If you look at a size comparison of wind turbines that are commissioned today and those that were commissioned 25 years. You will find that the average blade length has gone up 3-4 times.
- hannob 4y agoThere's been pretty much one major factor that made wind turbines more efficient: They got bigger. And it doesn't look like this trend is going to stop any time soon. Nobody wants your tiny wind turbine blades from 20 years ago, because when you put up new wind turbines you want the big, new, more efficient ones.
