Summary

INTRODUCTION

The development of renewable energy is an inevitable response to the dual challenges of the energy crisis and global warming. In order to reduce the cost of electricity, modern wind turbines are increasing in rotor size and unit power. The big wind turbines currently in the market are reaching 15 MW rated power and will be possibly increased to 20 MW in a few years. In such a scenario, the continued development in wind energy has led to large rotors that are much lighter and cheaper per kilowatt than before. Research in many aspects of wind energy innovation is important, such that the overall objectives of low cost of energy, high system reliability and environmental-friendliness can be achieved.
