Large Wind Turbine

On-shore wind farms

On-shore wind energy systems may be either individual machines, or multiple machines arranged as a wind farm, in a linear arrangement or in an array arrangement.

Wind turbines in a wind farm should be installed with certain separation distance from each other, to avoid causing excessive turbulence on each other, or causing a significant reduction in the power output of the back-row wind turbines due to "wake effect" caused by the front-row turbines.

Roads need to be constructed for transporting the large components of the turbines (in particular the blades) to the installation sites. Power lines carry the generated power from the wind farm to the grid connection point.
