Steady development of wind power technology and the accumulation of extensive operating experience with large clusters of electric utility connected turbines and have resulted in the emergence of wind power as a viable and attractive source of electricity for utilities, particularly in developing nations. A highly effective modular wind power technology, the Wind Amplified rotor Platforms (WARP{trademark}) System, which utilizes many identical vertically integrated Toroidal Accelerator Rotor Platform (TARP{trademark}) Windframe{trademark} building block modules with standard micro-turbines, forms the basis for mass customization (capacity and configuration) in power plant design and construction. WARP wind power brings the fundamentals of mass production as well as economies of scale to power plant design and construction. It can blend well with progressive engineering and construction (E and C) firm approaches which are predicated on a family of standardized designs to reduce cost, improve schedule and quality of units deployed. Since electricity has become the new world commodity with an imperative of low-cost, high-quality and environmentally responsible energy, WARP Systems designs have been proposed to meet these objectives through its inherent efficiency, mass customization and mass production features. WARP system`s ability to integrally operate with photovoltaics, gas turbines or gas diesels, provides also the opportunity to generate baseload power in an environmentally responsible manner.
