From “6.2. Open questions and challenges”:
In this respect, some lessons
can be learned from conventional wind energy. The first electricity
generating wind turbine with a power of about 4 kW was developed
in 1883. Almost 50 years later, they reached 100 kW and the first
megawatt-scale wind turbine was connected to the local electrical
distribution system in 1941. Although advances were also made on
the aerodynamic efficiency, such spectacular scaling of the power was
possible by increasing the size of the machines. Important structural,
aerodynamic, and aeroelastic challenges were faced like finding the
balance between blade length, weight and aerodynamic performance
while avoiding catastrophic aeroelastic instabilities [266]. Currently,
the most powerful prototype is able to produce more than 15 MW.
On the other hand, AWE took momentum in the early 21st century
and has reached nowadays a good level of maturity for technologies
ranging 100–200 kW in about 25 years. Following the path of wind
turbines, a logic reasoning suggests that to become a competitive on
grid solution, AWE systems will likely scale up to the megawatt-scale
by increasing the system size.

Regarding the wind turbine from 1883 mentioned:
History of wind power - Wikipedia
The first electricity-generating wind turbine was installed by the Austrian Josef Friedländer [wd] at the Vienna International Electrical Exhibition in 1883,[3][4][5] followed by wind generators, e.g., in Scotland in July 1887 by Prof James Blyth of Anderson’s College, Glasgow (the precursor of Strathclyde University).[6] Blyth’s 10 metres (33 ft) high cloth-sailed wind turbine was installed in the garden of his holiday cottage at Marykirk in Kincardineshire, and was used to charge accumulators developed by the Frenchman Camille Alphonse Faure to power the lighting in the cottage,[6] thus making it the first house in the world to have its electric power supplied by wind power.
What would be the commissioning date of an AWE system for “the first house in the world to have its electric power supplied by wind power” in AWE field?
