One of the world's principal sources of renewable energy, wind energy, is a resource to which growing numbers of countries are turning to in their search for replacements for fossil fuel and other dwindling alternatives. The utilization of wind energy has been one of the fastest growing energy technology in the world for the past decades.
Big advantage of wind energy is the relatively low environmental impacts it has and the fact that wind energy projects are almost reversible. Synergy between wind and other renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, is also of considerable interest due to the very different characteristics of each source.
