Insuring wind power in China against typhoons and earthquakes / Oliver Kübler... [et al.]. — Zurich : Swiss Re Management, Ltd., cop. 2017

To achieve economies of scale, wind parks often comprise several dozen wind turbines. If they are located in areas exposed to earthquakes or peak gusts from severe typhoons, there is a chance that they are damaged or snapped in two in extreme cases
