Per their datasheet, the SKS PN-14 produces 80-200 kW. Now compare this to a modern Vestas V164 8000kW turbine. The latter seems way simpler engineering-wise to me

You are comparing a 20 tonnes system to a 1300 tonnes system

But then having a nominal capacity of 8000kW from the 20mt system, you’d need maybe 1200 tonnes of the 20mt systems.

I’m not sure how that’s better or simpler. Sounds vastly more complex and expensive.
