Les concepteurs ne s’accordent pas pour spécifier une vitesse nominale de vent unique, celle-ci variant entre 10 et 15 m/s; elle est en fait adaptée aux conditions de vent du site de production. Plusieurs manufacturiers européens définissent un coefficient SRC (Specific Rated Capacity, en kW [kilowatts]/m²). […] Ce taux augmente généralement avec la puissance donnant une prime aux grandes turbines. Ce coefficient a un impact notable sur la robustesse mécanique du système (plus un système est poussé en SRC, plus sa conception mécanique doit être robuste).
