Large experimental wind turbines: Where we are now
R. L. Thomas
- 01 Jan 1976
TL;DR: Several large wind turbine projects have been initiated by NASA-Lewis as part of the ERDA wind energy program as mentioned in this paper, which consist of progressively large wind turbines ranging from 100 kW with a rotor diameter of 125 feet to 1500 kW with rotor diameters of 200 to 300 feet.

DOE/NASA Mod-0A wind turbine performance
T. R. Richards,H. E. Neustadter +1 more
- 01 Jan 1978
TL;DR: In this paper, the design and operation of a large wind turbine at Clayton, New Mexico is reported, which is the first identical 200 kW wind turbines to be operated on electric utility networks.
Performance of windmills in a closely spaced array
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on momentum theory is developed for windmill performance with slipstream interference, where only the two-rotor interference problem is considered, and performance improvement results from a more favorable distribution of the kinetic energy of the impinging air over each rotor of the array.
