A larger billet compressor wheel and an upgraded turbine wheel have required machining to the turbo housing to make them fit.

Re # 332, «yes, that is very true (after reading more data) that its around 5 - 7 GWh per annum per turbine but the bigger they are the larger the space between them and hence the amount of land required yields not more energy (or a little more as the turbines are built higher.»

Part of that strategy is identifying areas with a large wind resource — a prospecting process that requires high - quality wind measurements at the height of the wind turbines.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that large wind turbines, like all structures over 200 feet high, have white or red lights for aviation safety.

Offshore wind facilities, which are currently not in operation in the United States but may become more common, require larger amounts of space because the turbines and blades are bigger than their land - based counterparts.
