Part 3/7:
Wind turbine technology is experiencing a trend of increased size and capacity. The SL 27150 has a rotor diameter of 885 feet (approximately 270 meters) and blades that extend up to 131 meters each. The expansive area covered during a full rotation is around 616,000 square feet, enabling it to generate approximately 56 million kilowatt-hours of energy annually. This means that with just a small fleet of these turbines—10 could power a city of 1.6 million residents, while 100 turbines could support a population of 16 million.
