Along with rising energy demand in the 21st century and the growing recognition of global warming and environmental pollution, energy supply has become an integral and cross cutting element of every countrys economy. In recent years, more and more countries have prioritized sustainable, renewable, and clean energy sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, etc., as the replacements for fossil fuels. Wind power is the fastest growing alternative energy segment, providing an attractive cost structure relative to other alternative energy.
Wind energy has played a significant role in North American and European countries, and some developing countries such as China and India. In 2009, over 37 GW of new wind capacity were installed over the world, bringing the total wind capacity to 158 GW. There is no doubt that wind power will play a major role as the world moves towards a sustainable energy future.
