Wind Harvesters will typically be installed very close to each other in groups of 2-7+ turbines to take advantage of the Coupled Vortex Effect. An open space between each array in a row is left to allow wildlife to more easily pass through. Modeling shows that the next row downwind needs to be five times the rotor height from the first row in order to produce the same amount of energy as the first row, which for Model 4.0 is 215 ft downwind. Theoretically, 125 MW of Wind Harvesters could be placed in a square mile using this basis for calculation. In reality, terrain and erosion concerns, bird and bat flyways, internal roads, and other factors will result in a less dense concentration.

LiDAR data from the Pilot Project will confirm how far apart rows of Wind Harvesters can be installed and still produce as much energy as the upwind row.
