2. IEC 61400 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61400

   IEC 61400 is a set of design requirements made to ensure that wind turbines are appropriately engineered against damage from hazards within the planned lifetime. The standard concerns most aspects of the turbine life from site conditions before construction, to turbine components being tested, [ 1 ] assembled and operated.

4. Wind farm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm

   Due to a very low surface power density and spacing requirements, wind farms typically need to be spread over more land than other power stations. [121] [122] Their network of turbines, access roads, transmission lines, and substations can result in "energy sprawl"; [123] although land between the turbines and roads can still be used for ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   Wind turbine design is a careful balance of cost, energy output, and fatigue life. ... It did not consider requirements for small turbines or offshore turbines ...

6. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no local air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources. Onshore wind farms can have a significant visual impact. [115] Due to a very low surface power density and spacing requirements, wind farms typically need to be spread over more land than other power stations.

7. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

   The world's tallest vertical-axis wind turbine, in Cap-Chat, Quebec Vortexis schematic Vertical axis wind turbine offshore. A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator ...
