High wind speeds yield more energy because wind power is proportional to the cube of wind speed. 4 Average annual wind speeds of 6. We've found that wind turbine size directly impacts power generation – the bigger, the better We're talking exponential increases in electricity output with even. . The size of wind turbines makes all the difference, as taller towers and longer blades capture more wind and boost wind power generation. What's the relationship between size, wind, and power generation? 4. How have. . This variable power can be predicted by looking at atmospheric stability, according to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientist Sonia Wharton and colleague Julie Lundquist of the University of Colorado at Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In a paper appearing in the Jan. . Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy.
