Top Five Wind Turbine Manufacturers Contributing Towards Sustainable Development

Nov 13, 2017

World leaders and power corporations have been prioritizing clean and renewable energy in order to promote sustainability and fulfill the ever-increasing power demand across the world. Many alternatives exist in the form of solar energy, hydropower, nuclear energy, and natural gas. But, amongst all the available alternatives, wind energy is considered to be the most efficient, almost double in terms of energy efficiency (Levelized Cost of Electricity LOCE), compared to the second most efficient energy source, geothermal energy. To convert wind into energy, large wind turbines are installed which can generate 50-750 kW of electricity. A lot of wind turbine manufacturers are investing in research and development to develop the efficiency of this energy source.
