Wind turbines are innovative structures designed to harness the power of wind and convert kinetic energy from wind into electrical power. The analysis of wind turbines involves understanding wind patterns, mechanical dynamics, and aerodynamic performance to optimize energy capture. Design considerations include selecting appropriate materials, blade configurations, and turbine types - horizontal-axis or vertical-axis, to maximize efficiency and durability. Advanced simulations and wind tunnel testing are crucial in refining these designs. Applications of wind turbines span from small-scale residential setups to large-scale wind farms. They contribute significantly to renewable energy portfolios, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. Offshore wind farms harness stronger and more consistent winds over oceans, further enhancing energy output. Innovations in turbine technology, such as floating turbines and smart grid integration, are expanding their feasibility and efficiency. Overall, wind turbines play a pivotal role in the transition to sustainable energy systems worldwide. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to analysis, design and applications of wind turbines. It presents research and studies performed by experts across the globe. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
