OSTI ID:1763980
The Big Adaptive Rotor (BAR) project aims to design and enable the next generation of land-based wind turbines with 206-meter (m) rotors, which will increase capacity factors by 10% or more over a typical land-based turbine. High-energy-capture turbines have many advantages, but the length and width of larger turbine blades to enable these machines creates transportation challenges that must be overcome to make true on the adage, bigger is better.
