The blades turn a generator (发电机) located inside the tower, which creates power.Groups of wind turbines are known as wind farms. Wind farms can be found near farmland, in narrow mountain passes, and even in the ocean, where there are stronger winds. Wind farms create power for nearby ...
In addition to the higher investment costs, offshore projects have higher generation costs (or life cycle costs) from onshore wind farms. Broadly speaking, the cost of generating energy of a wind power project is the sum of initial investment, O&M costs (split into the fixed maintenance cost...
