The site below has a great, comprehensive overview of all things wind. It has an answer on almost any question about size, placement, speed, etc.
bigger blades more power.
Probably power is proportional to blade length squared, ie, proportional to the area swept by the blades.
Eg, GE 3.5 MW has swept area of 9677 m²
GE 1.5 MW has swept area of 3904 or 4657 m² (2 different models)
