Isn higher hoisting more complex and costly for WARPs?

0

No! Hoisting of WARP modules can be much simpler and easier than erecting a comparable power capacity conventional windmill which has heavy components requiring major rigging equipment. For a WARP, only a relatively small capacity winch or boom hoist is needed to hoist individual modules. Whole WARP modules can be assembled at ground level about the core lattice tower, similar to High Definition TV or radio towers, and then be lifted and secured into place. Consequently, system height (& power capacity) restrictions faced by large bladed windmills are avoided by WARPs.
