Abstract

Wind power has been used for thousands of years to power windmills on land and sailboats. Among all renewable energy sources, wind energy is the most developed in terms of commercial development. This source of energy is renewable and important because of its availability. Earth's power far exceeds the world's energy requirement, and the potential for development is enormous. With an annual output of approximately 110 TWh (Terawatt-hour), a total capacity of approximately 65000 MW (Megawatt) has been manufactured worldwide. The most pressing issues in development are economics, land use, environment and grid efficiency. Renewable energy generation has reached new heights in the last 26 years. Wind and solar growth rates have remained in double digits since 2000. In no other part of the energy industry has this happened. Wind power has become the most attractive new power plant technology due to its low installation cost, no fuel expenditure, and construction period of less than one year, compared to about 12 years for nuclear reactors. Wind power has many good environmental consequences, such as potential changes in renewable energy production and mining, air pollution and non-renewable energy greenhouse gas emissions. Better knowledge of the environmental and economic implications of any given energy source requires a better awareness of how that energy source runs off or is replaced by other energy sources, as well as all other energy sources accessible to the environment and economy needs to be understood better. This research examines the good and negative consequences on the environment.
