A wind turbine converts wind energy into electricity by utilizing the aerodynamic force of the rotor blades. The blades of the wind turbines are developed by using the aerofoil structure, which is also frequently utilized in the construction of airplane wings. There are many distinct varieties of wind turbines, and each one generates electrical energy using a unique idea. Lift and drag are the two significant aerodynamic forces utilized by wind turbines. The wind turbines which use drag forces contain a vertical rotor and are based on the concept of air resistance. The lift propelled wind turbines contain blades which are positioned perpendicular to the wind direction. The maximum speed of air resistance wind turbines cannot be greater than the speed of wind but lift propelled wind turbines can rotate faster than the speed of the wind. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to wind turbines and their aerodynamics. It is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
