Abstract

With the impact of climate change on the planet, wind energy has become a key part of the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. Over the past decade, the wind energy industry has experienced rapid growth, with the production of wind turbines expanding to meet the growing demand. This expansion is not only a testament to advances in wind turbine design and manufacturing technology, but also a global commitment to increasing the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix. On the one hand, wind energy, as a renewable energy source, plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions as it is capable of generating electricity without producing harmful emissions or depleting natural resources. Unlike fossil fuels, wind energy is abundant, widely distributed and sustainable in meeting the world's energy needs. Wind energy helps to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and minimize water consumption compared to conventional methods of power generation.
