Rethinking wind turbine engineering to provide the flexibility to meet real off-grid needs The bigger the better? The whole idea of modern wind turbines lies in the renowned techno-mantra of “the bigger the better”, as explained here by (for example) the US Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy. That’s basically because wind turbines need to be large (read: very large) to exploit the...
