Abstract

The article is a synthetic review of contemporary wind energy issues. It was created on the basis of a survey of literature from the last two years, with mainly review articles. This work is intended to be a source of information for a wide group of scientists and students from various fields. The aim is to interest them in a wide range of topics related to wind energy and wind turbines. This may allow for the selection of an area and the undertaking of research in this interesting and future-oriented field.

Highlights

  • In this introduction I consciously omit the analysis of the causes and the great importance of the development of renewable energy, including wind energy, in the contemporary world

  • The parameters related to capacity, lifetime, and reaction speed are improving. This enables the development of complex control systems for wind turbines and the improvement of the quality of wind energy smoothing systems

  • As a conclusion of this survey, I would like to once again encourage readers to take up challenges and undertake research in the field of broadly understood wind energy

Summary

Introduction

This publication is intended to provide an overview of selected wind energy issues and problems In this introduction I consciously omit the analysis of the causes and the great importance of the development of renewable energy, including wind energy, in the contemporary world. The approach I propose in this review publication may be controversial for many experienced scientists, so I invite you to polemics but, above all, to share your achievements in the field of wind energy. Such an opportunity was created when I guest edited the special issue of, “Advances in Wind Energy and Wind Turbines” in the journal Energies
