Abstract
A screened wind power generation system for generating power in locations where the sight of wind turbines is undesirable or where advertising space can be utilized. The system uses a screen to cover wind turbines with a mesh size and other characteristics that are appropriate for allowing sufficient wind to pass through to wind turbines. The mesh can be coated or imprinted with surface indicia that constitute advertising or create an appearance that blends with surroundings better than an unscreened wind power generation system. The depth of the screen can vary to better enable muffling of wind turbine noise. The screen cross-section can have an aerodynamic shape to facilitate wind flow through the screen.
