Wind Farms Capable of Altering Local Weather

In a study published recently by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), it was revealed that large wind farms can have a significant effect on near-surface air temperatures. It is believed that the changes are caused by the turbulence created by the rotor blades which, if altered in sized, would limit the impact on the surrounding temperatures.

 

In addition to the proposed rotor blade minimisation, it is also believed that by situating wind farms in areas which are naturally turbulent, the influence of the turbines could be reduced.

 

The discoveries were first recorded some 21… Continue reading
