Humidity also impacts the overall efficiency of our wind turbines. Higher the humidity levels increase the water content in the air, which can lead to erosion and wear on the turbine blades. This deterioration can result in decreased aerodynamic efficiency and lower overall efficiency of the wind turbine system.
