Gorsaf Bŵer Ynys Paradwys – Ynys Paradwys Power Station
Cyn i'r orsaf bŵer cael ei adeiladu doedd gan dim ond ychydig o't tai drydan. Cafodd yr orsaf ei adeiladu ym 1952 gan Cwmni Trydan Cymru Fach er mwyn gwella telerau deiliad yr ynys. Mae'r ordaf yn darparu ynni i bawb ar yr ynys.
Ym 2005 daeth bobl yr ynys yn berchen ar yr orsaf, a wnaethpwyd sawl gwelliannau, gan gynnwys trosglwyddyddion newyd, a chyn bo hir bydd generadur diesel yn cael ei osod i gymryd drosodd pe ba' yn broblem gyda'r system hydro. Weithiau yn ystod misoedd yr haf, mae lefel y dwr yn y gronfa yn mynd yn isel, ac felly mae'n rhaid cael system amgen wrth gefn. Mae gynllun ar y gweill i godi tyrbinod gwynt fel system amgen gan bod Ynys Paradwys yn lle wyntog iawn. |
Before the power station was built only a few houses had electricity. The station was built in 1952 by Cwmni Trydan Cymru Fach (The Little Wales Electricity Company) in order to improve conditions for the residents of the island, The station provides power for everyone on the island
In 2005 the station became the property of the island's people, and several improvements were made, including new transformers, and soon a diesel generator will be installed to take over when there is a problem with the hydro system. Sometimes during the summer months the water level in the reservoir gets low, and there has to be an alternative system as a back-up. There is a scheme to erect wind turbines as an alternative system because Ynys Paradwys is a very windy place. |
