Abstract

Wind energy has emerged as a critical component in the global pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, offering a clean, renewable, and abundant source of power. This review article explores the advancements in wind energy systems, focusing on technological innovations, integration strategies, economic aspects, and environmental impacts. We delve into the current state of wind energy technology, recent developments, challenges, and future directions. The discussion encompasses turbine design, control systems, grid integration, economic competitiveness, environmental considerations, and the crucial role of research and development. Understanding these aspects is vital for maximizing the potential of wind energy and accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon future.
