ABSTRACT

Obviously, wind energy or power is all about wind. In simple terms, wind is the response of the atmosphere to uneven heating conditions. The atmosphere of Earth is constantly in motion. Anyone observing the constant cloud movement and weather changes around them is well aware of this phenomenon. Although its physical

manifestations are obvious, the importance of the dynamic state of our atmosphere is much less obvious. The constant motion of the atmosphere of Earth is both horizontal (wind) and vertical (air currents). This air movement is the result of thermal energy produced from heating of the surface of the Earth and the air molecules above. Because of differential heating of the surface of the planet, energy flows from the equator poleward.
