Abstract:
This paper presents the current status of wind energy technology and its developments. There are some challenges in the wind energy technology, once these challenges are overcome, wind energy can provide most of the electricity needs in the world. Wind is known globally as an environmentally friendly and cost effective solution to energy shortages. However, challenges remain in designing efficient and effective control systems that would maximize the output power of the turbines. This paper aims to provide a brief review of the current state of control technology for wind energy systems and also explores technical designs, challenges and areas of ongoing research.
