A Critical Review of Wind Energy Based Power Generation Systems
Wind energy based power generation is globally popular as renewable source of energy and nowadays it is bridging the gap of increasing energy demand of world. It is termed as one of the best solution to the usage reduction of fossil fuels and in turned fighting with the problem of global warming.
The presented manuscript not only enumerates the significance of wind power but also highlights the important issues associated with wind energy based power plants: important ones are social and environmental. A case study is also presented in the paper modeled as wind energy generation system. Researchers and scientists are welcomed to provide the solutions to these highlighted issues so that these solutions can be used worldwide. This will make wind energy more popular and will be promoted exponentially.
