Sand in the wind - Basics & Interface - Blender Artists Community
These angled air vents at either end of the turbine keep the whole structure cooler by allowing air to rise and circulate. The interior of any wind turbine needs to stay below the crucial level of 55 degrees Celsius degrees Fahrenheit. Anything hotter knocks out heat-sensitive electronic components. Extreme temperatures also punish turbine machinery.
A standard, unmodified wind turbine can work at full power only up to an outside temperature of 35 degrees Celsius 95 degrees Fahrenheit. A temperature of between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius reduces its power capacity.

It shuts down completely when the mercury tops 40 degrees Celsius degrees Fahrenheit. But Calderon says that a modified turbine can work 5 degrees Celsius above normal levels.
Calderon says that the self-cooling, vented turbine can produce electricity at percent of its generation capacity until the outside temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. It still cranks out some power between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius.

Desert-resistant turbines can open up huge swathes of barren, unused land in North Africa and the Middle East for renewable electricity generation. The vast deserts of the region are all potential homes for a sandstorm-proof and heat-resistant turbine, says Calderon. This is not the first time GE engineers designed a turbine to deal with extreme weather.
