Not been inside so dont really know. Its engineers reports that I get the feedback from. They generate at 32,000 volts and pump it ashore at 12000 volts via the substation. So I guess its a pretty hefty lump of transformer.
Didnt take but a few days to get it online again. Each generator, based on a domestic daily rate, generates about £18,000 of electric per day. Optimum generating capacity is at 9m/s windspeed or about 18knots. There are masses of electronics to govern its shut down cycle. They are based on 10, 20 and 30 minute windspeed averages.
A hatch flew off the propellor boss one day. And the ice build up on the blades this year has been awful. Especially when they start rotating after a calm freezing night!! Better not to be near them then for sure!!!
