In the case of constructing one 2,000 kW wind turbine(blade diameter: 80 m).
Required occupied area for the installation work is approx.1 ha (hectare)(100 m × 100 m).
Only the tower with the diameter of approximately four meters and part of the upper structure
of the foundation will remain aboveground after the installation was completed.
In case of multiple turbines are installed, the required land area differs depending on the
numbers of arrays in order to keep distances between turbines.
- Land areas
・2,000 kW × 30 turbines × 1 line ≒ 86 ha ⇒ 70 MW/km2
・2,000 kW × 15 turbines × 2 lines ≒ 360 ha ⇒ 17 MW/km2
・2.000 kW × 10 turbines × 3 lines ≒ 410 ha ⇒ 15 MW/km2
- For the estimate of the potential,
10 MW/km2 was applied for the allowance.
