One Day at the Wind Farm

One summer day at Breckinridge Wind Farm nearby, a time lapse video went somewhat awry..

After a “Lackluster” 2013, Wind Power Grew in 2014: “Wind power additions rebounded in 2014, with 4,854 MW of new capacity added in the United States and $8.3 billion invested.”
“Wind power represented 24% of electric-generating capacity additions in 2014. Wind power was the third-largest source of new generation capacity in 2014, after natural gas and solar. Since 2007, wind power has represented 33% of all U.S. capacity additions…”

“Lower turbine prices have driven reductions in reported installed project costs. The capacity-weighted average installed project cost within our 2014 sample stood at roughly $1,710/kW—down $580/kW from the apparent peak in average reported costs in 2009 and 2010.”

“Wind PPA prices have reached all-time lows. After topping out at nearly $70/MWh for PPAs executed in 2009, the national average levelized price of wind PPAs that were signed in 2014 (and that are within the Berkeley Lab sample) fell to around $23.5/MWh nationwide—a new low” and “below the bottom of the range of nationwide wholesale power prices.”

1. What went "somewhat awry"?

What am I missing?

2. I was experimenting with time lapse of the turbines

when I first looked at this clip, I thought it was a screw-up because I was going for a smooth, although accelerated, spin. But after watching it for a while I decided it had kind of a Pixar feel, and only needed the right music...

3. Very cool! Even if unintentional, that's a great effect...
