I also suspect that the speed of wind turbines is not just directly 
proportional to wind speed. As far as I know, the speed is generally regulated 
either by increasing the turbine load or by changing the blade pitch, to avoid 
them getting damaged in high wind. In extreme  gusty gales they are probably 
stopped with the blades feathered. It would be nice to see one or two turbines 
randomly stopped for maintenance in a wind farm.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
