Abstract

Man has been harnessing the energy of the wind for thousands of years, using it to power sailing boats and wind turbines on land. In terms of commercial development, wind energy is the least advanced of all renewable energy sources. Because it is both continuous and easily accessible, this power resource is intriguing. The world's capability exceeds total energy consumption by a large margin, signifying considerable development potential. Over 60 000 MW of power has been installed globally, with an annual production of roughly 100 TWh. The economics, land use, the ecology, and grid capacity are all important obstacles to continued expansion. Renewable energy has risen at an unprecedented pace during the previous 25 years. Wind and solar have risen at double-digit rates since 2000. This segment of the energy business has grown at a breakneck pace. Wind energy is the least expense new power plant innovation, with cheaper setup expenses, no fuel expenses, and a construction time of less than a year, compared to nuclear power plants, which take over 10 years to develop. As a result, a better understanding of the ecological and financial effects of any particular energy source necessitates a better comprehension of how that source of energy disperses or is dislocated by other energy sources, as well as a better knowing of all other available energy sources' environmental and economic effects. This research provides an examination of the good and negative effects of the environment.
