Rotors are also used in large gas turbines and large plasma turbines. For steam, rotors have 2 main stats: efficiency, and optimal steam flow. The optimal steam flow represents how much steam exactly the rotor is designed to process- using less makes them less efficient, while using more simply voids the excess steam.

The average capacity of newly installed U.S. wind turbines in 2022 was 3.2 megawatts (MW), up 7% since 2021 and 350% since 1998–1999. In 2021–2022, there was an increase for turbines installed in the 2.75–3.5 MW range, while the proportion of turbines at 3.5 MW or larger also increased. Higher capacity turbines mean that fewer
Large wind turbines have been built with single blade, two blades or three blades. Wind turbine of fewer blades need to rotate faster to get more interaction with the wind so as to extract more energy from it, and hence they are noisier. When the number of blades are too many, they can interact with each other and hence reduce the overall
