Sumario:The article examines wind-generated electricity and algorithms that are being proposed by researchers to reorient turbines to improve their output. Topics discussed include how as of 2018 wind energy made up 6.6% of utility-scale electricity generation, the overall tendency to build higher and bigger turbines and the work of Paul Fleming, who worked to develop tools with colleagues at the U.S. National Renewable Energy Labs (NREL).
