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 />
