Re: Tour of the German offshore wind sector (none / 1)
An interesting analysis of turbines for lower wind speed regions.

These are optimized for lower windspeeds with larger ratio of swept area to generator size. These installations have a larger capacity factor.

Southern states seems to have decided that having wind turbines in their backyard was easier than building the connecting lines from the North (and a lot of the manufacturing of components of turbines happens in the industrial South, of course)

Jerome, I one asked what you thought of turbines in built-up areas. Does this new development change anything?
