Abstract

Wind energy technology has developed extremely rapidly, and many commercial wind turbines now on the market have capacity ratings of one megawatt or more. Energy productivity per unit of rotor area has steadily improved. Turbine prices have decreased per unit capacity, so the cost of wind-generated electricity has fallen steadily. This paper examines design concepts, applications and economics, and looks to further developments, including offshore wind energy.
