Deploying the technological advancement embodied in the patent into the turbine design process will reduce the turbine's mass and cost, increase speed to market, and reduce manufacturing and installation costs. Steve Taber, the inventor of technology and co-founder of the Princeton Energy Group, indicates, "the improved turbine performance will result in a 5-10% projected CapEx advantage. Since wind-generated electricity is dominated by CapEx (not OpEx), this CapEx advantage goes almost directly to the bottom line." With a remaining life of 12 years and a priority date in 2009, the patented t...
