Annex 2.- Landscape and objects that influence on wind turbines
When the wind is eclipsed by the objects it finds in its way, it reduces its
speed and turbulence results. The performance of a wind turbine installed on
the wrong location will be adversely affected by turbulence and light winds.
To maximize the performance of your wind turbine, it should be installed as
far as possible from the obstruction and atop a tower higher point from this
obstacle.
If the wind turbine is going to
be
installed in a valley, it should
be at the lowest point where
the wind is channeled and
freely flowing, or at the
highest peak of the valley,
where it can capture wind
moving in any direction.
