<p>A wind turbine arranged to operate in confined area is disclosed. The wind turbine is constrained within two axially displaced end plates and diametrically opposed wind barriers. The wind barriers are parallel to the axis and extend between end plates. The wind barriers each having an axially extending inner edge radially spaced from an outer swept surface of the turbine blades by less than 20% of the turbine radius. In another embodiment, there is disclosed a 2-dimensional array of wind turbines, with wind barriers being arranged between parallel axes.</p> |
