The idea is good because normal wind turbines are not so great against typhoons. I think it is more a contest between maintenance costs and operating time. Typhoons do bring in strong wind, and we even have a Typhoon Season. Just not sure how many per year, and how close the typhoons should be, for the generator to be economically viable.
