    Abstract: A system for generating electricity from wind. The system includes a free-standing structure or some level of building integrated structure comprising at least one inlet, one exit and one APCC ahead of the turbine. At least one turbine is located near the exit end of the APCC. The turbine is adapted to convert wind energy into mechanical energy and the system then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy and distributes it as designed and needed. At least one dynamically configurable flow control structure is located in the APCC between the air intake and the turbine. One or more dynamically configurable vanes are optionally located near the air inlet to maximize air flow into the APCC. A dynamic flow control system configures the flow control structure in response to air flow conditions to optimize the generation of electrical energy.
