Turbines sited in rows along the southeastern and northwestern edges of a mesa (a tabletop mountain) surrounded by deep ravines. Typical turbine spacing is 2.5 D and the longest row holds 56 turbines.Dust, sand and high temperatures place extraordinary demands on the wind turbines.
Consequently, the design was modified for the desert-like conditions, providing additional cooling and protection against wind-blown sand.
