The fundamental principles governing wind energy conversion, including the power equation and the Betz limit, are explained to establish a theoretical foundation. The chapter further delineates the key components of modern horizontal- and vertical-axis wind turbines, such as rotor blades,...

In many developing countries, heavy reliance on centralized, non-renewable energy sources poses threats to both energy security and the environment. However, there is still a lack of structured evidence on which factors should be prioritized to accelerate the adoption of decentralized renewable...
