ABSTRACT

Wind turbine technology offers a cost-effective alternate renewal energy source. It is important to mention that a wind turbine is capable of generating greater amounts of electrical energy with zero greenhouse effects compared to other energy generating schemes including solar cell, tidal wave, biofuel, hydrogen, biodiesel, and biomass technologies. A wind turbine is the reverse of an electrical fan. A wind turbine uses wind energy to generate the electricity; a fan uses electricity to generate wind. In more sophisticated terminology, a wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
