This is from "Engineering with Rosie". Rosie's thesis was on wind turbines.
TL;DW:-
On-shore, transport can impose practical limits to size.
Off-shore, it's a race between manufacturability/maintainability (smaller is less awkward, can use cheaper materials) versus minimising overhead costs (wiring, etc.). Off-shore sizes still trending up.
