The societal demands for electrical energy have drastically increased in the past number of years. The sharp escalation of fuel consumption caused the demand for fossil fuels, which generate electrical energy, to increase as well. Almost 80% of domestic electricity use is used for space and water heating. To reduce the amount of energy produced by fossil fuels, the amount of electricity used must be lessened, and other renewable methods of electrical energy generation must be found. Research in the field of electrical energy generation in the past years has revealed several viable sources for potentially generating electricity in the near future, which include wind turbines, solar cells and fuel cells, all of which are forms of renewable sources of energy.
Wind power is a renewable resource that offers clean and affordable energy, but can be unreliable. All renewable sources of energy ultimately come from the sun, which radiates approximately 1.37 kW/m on the surface of......
