A new generation of wind turbine is under development. The plan envisages land- based turbines with a rated power of 4 MW and a diameter of 125 m (about the same as the London Eye). Given that the anticipated capacity factor, C, is 0.3, what is the expected energy pay-back time? 1.9 years 1.2 years 3.2 years 2.4 years
