| Falmouth Hospital explored the feasibility of installing a utility-scale wind turbine (500kW to 2000 kW) on its campus in Falmouth. The non-profit hospital met the primary criteria for a wind site: excellent wind resource, adequate area to site the turbine, and sufficient electricity consumption to make the installation of a large turbine economically viable. In addition to confirming the wind resource at the 83-bed hospital’s location, this study researched the potential environmental and avian impacts of a wind turbine at the hospital. A portion of the study included a wind turbine photo simulation. |
