Abstract

Figure 3 shows a wind management structure for a wind turbine (12) and which comprises a plurality of generally vertically extending panels (21) arranged to define a chamber (11) for housing the wind turbine. At least some of the panels comprise doors selectively movable between open and closed positions by being pivoted about a generally vertical axis to control the flow of wind through the chamber (11). The wind management structure also comprises a multiplicity of generally vertical deflectors (13) disposed externally of the chamber (11) and arranged so that depending upon the wind direction relative to the deflectors, at least some of the deflectors direct wind towards the chamber. Each deflector (13) defines a respective aperture (26) in the region of the chamber, each aperture being closed by an adjacent door (13) when in its open position.
