Embodiment Construction
[0037]FIG. 2 shows a wind turbine according to the prior art. The turbine includes a set of blades 2, a hub 4 a nacelle 6, and a tower 8. Prior art turbines can include any number of blades 2, although three blades is the most common configuration. The blades 2 can be oriented upwind or downwind of the tower 8, although upwind is the most common and most efficient configuration. A yaw system is provided to allow rotation between the nacelle 6 and the tower 8 so that the nacelle 6 can be aligned with the wind direction. The rotor diameter is defined as two times the length of a blade 2 plus the diameter of the hub 4. Typical rotor diameters for commercially available wind turbines have grown significantly over the past 15 to 20 years. In the mid 1980s, state of the art commercially-available wind turbines had rotor diameters of approximately 20 meters and power ratings of approximately 100 kW. In 2001, the average size of wind turbines installed in Germany was 1284 kW, and the US mar...
