Abstract:
A facility for producing electrical energy has a plurality of shrouds, a plurality of wind turbines, a power system, a plurality of modules, a pivotal mounting system, and a support structure. Each shroud has a throat which increases the velocity of the prevailing wind passing through the shroud. The plurality of wind turbines are each operably positioned in the throat of one of the plurality of shrouds. The power system is adapted for converting mechanical energy from the plurality of wind turbines to electrical energy. The support tower includes a central tower for supporting the shrouds and wind turbines above the surface, and may further include peripheral towers, guys, and/or other structural components.
