Energy and Exergy for Sustainable and Clean Environment, Volume 2

Abstract

Wind energy an unimpeded and simply accessible renewable source. It is a more abundant source regardless of the time factor. Further, the capability of wind in producing energy as a green source makes it a favorite for renewable power generation. Wind energy can be exploited for producing power in a fresh environment. The number of unconventional power generation resources is steadily increasing. In this review, we looked at the efficiency of wind turbines in comparison with solar energy, as well as the possibility of combining the two as a hybrid power source. The literature expressed that the power production using renewable sources are being seasonally successful. So, we analyzed the performance of hybrid renewable power generation as a source for future development.
