Wind energy is a major clean energy resource which has been demonstrated to be able to produce both small-scale and large-scale energy [8, 11 – 13].

The international wind energy association (WWEA) estimates that by June 2022, the total installed capacity of wind turbines will be 874 GW. Wind power fulfills ~6% of world electricity demand (WWEA 2022). Wind turbines extract wind energy, which extracts mechanical energy from the kinetic energy of flowing air and is converted into electric power.
