In most cases, wind turbines are located on high ground in open conditions. Planting trees that will exceed 30 feet in height anywhere in the prevailing wind path (fore or aft of the turbine) is likely to result in reduced …
Can I plant trees to increase the efficiency of my wind turbine?
Depending on their size, density, and placement, trees can either decelerate or accelerate wind. Trees also create turbulence in the prevailing wind flow, which reduces the efficiency of the wind turbine. To maximize turbine efficiency, there should be no obstructions …
