Stateline Wind Project
The Stateline Wind Farm is a wind farm located on Vansycle Ridge, which receives 16 to 18 mph (26 – 29 km/h) average wind speeds from the Columbia River Gorge, Columbia Gorge, on the border between Washington (state), Washington and Oregon in the United States. With 454 turbines, it is the largest wind project in the Northwestern United States. Costing United States dollar, $300 million to build, it began operation in 2001. The project employs 660 kW capacity Vestas wind turbines, which collectively will produce a maximum electrical output of 306.9 Megawatt, MW. On average, the project is expected to produce 30 to 35 percent of that capacity year-round. Turbines are controlled individually by electronic systems which direct them into the wind and adjust the pitch of the blades to maximize electrical production at any wind speed from 7 to 56 mph (11.3 to 90 km/h). The turbines automatically shut down at wind speeds excess of , a feature which allows them ...

Course

The headwaters of the Walla Walla River lie in the Blue Mountains (Oregon), Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. The river originates as the North and South Forks of the Walla Walla River. The surrounding forested land holds a network of hiking and mountain-biking trails. The confluence of the North and South Forks lies east of Milton-Freewater, Oregon, Milton–Freewater, Oregon. The river flows eastward to reach ...
