Abstract: Wind energy has become a genuine source of energy over the past few years as larger, more efficient turbine designs have produced increasing amount of power. Transportation is increasingly challenging because of the size of the components: individual blades and tower requires specialized trucks and straight wide roads. Today’s wind turbines are also incredibly top heavy. As the weight and height increase, the material cost of wider, stronger support towers, as well as the cost of maintaining components attached so far from the ground, are cutting into the efficiency benefits for larger turbines.
