Abstract

Wind energy has a long history and has evolved into a crucial component of sustainable energy solutions. This paper introduces the development and distribution of wind energy, explaining the components and functionality of wind turbines, particularly Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT). It discusses their advantages, such as sustainability and low operational costs, as well as their disadvantages, including site selection challenges, noise, aesthetic concerns, and environmental impacts on wildlife. The paper also explores the significant global expansion of wind energy, highlighting the rapid increase in wind power capacity and its role in the global energy mix. Moreover, the study evaluates the efficiency of wind turbines, considering factors such as blade design, pitch control, and the Betz limit. It suggests advanced site assessment, noise reduction technologies, and environmental impact mitigation strategies to optimize wind energy efficiency and acceptance. These strategies are essential for maximizing the potential of wind energy as a key player in the transition to a sustainable energy future.
