Small 80kW wind-generated electricity to take quality of Ishikari
tailwater purification on. A name called KAZERUCHAN is pounding the
windmill nearly the first.
The water of the thorn door (with a rose) river is usually
discharged into the Ishikari River by a canal water gate, but I
close a canal water gate to flow backward at the time of the flood
from the Ishikari River, and it is discharged from Ishikari flood
control channel into the Sea of Japan. On this account because the
flow of the Ishikari flood control channel is always delayed, and
the lack of the oxygen content of water or the decrease of the
bottom creature occur, I install the air military ration facilities
which send air into the riverbed of the flood control channel and
improve the water. Wind-generated electricity facilities were
established for the power of this air military ration facilities in
1997 to use this local strong wind in consideration for
environment.
Existing, GE) company is made by German TACKE(, and the
wind-generated electricity device installed along Ishikari flood
control channel generates electricity in higher than wind velocity
2.5m / second, and it is it with the system that a change of 40kW
and 80kW is possible to be able to generate electricity efficiently
in a wide wind velocity domain. The driving situation comes by
distant place monitor in Ishikari flood control channel control
center and Ishikari River development Construction Department
Sapporo river office and can stop a windmill by remote control at
the time of the emergency.
The electricity that generated electricity is used at "the museum
of the river" to add air military ration facilities for quality of
Ishikari tailwater purification and Ishikari flood control channel
control center.
There is the cash near the bridge where this windmill is seen.

石狩放水路の水質浄化を担う小型の80kW風力発電「カゼルチャン」
茨戸(ばらと)川の水は、普段は運河水門から石狩川に放流されますが、洪水時には石狩川から逆流してくるため、運河水門を閉じ、石狩放水路から日本海へと放流されます。このため、常時は石狩放水路の流れが滞り、溶存酸素量の不足や水底生物の減少などが発生することから、放水路の河床に空気を送りこむエアレーション設備を設置し、水質改善を行っています。このエアレーション設備の動力に環境に配慮し、この地域の強い風を利用しようと、風力発電設備が平成9年に設けられました。
石狩放水路沿いに設置された風力発電装置はドイツTACKE(現、GE)社製で、風速2.5m/秒以上で発電し、広範囲の風速領域で効率よく発電できるように40kWと80kWの切り替えが可能なシステムとなっています。運転状況は石狩放水路管理センターおよび石狩川開発建設部札幌河川事務所で遠方監視でき、非常時には遠隔操作で風車を停止させることもできます。
発電した電力は、石狩放水路の水質浄化のためのエアレーション設備や石狩放水路管理センターを併設する「川の博物館」で消費され、余剰分は売電しています。
キャッシュはこの風車が見える橋の近くにあります。
