It's very hard to believe that this wasn't already standard.

It's very hard to believe that this wasn't already standard.
- Silverback_VII 4y agoFor common sense nowadays you need at least 10 scientists and one big expensive simulation.
- ben_w 4y agoYou are severely overestimating "common sense". Joe and Jane Average (and by extension various stages of planning permission in certain locations) are still saying "but what about when theirs no wind!?!? lol" as if transmission lines don't exist.
- deelowe 4y agoJoe and Jane Average are not designing windmill farms. There are clearly some very very smart people working on these systems.
- ansible 4y agoEh, not it is not hard to believe. The research was definitely worth pursing. A 1.2% overall efficiency gain is not nothing, and is indeed significant enough that I think people will want to implement it. On the other hand, without doing some extensive research, it wasn't clear what the magnitude of the improvement actually was.
