Abstract
The excessive emission of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide has caused various global climatic changes. In order to mitigate the effects of global warming, caused by the excessive emission of the fossil fuels, the renewable energy sources should be installed globally. In the current study, the renewable energy sources are discussed with an increased emphasis on wind energy. Importance of electrical energy for human being is first discussed, followed by brief description of the conventional ways of producing electricity from different types of fuels. Effects of the greenhouse gases on the earth’s environment is also discussed. Harvesting of wind energy is reviewed in detail. Different types of wind turbines, their advantages and disadvantages are also presented. Latest research related to the wind energy is presented with a focus on horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbines. The renewable energy storage strategies are discussed and finally the role of renewable energy in mitigating the effects of global warming is also discussed.KeywordsRenewable energy sourcesWind energyGreenhouse gases emission
