Abstract
Energy is an essential ingredient of socio-economic development and economic growth. Renewable
energy sources like wind energy is indigenous and can help in reducing the dependency on fossil fuels.
Wind is the indirect form of solar energy and is always being replenished by the sun. Winds are
caused by differential heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. It has been estimated that roughly 10
million MWs of energy are continuously available in the earth’s wind. Wind energy provides a
variable and environmental friendly option and national energy security at a time when decreasing
global reserves of fossil fuels threatens the long-term sustainability of global economy. This paper
reviews the wind resources assessment models, site selection models and aerodynamic models
including wake effect. The different existing performance and reliability evaluation models, various
problems related to wind turbine components (blade, gearbox, generator and transformer) and grid
for wind energy system have been discussed. This paper also reviews different techniques and loads
for design, control systems and economics of wind energy conversion system.
