Real-world tests of small wind turbines in Netherlands and the UK

- lucb1e 10y agoInteresting article. From 2010 though, so I wonder if prices have changed by now, but still relevant. Edit: Main takeaway: > close to the test site stands a (relatively) large wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 18 metres. [...] It can power 42 Dutch households. [...] it delivers almost 20 times as much energy [as the small ones]. This brings the cost down to 4,523 euro per household, which is 8 times more economical than the best performing small wind turbine (and 45 times cheaper than the worst performing small wind turbine).
