Wind Turbines: the Bigger, the Better

A wind turbine''s hub height is the distance from the ground to the middle of the turbine''s rotor. The hub height for utility-scale land-based wind turbines has increased 83%

Increasing Wind Turbine Tower Heights: Opportunities and

Reducing the cost of realizing taller towers is critical to capturing the value of higher wind speeds at higher above ground levels as well as for increasing the viability of wind power in all regions

Wind turbine

If the height of a rooftop-mounted turbine tower is about half of the building height it is near the optimum for maximum wind energy and minimum wind turbulence.
