They are both the same. A wind farm is made up of several wind turbines. So wind farming would be best because it could create a great amount of energy if enough turbines were used.

Actually these systems produce virtually no energy. They are great political units though.

A wind turbine is rated for winds of 28 mph. Almost impossible average. The average runs closer to 14 mph. This produces 10% of the rated power claimed by the utilities. The 10% rated power that is generated is variable as the wind blows faster and slower throughout the day. Fossil fuel plants take long periods to get up and running so these plants are left running while we get power from the wind.

Net result is zero savings, no fossil fuel plant shutdowns and a small increase in overall cO2 produced (manufacturer and maintenance of turbine). Throw in the thousands of birds and bats killed by them they make no sense.

How do Darrieus wind turbines differ from Brush wind turbines?

Darrieus wind turbines have a vertical axis and rely on lift forces to spin the blades, while Brush wind turbines have a horizontal axis and capture wind with a larger rotor diameter. Darrieus turbines are typically smaller and better suited for urban environments, while Brush turbines are larger and more efficient for utility-scale applications.

Why does size matter with wind turbines?

Size matters with wind turbines because larger turbines are more efficient at capturing wind energy due to their increased rotor diameter and taller tower height. This allows them to generate more electricity at lower wind speeds and produce higher energy outputs. Additionally, larger turbines benefit from economies of scale, making them more cost-effective than smaller turbines in terms of energy production per unit.
