This issue is usually coupled with the wind characteristics of the location to be developed. The most important to get the most capacity utilisation through the relationship within the power rating and the rotor diameter of the wind turbine.

Only through this way it is possible to develop projects in weak wind regions and to get profit of them. Also the bigger the wind turbines get, the most difficult it is to get the permits to developt them since the authorities would be more reluctant regarding its impact to the nature and landscape.

Not an easy issue at all.

Bigger is bountiful as far as Wind Turbine Size is concerned. Fewer wind turbines of larger size means a lot of space conservation besides cost reduction compared to smaller size wind turbines.
