Issues for specific design criteria for wind<br />
turbines in the Pacific Region<br />
Anti-corrosion and turbine cooling<br />
example: Fortalezza, Brazil<br />
Survival speed<br />
option: laying down of the wind turbine, e.g. Vernier,<br />
Aero Smart (SMA), Bergery?, Atlantic Orient?<br />
Lattice or tubular tower<br />
less thrust?<br />
but higher danger of corrosion?<br />
