3. Background
• Create a Wind Farm in
Simoda, West Virginia
• 100 1.5 MW wind
turbines
• Clean energy is
produced from wind
turbines and made into
electricity
• Simoda, West Virginia
has the potential to
create a new
sustainable industry
http://exploringgreentechnology.com/wind-energy/how-does-
wind-energy-work/
5. Scope of the Project
• Not concerned with
where specifically the
electricity goes
• The construction details
are assumed to be
worked out by the
construction company
