Abstract

This chapter is not designed to summarize the main points from the preceding chapters. This has already been done in the concluding subchapters of each of the Chaps. 3–9. Rather, we will try to look briefly at possible future developments and a few limitations for the use of the material in this book. This concerns technical aspects as well as assessment methods for meteorological conditions and possible climate impacts of large-scale wind energy conversion.
