Largest in WA

Latest comment: 2 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

@Tcsmorey: regarding this edit, the current references say Yandin is the largest. Can you provide a reliable source that it is not? It may be helpful to define what we mean by "largest" - highest output capacity, highest actual output, most turbines, etc. It's possible that one or other is "largest" by one measure but not another. If that's the case, we should state in the article (possibly a footnote) what the measure of "largest" is. Mitch Ames (talk) 05:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comments, which are well received, and you make a good point about providing a current, independent, reliable source and clarifying what is meant by "largest".

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) lists all facilities that are connected to the SWIS, including loads and generators: http://data.wa.aemo.com.au/#facilities:download

Generators are either "Scheduled", i.e. thermal, or "Intermittent Non-Scheduled", i.e. renewable. Of the intermittent facilities, Collgar has the largest Maximum Capacity at 218.5MW, with Yandin 2nd at 211.7MW. These are the maxima we can export into the grid and are slightly lower than installed capacities of 222MW and 214MW, respectively.

Power stations are almost always ranked by generation capacity and this is the measure we are both claiming, so there shouldn't be any ambiguity. Collgar also has the most turbines and the highest actual output, although it's more difficult to find independent reliable sources for these. I'll be happy to clarify that Collgar is the largest capacity wind farm in WA, if that would help. Tcsmorey (talk) 09:44, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that. I've added a footnote, with your reference, to explain the apparent discrepancy between the article and the other references. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:33, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, @Mitch Ames. Tcsmorey (talk) 02:22, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Personal assurances are one thing - WP:RS reliable sources are always much preferred - to keep well away of WP:OR. Also beware that when there is a useage in your reply of we suggests that you should be very aware of WP:COI and the ramifications. Thanks. JarrahTree 09:38, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
