> how size improves usage and efficiency The power of a wind turbine scales linearly with the swept area. The swept area scales as the square of the height. Furthermore, wind turbine power also scales with the third power of wind speed, and wind speed goes up with height (though not linearly). So you can see why the physics of the problem are strongly incentivizing size increases. |
