the unsaturated subsurface soil or bedrock; or,
through stormwater transport.
The storm water routes described in Section 4.4 of this plan, or groundwater (see Figures 2 and
3).
The table on page 4-3 presents expected volume, discharge rate and general direction of flow in
the event of equipment failure, and means of secondary containment for different parts of the facility
where oil is stored, used, or handled.

11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
4.2.1
Construction Phase
Initial phase of construction will involve the installation and operation of ASTs #001 - #009
listed in the table shown in Section 2.4 of this plan. Oil spills or leaks at the site during construction of
this facility would most likely occur as a result of four possible events:
1) Fuel tank failure Ruptures in the fuel tanks of construction vehicles (i.e., dump trucks,
front end loaders, cranes, etc.) or ASTs may be the result of defective materials, defective
workmanship, damage from mobile equipment, corrosion, fire, or damage from storms,
tornados, or high winds. The volume of spill at each tank is dependent on that tank (i.e., 5010,000 gallons).
2) Overfill/spills during container loading/unloading operations Oil may be spilled due to
accidents involving containers or temporary fuel tanks (vehicles, generators, etc.). These
accidents typically include overfilling or spills such as punctures, leaks, corrosion, improper
storage, etc. Every effort will be taken during truck unloading activities to prevent damage
to petroleum containers, etc. and thus the creation of spills. Temporary or permanent
containment structures will be provided, as required. These types of spills are often due to
operator error, but sometimes can be the result of defective equipment. These spills are the
most common types of spills, and spill prevention should be emphasized during employee
training.

3) Hose failure - A break in piping or a hose will cause the contents to be pumped or drained
onto the ground. This failure can occur as a result of damage to the pipe, hose, defective
connections, or errors by facility personnel.
4) Oil drum/container rupture or puncture - A rupture caused by equipment puncture or
corrosion could release oil to the ground. Leakage due to corrosion or loose fittings may
also occur.
4.2.2
Operation and Maintenance Phase

Oil spills or leaks at the site would most likely occur as a result of four possible events:
1) Turbine failures - Ruptures in container walls, turbine bearing failures, turbine gear oil seal
failure, oil pan housing failures, etc. may be the result of defective materials, defective
4-3

11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
workmanship, damage from mobile equipment, corrosion, fire, or damage from storms,
tornados, or high winds. The volume of spill at each turbine could be 66 gallons (from the
equipment in the nacelle).
2) Fuel tank failure Ruptures in the fuel tanks of service vehicles or ASTs may be the result
of defective materials, defective workmanship, damage from mobile equipment, corrosion,
fire, or damage from storms, tornados, or high winds. The volume of spill at each tank is
dependent on the tank capacity (i.e., 50-10,000 gallons).
3) Overfill/spills during container loading/unloading operations Oil may be spilled due to
accidents involving containers or fuel tanks (i.e., vehicles, generator AST, etc.). These
accidents typically include overfilling or spills such as punctures, leaks, corrosion, improper
storage, etc. Every effort will be taken during truck unloading activities to prevent damage
to petroleum containers, etc. and thus the creation of spills. Temporary or permanent
containment structures will be provided, as required. These types of spills are often due to
operator error, but sometimes can be the result of defective equipment. These spills are the
most common types of spills, and spill prevention should be emphasized during employee
training.
4) Hose failure - A break in piping or a hose will cause the contents to be pumped or drained
into containment areas or onto the ground. This failure can occur as a result of damage to
the pipe, hose, defective connections, or errors by facility personnel.
5) Oil drum/container rupture or puncture - A rupture caused by equipment puncture or
corrosion could release oil to the ground. Leakage due to corrosion or loose fittings may
also occur.
The turbine gearbox and hydraulic station located in the nacelle are not required to have
secondary containment. Any potential releases would be detected visually and corrective action
implemented. In the unlikely event that a turbine had a release of the entire 66 gallons of oil stored in
the equipment, the oil would flow overland for a relatively short distance and would be absorbed into the
soils on site or immediately down gradient of the site (see Spill Route Maps presented as Figures 3, 5,
and 6).

Spill Containment/Control Equipment and Structures

40 CFR 112.7(c)
All ASTs to be used at this facility will be constructed of steel, in accordance with industry
specifications as described in Section 2.4 of this plan and in accordance with NYSDEC regulation 6
NYCRR Part 614.9. The design and construction of all bulk storage containers will be compatible with
the characteristics of the oil product they contain, and with temperature and pressure conditions.
AST piping will be made of steel and placed aboveground on appropriate supports designed to
minimize erosion and stress. Supply piping to equipment may be fiberglass or steel and designed in
accordance with industry wide standards.
4.3.1
Construction Phase
If a release of diesel fuel would occur from any of the ASTs listed in Section 2.4 of this plan, the
product would be retained within the annular space between the primary and secondary walls of that
ASTs double walled system.
Service vehicles equipped with spill kits will be present during construction. Additional spill
kits will be positioned adjacent to the ASTs (see Figures 7-9). Each spill kit will be assembled with
equipment that will address the type/quantity of spill that may occur at their location (i.e. Speedi Dry,
booms, etc.). The typical contents of a spill kit adjacent to all ASTs include, but are not limited to the
following:
90-gallon poly over pack drum;
Absorbent booms, pillows and/or pads;
Absorbent granular material (i.e., speedi dri); and,
Safety glasses, gloves.
In addition, special provisions are proposed for addressing potential spills at the slip location. A
CONEX box will be located approximately 30 feet from the shoreline directly northeast of the slip, and
will contain the following spill response equipment:
4-5
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
SPCC Plan.
500-Foot harbor boom.
100 Petroleum absorbent pads.
500 Foot Petroleum absorbent boom.
4 Mushroom anchors.
4 Boom buoys.
4 55-gallon 1A2 steel drums.
3 12-Foot duck boat with outboard motor and personal floatation devices.
4 Pitch forks.
100 Contractor trash bags.
100 Pair of disposable coveralls or Tyvek suits.
100 Pair of disposable gloves.
Approximately 10 additional spill kits will be stored in the O&M Building. All spill kits will be
inventoried on a monthly basis.
4.3.2

If a release of fuel would occur from any of the ASTs listed in Section 2.4 of this plan, the
product would be retained within the annular space between the primary and secondary walls of that
ASTs double walled system.
If a release of transformer oil were to occur from the electrical substation transformer, the oil
would be retained in the permanent concrete secondary containment dike designed to contain over 110
percent of the transformer oil.
Spill kits mentioned in Section 4.3.1 of this plan will be positioned adjacent to the ASTs and in
the O&M Building (see Figures 7-9). Each spill kit will be assembled with equipment that will address
the type/quantity of spill that may occur at their location (i.e. Speedi Dry, booms, etc.).
4-6
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
4.4
Facility Drainage
40 CFR 112.7(c) and 40 CFR 112.8(b)
Storm water flows overland at all locations throughout the wind farm area. The site has no
designated storm water outfalls. Any storm water will travel down from the turbine locations and/or
ASTs towards Lake Ontario or low-lying interior areas, via surficial topography (see Figures 2, 3, 5, and
6).
All proposed ASTs will be of double walled construction, which will protect them from storm
water contact.
Additionally, oil storage at the wind farm includes oil-filled gearboxes and hydraulics located in
the nacelle of each wind turbine. Oil stored within these units will be protected from storm water
contact. However, should a release occur, a maximum of 66 gallons of oil could be carried by storm
water down towards Lake Ontario or low lying interior areas (see Figures 2, 5 & 6).
Another discharge prevention measures will include the use of spill buckets surrounding the fill
ports on the ASTs. The spill buckets will be routinely inspected for liquids and any accumulated water
and oil pumped out.
4.5
Loading/Unloading Procedures
40 CFR 112.7(h) & 40 CFR 112.8(d)

Throughout every phase of this project, oil (i.e., diesel fuel, lube oil, etc.) will be delivered to the
site via trucks (i.e., tanker trucks, box trucks with 55-gallon drums, etc.) on barges. These barges will be
off-loaded at the temporary off-loading facility and/or proposed permanent slip located along the
southeast coast of Galloo Island (see Figures 2 and 4). In addition, ASTs #007 and #008 located at the
boat slip fueling island (see Figure 9) will be used to refuel the motorized watercraft servicing the
facility. Such off-loading/refueling will also be conducted in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard
Regulation 33 CFR 126 (Handling of Dangerous Cargo at Waterfront Facilities).
4-7
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
Even though oil transfer operations will be conducted between the boat slip fueling island and
watercraft servicing the facility, a Response Plan for Oil Facilities (33 CFR 154 Subpart F) is not
required because of the following:
The amount of oil transferred over water is less than 5,000 gallons per week;
The ASTs at the slip have an aggregate oil capacity of less than 39.75 m3;
Any vessel docking at the slip will have an aggregate oil capacity of less than 39.75 m3; and,
The ASTs at the slip will be resupplied on-shore, via tanker trucks.
All oil suppliers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank truck
loading/unloading established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Upstate New York Power
Corporation will ensure that oil delivery vendors understand the site layout, know the protocol for
entering the facility and unloading product, and have the necessary equipment to respond to a discharge
from the vehicle or fuel delivery hose. The EHS Coordinator or his/her designee supervises oil
deliveries for all new suppliers, and periodically observes deliveries for existing, approved suppliers. All
unloading of tank vehicles will take place only in the designated unloading areas.
The refueling of land-based mobile construction equipment will be accomplished using a
dedicated fueling truck. Refueling of equipment will, whenever possible, be conducted away from the
proposed in-water slip construction work area and care will be taken to minimize the potential for
petroleum spills.
The refueling of construction equipment situated on barges will be accomplished by manual
pumping product from a double walled petroleum storage tank stationed on the barge and equipped with
secondary containment. It is anticipated that the petroleum storage tank will have a capacity of 1,000- to
2,000-gallons and will be periodically filled at a commercial fueling facility on the New York State
mainland such as at the Port of Oswego.
There will be no refueling of ASTs over water. Product delivery trucks will drive to the AST
location and refuel the AST from land. Secondary containment for the delivery trucks will consist of
spill buckets placed beneath any connections/valves during product transfers. While transferring oil to
and from the ASTs, the vehicle driver or facility personnel will remain with the vehicle at all times while
4-8
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
fuel is being transferred. Transfer operations will be performed according to the minimum procedures
outlined in following table.

departure. If necessary, tighten, adjust, or replace caps, valves, or other
equipment to prevent oil leaking while in transit.
4-9
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
All oil transfer operations will be conducted in accordance with applicable local, state and
federal regulations/guidelines,
4.6
Conformance with Applicable State and Local Requirements

40 CFR 112.7(j)
ASTs #001 through #009 (see Section 2.4) will be registered with the NYSDEC in accordance
with their Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) regulations. These ASTs will meet the requirements of 6
NYCRR 614.9(a) and will be inspected monthly, per 6 NYCRR 613.6(a).
4.7
Tank Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c) and 40 CFR 112.8(c)
To satisfy 40 CFR 112.8(c)(8), all ASTs will be equipped with a direct-reading level gauge, and
facility personnel will be present throughout the filling operations to monitor the product level in the
tanks.
4.7.1
Construction Phase
There are no field-constructed tanks at the facility; all tanks will be shop-built. The shell
thickness of all of the steel ASTs will be less than one-half inch. As discussed in the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 653 Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (API653), brittle fracture is not a concern for tanks that have a shell thickness of less than one-half inch.
Therefore, brittle fracture evaluation per 40 CFR 112.7(i) is not required.
The ASTs will be of double-walled steel construction and provide intrinsic secondary
containment for 110 percent of the tank capacities. Since the secondary containment is not open to
precipitation, the volumes are sufficient to fully contain the product in the event of a leak from the
primary container. The interstitial space between the primary and secondary containers is inspected on a
monthly basis to detect any leak of product from the primary container.
4-10
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
There will be no corrosion protection system, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(4).

There will be no tank heating coils, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(7).
No effluent treatment systems, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(9), will be installed at the facility.
In addition, spill kits will be deployed on an as-needed basis.
4.7.2

The quantity of diesel fuel required during the O&M phase of the project will be significantly
reduced. The power generation system will only be required in the event of a power outage since
electric power will likely be provided by the wind farm or directly from the tie-in to the grid. In
addition, the requirement to heat the temporary housing will be greatly reduced or eliminated.
There are no field-constructed tanks at the facility; all tanks will be shop-built. The shell

There will be no corrosion protection system, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(4).
There will be no tank heating coils, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(7).
No effluent treatment systems, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(9), will be installed at the facility.
4-11
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
There will not be any partially buried or bunkered storage tanks, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(5).
In addition, spill kits will be deployed on an as-needed basis.
4.8
Turbine Oil Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c)
1) The proposed wind farm will have 84 wind turbines, each of which will contain
approximately 66 gallons of gear oil, along with yaw and hydraulic oil. The turbines have
internal collection systems that are designed to prevent leaks from spreading outside their
nacelles. They are also located on concrete pads allowing visual inspection. Each turbine
will be inspected from the ground on a weekly basis. In addition, routine O&M activities
are conducted on turbine equipment every six months at which time gear oil, hydraulic oil
and yaw oil are topped off or changed out. Additional O&M work completed at this time
would include lubrication and filter change outs. The equipment will be inspected at that
time and documented on inspection forms similar to those contained in Appendix C. A spill
kit, stored at the O&M Building, will be used in the event of any leak or spill.
2) Personnel who observe visible oil leaks, which result in a loss of oil from the turbine gear
box, hydraulic system, or leaking fittings large enough to cause an accumulation of oil on
the concrete pad, surrounding soil, or on the turbine tower, shall notify the EHS Coordinator
or designee. The EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure the turbine will be promptly
repaired. If the leak is not repairable, the turbine will be removed from service until such
time the oil leak can be repaired or the malfunctioning parts can be replaced.
3) Spill kits will be deployed on an as-needed basis.
4.9
Transformer Oil Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c)
1) The electrical substation facility will be equipped with four pad-mounted electrical
transformers containing an estimated 12,000 to 15,000-gallons of transformer oil each
(48,000 to 60,000-gallons total). These transformers will be equipped with a concrete
4-12

11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
secondary containment structure designed to contain 110% of the entire contents of a single
transformer in case of a failure. The transformers will be formally inspected monthly, and
these inspections will be documented on the inspection forms contained in Appendix C. In
addition to the formal monthly inspections, informal inspections are also performed during
the course of each week as part of the routine operations of the site. Based on O&M
employee schedules and routine maintenance, any leaks from the equipment should be
observed within 48 hours (during the work week) to 72 hours (during the weekend) of
occurrence.
2) Each wind turbine will have its own step up dry-type transformer located within the rear
portion of the turbine nacelle. These transformers are not subject to 40 CFR 110 and 40
CFR 112 since they do not contain transformer oils.
3) Personnel who observe oil leaks, which result in a loss of oil from transformer puncture,
leakage, electrical failure, leaking fittings, or acts of god, large enough to cause an
accumulation of oil in the concrete secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS
Coordinator or designee. The EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure the transformer is
promptly repaired. If the leak is not repairable, the transformer contents will be transferred
to a temporary storage tank and the transformer repaired or replaced.
4) Dikes surrounding the transformers will be drained monthly, or immediately after a
significant rain event.
5) Each transformer will have a gauge indicating the level of dielectric fluid within it.
6) Spill kits will be deployed on an as-needed basis.

Drum Containment and Spill Response
40 CFR 112.7(c)
4.10.1 Construction and Start-Up Phase
1) If 55-gallon drums of oil are used during facility construction and start-up, they will be
stored on-site, on secondary containment structures. Unused/used oil will be stored in 5gallon plastic containers, which are exempt from SPCC regulations, or in 55-gallon drums
stored on secondary containment structure. Such practices are also designed to prevent
drum corrosion by limiting drum/container contact with the ground. Used oil may also be
temporarily stored in 55-gallon drums during the construction and start-up phase, on
secondary containment structures prior to proper disposal.
2) Personnel who observe oil leaks that result in a loss of oil from drum puncture, leakage,
improper drum storage, or leaking fittings and large enough to cause an accumulation of oil
on the floor or in the secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS Coordinator or
designee. The EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure that the drum will be promptly
repaired. If the leak is not repairable, the drum contents should be transferred to another
drum or an over-pack drum may be used to contain the leaking drum. In addition, spill kits
will be deployed on an as-needed basis.
4.10.2 Operation and Maintenance Phase

1) The proposed facility will store its 55-gallon oil drums on secondary containment structures
within the facilitys O&M Building. Containers of oil that are less than 55-gallons (i.e., 5gallon plastic buckets) will also be stored within the O&M Building, on secondary
containment structures adjacent to the aforementioned 55-gallon drums. Such practices are
also designed to prevent drum corrosion by limiting drum/container contact with the
ground.
2) Personnel who observe oil leaks that result in a loss of oil from drum puncture, leakage,
improper drum storage, or leaking fittings and large enough to cause an accumulation of oil
4-14
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
on the floor or in the secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS Coordinator or
designee. The EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure that the drum will be promptly
repaired. If the leak is not repairable, the drum contents should be transferred to another
drum or an over-pack drum may be used to contain the leaking drum. In addition, spill kits
will be deployed on an as-needed basis.
4.11
Supplemental Spill Prevention Procedures
4.11.1 Construction Phase

Spill prevention procedures include routine maintenance of construction equipment and storage
units and frequent inspections by construction personnel.
Construction personnel will inspect drum/container storage areas at least once a week, and
construction vehicles daily, and record noticeable changes or conditions. Key personnel will be familiar
with and instructed to follow this SPCC plan. The construction project will have a program in place to
improve maintenance and/or operating procedures through employee suggestions and management
advice.
Other discharge prevention measures at the Hounsfield Wind Farm are noted below.
Spill buckets will surround the fill ports on the ASTs. The spill buckets will be routinely
inspected for liquids and any accumulated water and oil pumped out.
Construction vehicles and equipment will be inspected for evidence of oil leakage. Any
vehicles or equipment that are leaking oil will be repaired and the impacted soils
containerized and properly disposed of.
4-15
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
4.11.2 Operation and Maintenance Phase

Spill prevention procedures include routine maintenance of proposed facility equipment and
storage units and frequent inspections by facility personnel. Facility personnel will inspect ASTs,
containment areas, drum/container storage areas, transformers, and turbines at least once a week and
record noticeable changes or conditions. Key personnel will be familiar with and instructed to follow
this SPCC plan. The proposed facility has a program in place to improve maintenance and/or operating
procedures through employee suggestions and management advice.
4.12
Supplemental Spill Response Procedures

40 CFR 112.7(a)(5)
This sub-section describes the response and clean-up procedures in the event of any oil
discharge. The uncontrolled discharge of oil to groundwater, surface water, or soil is prohibited by New
York State laws. Immediate action must be taken to control, contain, and recover discharged product.
In general, the following steps will be taken:
Eliminate potential spark sources;
If possible and safe to do so, identify and shut down the source of the discharge to stop the
flow;
Contain the discharge with absorbents, berms, fences, trenches, sandbags, or other material;
Contact the Spill Response Coordinator or his/her alternate;
Contact regulatory authorities and the response organization; and
Collect and dispose of recovered products according to appropriate regulations.
For the purpose of establishing appropriate response procedures, this SPCC Plan classifies
discharges as either minor or major, depending on the volume and characteristics of the material
released.
A list of Emergency Contacts is provided in Section 2.6 of this plan. The list is also posted at
prominent locations throughout the facility. A list of discharge response materials that will be kept at the
4-16
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
facility is included in Appendix C.

During the construction phase, on-site equipment (i.e., excavators, backhoe/loaders, dump truck,
etc.) will be utilized at spill sites on an as-needed basis.
During the operation phase, site specific backhoe/loaders and dump trucks will be utilized at
spill sites on an as-needed basis.
4.12.1 Response to a Minor Discharge

A minor discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm (or threat) to human health
and safety or to the environment. Minor discharges are those where:
The quantity of product discharged is less than 5 gallons;
The product is contained under the control of the spiller;
The product has not and will not reach the States water or any land;
Clean-up of the spilled product was completed within 2 hours of discovery;
There is little risk to human health or safety; and
There is little risk of fire or explosion.
Minor discharges can usually be cleaned up by O&M personnel. The following guidelines
apply:
Immediately notify the Spill Response Coordinator.
Under the direction of the Spill Response Coordinator, contain the discharge with discharge
response materials and equipment. Place discharge debris in properly labeled waste
containers.
The Spill Response Coordinator will complete the discharge notification form (Appendix C)
and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan.
4-17
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
4.12.2 Response to a Major Discharge
A major discharge is defined as any discharge other than minor (see Section 4.12.1 of
this plan).
In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply:
All workers must immediately evacuate the discharge site via the designated exit routes and
move to the designated staging areas at a safe distance from the discharge. Exit routes are
included on the facility diagram and posted in the O&M Building that contains the spill
response equipment.
If the Spill Response Coordinator is not present at the facility, the senior on-site person will
notify the Spill Response Coordinator of the discharge and has authority to initiate
notification and response. Certain notifications are dependent on the circumstances and
type of discharge. For example, if oil reaches a sanitary sewer, the publicly owned
treatment works (POTW) should be notified immediately. A discharge that threatens Lake
Ontario may require immediate notification to the Coast Guard National Response Center
(800-424-8802).
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call for medical assistance if
workers are injured.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must notify the Fire Department
or Police Department (911).
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call the spill response and
clean-up contractors listed in Section 2.8 of this plan.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must immediately contact the
NYSDEC (800-457-7362).
4-18
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must record the call on the
Discharge Notification form in Appendix C and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) coordinates clean-up and obtains
assistance from a clean-up contractor or other response organization as necessary.
If the Spill Response Coordinator is not available at the time of the discharge, then the next
highest person in seniority assumes responsibility for coordinating response activities.
Due to the remote nature of the facility, removal and segregation of the media impacted by a
major discharge will commence immediately upon discovery by on-site personnel, using equipment cited
in Section 4.12 of this plan. Once the impacted media is removed and isolated, confirmatory sampling of
the adjacent in-situ media will be conducted to verify that no more media needs to be removed. These
clean-up procedures will be conducted under the supervision of the Spill Response Coordinator (or
senior on-site person), in accordance with NYSDEC Spill Technology and Remediation Series (STARS)
Memo #1 (Petroleum-Contaminated Soil Guidance Policy). The spill response and clean-up contractors
listed in Section 2.8 of this plan will take over the above-mentioned remedial operations upon arrival to
the site.
Once these clean-up procedures have been completed to the satisfactory of the NYSDEC, a spill
clean-up report will be issued to the NYSDEC detailing the events that occurred following the discovery
of the major discharge. This report will include, but not be limited to the following:
Notification information cited in Section 4.12.4 of this plan;
Waste information (i.e., quantity, containerization type, disposal confirmation, etc.); and,
Confirmatory sampling details/results.
In addition, data generated during these clean-up procedures (i.e., analytical data, GPS
coordinates, etc.) will be made available to the NYSDEC in ESRI GIS format.
4-19
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
4.12.3 Waste Disposal

Wastes resulting from a minor discharge response will be containerized in impervious bags,
drums, or buckets. The Spill Response Coordinator will characterize the waste for proper disposal and
ensure that it is removed from the facility by a licensed waste hauler within two months. Wastes
resulting from a major discharge response will be removed and disposed of by a clean-up contractor.
4.12.4 Discharge Notification
40 CFR 112(a)(4)
If petroleum impacts soil or water, or the spill is not cleaned up in two hours, or is not under the
control of the facility, or involves more than 5 gallons of oil, the Spill Response Coordinator will call the
NYSDEC (800-457-7362).
Any size discharge (i.e., one that creates a sheen, emulsion, or sludge) that affects or threatens to
affect navigable waters or adjoining shorelines must be reported immediately to the National Response
Center (1-800-424-8802). The Center is staffed 24 hours a day.
A summary sheet is incorporated into the Discharge Notification Form (Appendix C) to
facilitate reporting. The person reporting the discharge must provide the following information:
Name, location, organization, and telephone number;
Name and address of the party responsible for the incident;

4.12.5 Clean-Up Contractors and Equipment Suppliers

Contact information for specialized spill response and clean-up contractors is provided in
Section 2.8 of this Plan. These contractors have the necessary equipment to respond to a discharge of oil
that affects neighboring bodies of water (i.e., streams, creeks, lakes, etc.), including floating booms and
oil skimmers.
Spill kits are located inside the O&M Building. Once assembled, the inventory of response
supplies and equipment will be documented in the spill response kit inspection checklist located in
Appendix C of this Plan. The inventory will be verified on a monthly basis. Additional supplies and
equipment may be ordered from the following sources:

Practicability of Secondary Containment

40 CFR 112.7(d)
The ASTs will be designed to contain 110% secondary containment in accordance with
application state and federal regulations. In addition, where required by regulations, all AST piping will
have secondary containment. Drums and pails will be staged on secondary containment structures.
The wind turbine generators are not required to have secondary containment; however, they do
have internal collection systems that are designed to prevent leaks from spreading outside their nacelles.
They are also located on concrete pads allowing visual inspection. Each turbine will be inspected from
the ground on a weekly basis. In addition, routine O&M activities are conducted on turbine equipment
every six months at which time gear oil, hydraulic oil and yaw oil are topped off or changed out.
Additional O&M work completed at this time would include lubrication and filter change outs. The
equipment will be inspected at that time and documented on inspection forms similar to those contained
in Appendix C. A spill kit, stored at the O&M Building, will be used in the event of any leak or spill.

SECURITY
40 CFR 112.7(g)
Since both the temporary off-loading facility and proposed permanent slip (see Section 4.5) are
subject to U.S. Coast Guard Regulation 33 CFR 105 (Maritime Security: Facilities), the following will
be conducted prior to the start of the project:
A Facility Security Assessment, per 33 CFR 105 Subpart C, will be conducted;
Security measures will be established to address the findings of the aforementioned

assessment and pursuant to 33 CFR 105 Subpart B; and,
If required, a Facility Security Plan will be generated in accordance with 33 CFR 105
Subpart D.
7.1
Construction Phase
At the end of each day, to the extent possible, construction vehicles will be parked in a central
staging area. This staging area will be equipped with sufficient lighting to conduct inspections and, if
necessary, any required clean-up operations.
The secondary containers used for drum storage, cited in Section 4.10 of this plan, will be in
mobile box structures, with lockable doors.
All ASTs will be protected via temporary barriers that are capable of stopping typical
construction vehicles. All AST fill ports will be locked, and controls for the fuel pumps associated with
these ASTs (if any) will be protected via lockout/tag out procedures.
7.2
The Proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Wind
farm operations personnel will be on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The O&M Building is
7-1
11/6/2009, 3:18 PM
locked when staff is not present. In addition, the access door to each turbine will be locked unless
undergoing inspection or maintenance activities. The electrical substation will be surrounded by a chain
link fence with a locked gate. Visitors are registered and escorted through the project site, unless the
Operations Supervisor or designee waives the escort requirement, such as routine maintenance
personnel, landowner guests, etc. Individuals in vehicular traffic granted entry into the wind farm area
are warned verbally or by appropriate signs to ensure vehicles do not endanger oil-related equipment.
The O&M Building and electrical substation will be equipped with sufficient lighting to conduct
inspections and if necessary, any required clean-up operations.
All ASTs will be protected via concrete bollards that are capable of stopping typical service
vehicles. All AST fill ports will be locked, and controls for the fuel pumps associated with these ASTs
(if any) will be protected via lockout/tag out procedures.

General Description
The VESTAS V90 3.0 MW is a pitch regulated upwind wind turbine with active
yaw and a three-blade rotor.
The VESTAS V90 3.0 MW has a rotor diameter of 90 m with a generator rated at
3.0 MW.
The turbine utilises the OptiTip and the variable speed concepts. With these features rated power will be maintained even in high wind speeds, regardless of air
temperature and air density, and the wind turbine is able to operate the rotor at
variable speed (RPM). At low wind speeds the OptiTip system and
variable speed operation maximise the power output by giving the optimal RPM
and pitch angle, which also minimises the sound emission from the turbine.
1.1
Nacelle Description
Fig. 1
V90 3.0 MW Nacelle
The nacelle cover is made of fibreglass. An opening in the floor provides access to
the nacelle from the tower.
The roof section is equipped with skylights, which can be opened to access the
roof and the wind sensors.
Wind sensors are mounted on the nacelle roof. Aviation lights, if any, are also
placed on top of the nacelle.

Machine Foundation (the Bedplate)

The front of the nacelle bedplate is the foundation for the drive train, that transmits
forces and torque from the rotor to the tower, through the yaw system. The front of
the nacelle bedplate is made of cast steel. The nacelle cover is mounted on the
nacelle bedplate.
The nacelle bedplate is in two parts and consists of a cast iron part and a girder
structure.
The cast iron part serves as the foundation of the main gear and the generator.
The bottom surface is machined and connected to the yaw bearing. The crane
beams are attached to the top structure. The lower beams of the girder structure
are connected at the rear end. The rear part of the bedplate serves as the foundation for controller panels, cooling system and transformer.
The four yaw-gears are bolted to nacelle bedplate.
The nacelle houses the internal 800 kg SWL service crane. The crane is a single
system chain hoist. If any heavier parts need service, the service crane can be
upgraded to 1600/10000 kg SWL.
The upgraded crane is able to lift and lower large elements such as parts of the
gearbox and the generator.
1.1.2
Gearbox
The main gear transmits the torque from the rotor to the generator.
The gear unit is a combination of a 2-stage planetary gear and a 1-stage helical
gear. The gear housing is bolted to the bedplate. The low speed input shaft is
bolted directly to the hub without the use of a traditional main shaft.
The gearbox lubrication system is a forced feed system without the use of an integrated oil sump.
1.1.3
Yaw System
The yaw bearing system is a plain bearing system with built-in friction. The system
enables the nacelle to rotate on top of the tower. The system transmits the forces
from the turbine-rotor/nacelle to the tower.
Four electrical yaw gears with motor brakes rotate the nacelle.
1.1.4
The Brake System

The turbine brakes by full-feathering of the rotor blades. The individual pitch cylinders ensure triple braking safety.
Furthermore, a hydraulic system supplies pressure to a disc brake located on the
main gear high-speed shaft. The disc brake system consists of 3 hydraulic brake
callipers.
The disc brake is considered as the parking brake.

Generator
The generator is an asynchronous 4-pole generator with a wound rotor.
Variable speed allows varying the rotor speed within a wide speed range. This reduces power fluctuations in the power grid system as well as minimises the loads
on vital parts of the turbine. Furthermore, the variable speed system optimises the
power production, especially at low wind speeds. Variable speed technology enables control of the turbine reactive power factor between 0.96 inductive and 0.98
capacitive measured on the low voltage side.
The generator is water-cooled.
1.1.6
Transformer
The step up transformer is located in a separate compartment to the rear of the
nacelle. The transformer is a three phase dry-type cast resin transformer specially
designed for wind turbine applications.
The windings are delta connected on the medium voltage-side unless otherwise
specified. The windings are connected in star on the low voltage-side (1000 V and
400 V). The 1000 V and 400 V systems in the nacelle are a TN-system, where the
star point is connected to ground.
Surge arresters are mounted on the medium voltage (primary) side of the transformer.
The output voltages available are in 0.5 kV steps from 10 to 34.5 kV where
36kV(Um) is the highest equipment peak voltage.
The transformer room is equipped with arc detection sensors.
1.1.7
The Cooling and Air-conditioning System

If the inside air temperature of the nacelle exceeds a certain level, flap valves will
open to the outside. A fan engine will draw in outside air for cooling the nacelle air.
Gear lubrication oil, generator cooling water and the variable speed unit are cooled
from a separate air intake, using separate water/air cooling systems. Water coolers are thermally insulated from other parts of the nacelle.
A separate fan cools the transformer.
The heat exchanger system is mounted in a separate compartment in the upper
rear section of the nacelle.

Man.
The hub is mounted directly onto the gearbox, thereby eliminating the main shaft
traditionally used to transmit the wind power to the generator through the gearbox.
1.2.2
Pitch Regulation
The V90 is equipped with a microprocessor controlled pitch control system called
OptiTip.Based on the prevailing wind conditions, the blades are continuously positioned to the optimum pitch angle.
The pitch mechanism is placed in the hub. Changes of the blade pitch angle are
made by hydraulic cylinders, which are able to rotate the blade 95. Every single
blade has its own hydraulic pitch cylinder.
1.2.3
Hydraulics
A hydraulic system produces hydraulic pressure for the pitch systems in the hub.
In case of grid failure or leakage, a backup accumulator system provides sufficient
pressure to pitch the blades and stop the turbine.
A collector system prevents oil leaks, if any, from spreading outside the hub.
1.2.4
Blades
The blades are made of fibre glass reinforced epoxy and carbon fibres. Each
blade consists of an inner beam encircled by two shells. The blades are designed
for optimised output and minimised noise and light reflection. The V90 blade design minimizes the mechanical loads applied to the turbine.
The blade bearing is a double raced 4-point ball bearing bolted to the blade hub.
Each blade has a lightning protection system consisting of lightning receptors on
the blade tip and a copper wire conductor inside the blade.

Control and Regulation
1.3.1
Variable Speed Description
Date:
Class:
Type:
2004-03-02
I
Man.
Variable speed ensures a steady and stable electric power production from the
turbine.
The variable speed system consists of an asynchronous generator with wound rotor, slip rings and power converter. A power converter is connected to the rotor to
control the generator at variable speed. In supersynchronous operation due to
wind gusts, the excess rotor energy is dissipated in a chopper resistor.
The variable speed and the OptiTip system ensure energy optimisation, low noise
operation and reduction of loads on all vital components.
The system controls the current in the rotor circuit of the generator. This gives precise control of the reactive power, and gives a smooth connection sequence when
the generator is connected to the grid.
The reactive power control is as default set at 0 KVAr export/ import at 1000 V.
1.3.2
Vestas Multi Processor Controller

All functions of the wind turbine are monitored and controlled by microprocessor
based control units called VMP (Vestas Multi Processor).
The VMP controller consists of several individual sub controller systems. Each
system has separate operation tasks and communicate via an optical-based network (ArcNet).
The controller enclosures are located in the bottom of the tower, in the nacelle and
in the hub.
The operating system is VxWorks, which fulfils the demands for stability, flexibility
and security that are expected in a modern, intelligent wind turbine.
Digital and analogue Input/Output functions in the turbine are interfaced via the
use of distributed units communicating on the CAN-open protocol.
The VMP-controller is equipped with a battery backup system.
The VMP controller serves the following functions:
Monitoring and supervision of the operation.
Synchronising the generator to the grid during the connection sequence, in order to limit the in rush current.
Operating of the turbine during various fault situations.
Automatic yawing of the nacelle in accordance to the wind direction.
OptiTip -Controlling the blade pitch.
Reactive power control and variable speed.
Noise emission control.
Monitoring of ambient conditions (wind, temperature, etc).

Monitoring and logging of lightning strikes.

Supervising of the smoke detection system.
De-rating in case of critical high temperatures.
1.3.2.1
Active Damping of Tower Oscillations

In the nacelle two accelerometers are mounted for monitoring longitudinal and
transverse oscillations. Such oscillations can in certain situations be introduced
when the rotational frequency of the rotor is close to the natural inherent frequency
(natural oscillation) of the tower, but also high wind speeds in combination with
high turbulence may cause tower oscillations.
If the oscillations exceed a certain limit, the system will bring the turbine back to
normal operating conditions.
To avoid stopping the turbine, tower oscillations are damped by changing the rotational frequency of the rotor and by pitching the blades.
To damp longitudinal oscillations the blades are pitched synchronously. Transverse oscillations are damped by individual pitch.
The turbine is only stopped if the active damping is not successful.
1.3.2.2
Active Damping of Drive Train Torsional Oscillations on Variable Speed

Controlled Turbines
Oscillations that may occur on the drive train can be monitored by measuring the
number of revolutions and can be damped via an active control of the generator.
If the oscillations exceed a certain limit, the system is activated in order to stop further escalation of the drive train oscillations.

Sensor Features
1.4.2.1
Ultrasonic Wind Sensors

The nacelle is equipped with two redundant ultrasonic wind sensors in order to increase the reliability and accuracy of the wind measurements. The wind sensors
measure the wind direction and wind speed.
The sensor is self-testing, and if the sensor signal is defective, the turbine will be
brought to a safe condition.
To improve performance during icy conditions the sensors are equipped with a
heating element.
The sensors are located on top of the nacelle and are protected against lightning
strikes.
1.4.2.2
Smoke Detectors
The tower and nacelle are equipped with optical smoke sensors. If smoke is detected an alarm is sent via the RCS (Remote Control System) and the main
switcher is activated. The detectors are self-controlling. If a detector becomes defective, a warning is sent via the RCS.
1.4.2.3
Lightning Detectors
Lightning detectors are located in each rotor blade.
1.4.2.4
Accelerometers
Accelerometers register the movements of the tower top. The registrations are intelligent-controlled by the VMP and used to remove unfavourable movements and
vibrations.
1.4.2.5
GPS (Real Time Clock)

The GPS is primarily used to synchronise the turbine clock. The GPS accuracy is
within 1 second. Via this system it is possible to compare the various log observations with other turbines within the same area/site. E.g. fluctuations in the power,
grid or lightning activity.

Arc Protection
The transformer and the low voltage switchboards are protected by an arc protection system. In case of an electrical arc, the system will instantly open the main
breaker downstream from the turbine.
1.5
Lightning Protection
The V90 Wind Turbine is equipped with Vestas Lightning Protection, which protects the entire turbine from the tip of the blades to the foundation. The system enables the lightning current to by-pass all vital components within the blade, nacelle
and tower without causing damage. As an extra safety precaution, the control units
and processors in the nacelle are protected by an efficient shielding system.
The lightning protection is designed according to IEC 61024 Lightning Protection of Wind Turbine Generators.
Lightning detectors are mounted on all three rotor blades. Data from the detectors
are logged and enable the operator to identify which one of the blades that were
hit, the exact time of the stroke, and how powerful the lightning was.
These data are very useful for making a remote estimate of possible damage to
the turbine and the need for inspection.

Man.
Often wind turbines are placed in wind farms where park introduced turbulence
must be taken into account.
If the wind conditions of Section 4.2 and uniform wind rose apply, then the wind
turbines can be sited in a wind farm with a distance of at least 5 rotor diameters
(450 m) between the wind turbines.
If the wind turbines are placed in one row with the wind conditions of Section 4.2
and a uniform wind rose, then distance between the wind turbines should be at
least 4 rotor diameters (360 m).
With above in mind, it is recommended that Vestas participate in the micro siting
evaluation of the wind turbine.
3.2
Terrain Conditions
If the terrain is outside the below listed rules or the terrain otherwise seems complex, particular considerations may be necessary and Vestas must be contacted.
Within a radius of 100 meters from the turbine, max. slope of 10
Within a radius of 100 to 500 meters from the turbine, max. slope of 15
Within a radius of 500 to 2000 meters radius from turbine, max. slope of 20
3.3
Connection to the Electrical Power Grid

The transformer in the nacelle is manufactured to meet the nominal voltage of the
interconnection grid (see Section 7.7 for acceptable grid voltage range without further transformation). The voltage of the medium voltage grid must be within +5/5% of nominal voltage. Steady variations within +2/-3 Hz (60 Hz) are acceptable.
Intermittent or rapid grid frequency fluctuations may cause serious damage to the
turbine.
Averaged over the wind turbines lifetime, grid failure must not occur more than
once a week (e.g. maximum of 52 occurrences within a year).
A ground connection of maximum 10 must be present.
The customers grounding system must be designed for local soil conditions. The
resistance to neutral ground must be in accordance with the requirements of the
local authorities.
NB: When ordering, please provide VESTAS with precise information about grid
voltage in order to facilitate specification of the transformers nominal voltage and
winding connection (delta connection on the medium voltage winding is supplied
as default, unless otherwise specified). As an option, VESTAS offers medium voltage switchgear.

General Reservations, Notes and Disclaimers
All data are valid at sea level (=1.225 kg/m3).
Periodic operational disturbances and generator power de-rating may be caused by combination of high winds, low voltage or high temperature.
Vestas recommends that the electrical grid be as close to nominal as possible with little
variation in frequency.
A certain time allowance for turbine warm-up must be expected following grid dropout
and/or periods of very low ambient temperature.
If the wind turbine is sited at elevations greater than 1000 m (3300 ft) above sea level, a
higher than usual temperature rise may occur in electrical components. In such cases, a
periodic power reduction from rated electrical output may occur. This may occur even
when the ambient temperature remains within specified limits.
Furthermore, sites situated at greater than 1000 m (3300 ft.) above sea level usually experience an increased risk of icing in most climates.
Because of continuous development and product upgrade, Vestas reserves the right to
change or alter these specifications at any time.
All listed start/stop parameters (e.g. wind speeds and temperatures) are equipped with
hysteresis control. This can, in certain borderline situations, result in turbine stops even
though the ambient conditions are within the listed operation parameters.

Performance Note
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VESTAS V90-3.0 MW WIND TURBINES CAN AND WILL
VARY DEPENDING ON NUMEROUS VARIABLES, MANY OF WHICH ARE CONSIDERED
AS PART OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT STANDARD SET FORTH IN THESE
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. MANY OF THESE VARIABLES INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, SITE LOCATION, INSTALLATION, TURBINE CONDITION, TURBINE
MAINTENANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL/CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ARE BEYOND THE
CONTROL OF VESTAS. UNLESS OTHERVISE CONTRACTUALLY AGREED IN WRITING,
ALL PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THESE GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, POWER CURVES, ANNUAL
PRODUCTIONS AND NOISE EMISSIONS SHOULD BE USED FOR GUIDEANCE ONLY,
AND NOT AS A PREDICTOR OR GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE VESTAS V903.0 MW WIND TURBINES, PLEASE CONTACT

V100-2.75 & 3.0 MW
The future for low wind sites
Knowing the winds

The V100 knows which way the wind blows, and is designed
to follow it. A significant advance in wind turbine efficiency,
OptiSpeed* allows the rotor speed to vary within a range
of approximately 60 per cent in relation to nominal rpm.
This means that with OptiSpeed, the rotor speed can vary
by as much as 30 per cent above and below synchronous
speed. This means a five per cent improvement in the
annual energy production.
But that is not all, OptiSpeed technology provides several
other advantages. For instance, the variable rotor speed
reduces wear and tear on gearbox, blades and the tower
itself. As an added benefit, the lower speed of rotation
means an overall reduction in sound levels. Finally,
OptiSpeed technology supplies better quality power to
the grid, with rapid synchronisation, reduced harmonic
distortion and less flicker.
Blade technology
The 49-metre rotor blades of the V100 have a newly de
veloped blade profile with improved aerodynamics. A new
plane shape and a curved back edge improve energy gene
ration, while simultaneously making the leading edge of the
blade profile less sensitive to dirt and maintaining a favourable geometrical relationship between successive airfoil
thicknesses.
This translates into to an increase in output and a decrease
in load transfers which results in an improved bottom
line.
* Vestas OptiSpeed is not available in the USA and Canada.
Easy service and maintenance

Vestas is constantly working to reducing the need for service
and maintenance of its wind turbines and, at the same
time, to ensure that service visits can be performed as
effortlessly as possible. In the V100 turbine, access has be
come easier and the working areas have been expanded.
The arrangement of tower and nacelle components has
also been optimised to facilitate service procedures.
Together with a series of new features ranging from auto
matic blade-bearing lubrication to an oil-lubricated yaw
system, this means considerable savings in turbine downtime
and personnel costs. In fact, as a result of these improve
ments, the V100 only needs one service visit per year.
Proven performance
Wind power plants require substantial investments, and
the process can be very complex. To assist in the evaluation
and purchasing process, Vestas has identified four factors
that are critical to wind turbine quality: energy production,
operational availability, power quality and sound level.
We spend months testing and documenting these perfor
mance areas for all Vestas turbines. When we are finally
satisfied, we ask an independent testing organisation to
verify the results a practice we call Proven Performance.
At Vestas we do not just talk about quality. We prove it.

The future for low wind sites
With the new V100-2.75 & 3.0 MW Vestas is focusing on

highly efficient onshore turbines for sites with low to medium
wind speeds. The V100 turbine represents a further develop
ment of the V90-3.0 MW turbine that has already proven
its worth. Differences from the V90 include longer rotor
blades and another gear ratio for optimising power output
in areas with low winds.
The numerous innovations introduced with the V90 turbine
are of course also to be found in the V100 including the
individual pitch system that allows precise, individual ad
justment of the angle of each rotor blade in relation to the
prevailing wind conditions. This innovative pitch system
reduces the loads on the vital components and thus improves

the overall economy.
From materials and production, through transportation, to
the actual erection of the turbine, weight is one of the most
critical cost factors. Over the years, Vestas has succeeded in
reducing weight appreciably in almost all areas of its tur
bines. This tradition has been continued in the V100, which
is designed for optimal load distribution, has lighter blades
and features an innovative nacelle design with a built-in trans
port system. As a result, the V100 is easier to transport than
any other turbine in this class.
