Summary
This report has two primary objectives. First, it seeks to inform the opportunities and potential associated with increasing wind turbine hub heights. It also explores the conditions and locations where taller towers offer the most significant potential to increase wind technology performance and reduce costs. The second objective is to examine the status of tall tower technology as a key subcomponent of wind power advancement.
