Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 144272, filed December 30, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Unless otherwise indicated herein, what is described in this section is not prior art to the claims in this application and is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0003] Power generation systems can convert chemical and / or mechanical energy (eg, kinetic energy) into electrical energy for various applications, such as utility systems. As one example, a wind energy system may convert wind kinetic energy into electrical energy. [0004] The use of wind turbines as a tool for harnessing energy has been used for many years. Conventional wind turbines generally include large turbine blades located atop a tower. The cost of manufacturing, erecting, servicing and maintaining such wind turbine towers and wind turbines is considerable. [0005] One alternative t...
