In ten years, the wind industry could see an upper limit to onshore turbine technology reached. Offshore turbines of 12-15MW should be fairly common by then, but can we really expect onshore turbines to approach 10MW?
As we continue to push the boundaries of product and technology development, we are likely to find that physical size limits, as well as weight-power ratios, put large onshore turbines at a commercially competitive disadvantage.
