Introduction

Abstract

AbstractElectricity is the most well-known energy carrier. An energy carrier is a substance or system that moves energy in a usable form from one place to another. Electricity is generated in power plants, in which a primary energy source is converted into electrical power. Examples of widely used primary energy sources are fossil fuels, falling or flowing water and nuclear fission. An important drawback of generating electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear fission, currently the most common primary energy sources for electricity generation worldwide, is the adverse environmental impact, such as the greenhouse effect caused by the increase of the CO2 concentration in the earth’s atmosphere and the nuclear waste problem. Further, fossil fuel and uranium reserves are finite. An additional disadvantage of using uranium and fossil fuels to generate electricity, particularly for those countries which do not have supplies of these primary energy sources, is the dependence on other countries for supplying a critically important resource.KeywordsWind TurbineWind PowerWind FarmWind GeneratorDoubly Feed Induction GeneratorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
