Abstract

Wind energy is one of the main sources of renewable energy that does not contaminate and contributes significantly to the reduction of burning fossil fuels that originate global warming by creating greenhouse gasses; therefore, a significant part the electric energy produced presently is of wind origin, and this share is expected to become more important in the next years [...]
