Abstract :
All over the world, energy companies are investing in technologies to make better use of renewable energy to generate electric power. Wind energy is the renewable energy source that had a higher growing in the last decades and can be considered a hope in future based on clean and sustainable energy. Unlike conventional fuels, wind energy is a massive indigenous power source permanently available in virtually every nation in the world. Wind power delivers the energy security benefits of fuel costs, no long term fuel price risk, and avoids the economic and supply risks that can arise with reliance on imported fuels and political dependence on other countries.
