As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double braces, e.g. {{Wind-farm-stub}}.
Wind speeds can vary considerably across a wind farm site if the terrain is complex (hilly) or there are changes in roughness (the height of vegetation or buildings). Wind flow modeling software, based on either the traditional WAsP linear approach or the newer CFD approach, is used to calculate these variations in wind speed.

[8] The westerlies can be particularly strong, especially in the Southern Hemisphere, where there is less land in the middle to cause the progression of west ...
The Vattenfall utility company study found Hydroelectric, nuclear stations and wind turbines to have far less greenhouse emissions than other sources studied.. A typical study of a wind farm's Life cycle assessment, when not connected to the electric grid, usually results in similar findings as the following 2006 analysis of 3 installations in the US Midwest, where the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ...

Category 3 Hurricane Matthew's close passage of Brevard County, Florida on the morning of October 7, 2016 prompted the issuance of the first Extreme Wind Warning.. An extreme wind warning (SAME code EWW) is an alert issued by the National Weather Service for areas on land that will experience sustained surface winds 100 knots (115 mph, 185 km/h, 51 m/s) or greater within one hour.
Many wind power companies work with local communities to reduce environmental and other concerns associated with particular wind farms. [109] [110] [111] Appropriate government consultation, planning and approval procedures also help to minimize environmental risks. [112] [113] [114] Some people may still object to wind farms. [115]
