Steady development of turbine technology, and the accumulation of wind farm operating experience, have resulted in the emergence of wind power as a potentially atractive source of electricity for utilities. Since wind turbines are inherently modular, with medium sized units typically in the range of a few hundred kilowatts each, they lend themselves well to distributed generation service. A patented wind power technology, the toroidal accelerator rotor platform wind frame, forms the basis for a proposed network-distributed, wind power plant combing electric generation and transmission. While heavily building on proven wind turbine technology, this system is projected to surpass traditional configuration windmills through a unique distribution/transmission combination, superior performance, user-friendly operation and maintenance, and high availability and reliability.Furthermore its enviromental benefits include little new land requeriment, relatively attractive apperance, lower noise and EMI/TV interference and reduced avian mortality potential. Its cost of energy is projected to be very competitive, in the range of from approximately 2colones/kwh a 5 colones/kwh depending on the wind resource..
