That would depend on the type and size of turbine.
fossil fuels contain coal, if you burn coal it produce's steam,then the steam turn's the turbine in a generator to produce electricity.That's the cost of fossil fuels ,that they can produce electricity.
The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.
The cost to maintain a wind turbine is estimated to be about 2% of the original investment per year. The cost of a wind turbine is $50,000.
Two turbines will require duplication of the equipment which supports the turbines - the steam piping or gas burners to drive the turbines, the condensate or exhaust systems to handle the turbine discharge, the lube oil systems, and the instrumentation to monitor and control the two turbines. These are all cons since the cost of duplicated equipment is roughly double. Two small turbines provide improved reliability over one large turbine since when the turbine has to be shut down for maintenance or repair, one of them can continue to operate. This is a pro for two turbines.
it cost about US$1.8million
YES
Wind Turbines can vary in cost by size. You can get a small wind turbine for around $500.00. A large one can cost around $2000.00.
i think 120
£2.5m how many $$?
16500
Depends on the features (extractions, blade rows, inlet temperature/pressure...), but maybe around $2 million or so.
