Relates to the relative height and diameter of the tower in a wind turbine system. The wind turbine tower is an important element of any wind system. Wind speed increases sharply with the tower height which causes a major increase in the amount of electricity that can be produced. The same turbine can increase its power by 30% or more if the height of the tower is 30m instead of 18m. Usually however the towers and the turbines are intrinsically linked and the height and diameter of the tower depend largely on the size and capacity of the turbine
