Taking advantage of modern turbines

Robert Thresher

Nature Energy· Volume 3· Issue 6

Abstract

Wind facilities have generally deployed turbines of the same power and height in regular uniform arrays. Now, the modern generation of turbines, with customer-selectable tower heights and larger rotors, can significantly increase wind energy’s economic potential using less land to generate cheaper electricity.
