It seems that small and large are too granular for the complexities of wind
turbines. Wikipedia has numerous sizes of wind turbines. There is a
classification for small, 100kw or less wind turbines, but it is not
related to physical size, just power output.

Tagging wind turbines should have room for type, tower height, rotor and
hub size and power output.
