With the growing demand for energy, there is also an increasing demand for renewable energy among humans. Wind energy is considered to be one of the important sources of renewable energy as it can provide electricity and reduce pollution.

Currently, the adoption of wind power technology has become a key strategic approach to energy transition in many countries. With the continuous upgrading of wind power generation equipment, wind power has become an important component of global new energy generation capacity.

This paper will discuss the application of wind power windmills and their development.

The basic principle of wind power generation is to convert wind energy into mechanical energy and then convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines mainly consist of rotating blades, rotors, foundations, towers, generators, and other components.

One of the most critical parts is the wind turbine itself, which is mainly composed of blades, a wind turbine shaft, a bracket, etc. The size and material of the wind turbine are important factors affecting the efficiency and cost of wind power generation.

Currently, common wind turbines include horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines, with horizontal axis wind turbines being more widely used.

Wind power generation technology has been widely used and promoted, and the global installed wind power capacity is growing rapidly. Currently, the total installed capacity of wind power worldwide has exceeded 700 GW, with China being the world's leading wind power country with a service cluster of over 1,000 GW.

The advantage of wind power lies in its clean, renewable, and low-consumption nature, which can help alleviate energy pressure and promote economic development. In addition, the lower construction costs of wind power compared to other environmentally friendly energy sources and the faster return on capital it offers are among the reasons why it attracts a large number of investors.

Wind power is also an important means of combating climate change and is expected to replace traditional fossil energy sources and contribute to the continuous improvement of the global environment.

Regarding the development of wind turbines, one of the most likely directions for the future is the improvement of design and manufacturing. Wind turbines will adopt more advanced designs, and there will be continuous improvements in the quality and durability of materials to enhance the efficiency and profile of wind energy conversion and extend its lifetime.

The number of wind farms will also continue to increase, and with the reassessment of geographic locations and the development of radar systems, wind farms can be built in more areas.

On a technical level, new technologies such as artificial intelligence may be more widely applied to wind power to improve the operational efficiency of turbines and optimize wind farm distribution capacity.

Despite the promising development, there are still some problems associated with wind power generation. One of the biggest challenges is noise pollution and visual pollution. Optimal locations for wind turbines must be identified to prevent excessive noise and visual impacts on local communities.

Additionally, there are safety issues associated with wind turbines, such as broken steel cables and damaged rotating structures, which require continuous improvement. Moreover, wind power generation is also subject to uncertainties influenced by external factors, such as insufficient or excessive wind speeds and other climate changes that significantly impact wind power generation.

Since wind power generation relies heavily on weather conditions, its reliability and continuity are important concerns. To address this, most power plants use multi-directional rotating blades to accommodate winds from different directions and strengths.

Furthermore, new technologies are being developed, such as wind energy storage systems, which utilize devices like batteries to convert wind energy into electricity for storage and later use.

International cooperation and policies are crucial for the development of wind power. Many governments are currently promoting the development of renewable energy sources and providing important support for wind power.

Another challenge that the wind power industry needs to face is competition with traditional fossil fuels. Conventional fuels still dominate and are less expensive.

However, due to environmental and climate change pressures, many countries are actively promoting a shift from traditional fuels to renewable energy sources. This offers great prospects and opportunities for the development of wind power, which is expected to grow faster in the coming years.
