Abstract
At present, wind energy is one of the most promising alternatives for diversifying electricity generation towards the sustainable development worldwide. Wind power technology is one of the most mature renewable energy technologies. In fact, over the last 20 years, almost all of the industrialised countries progressed towards the implementation of wind energy, looking to attain significant levels of contribution for satisfying the electrical demand at the national level. An increasing number of developing countries are already following the example.
