Wind Power energy is a pollution-free source of energy. Wind power systems don't produce any toxic or radioactive waste. Wind power turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power or electricity.
Thousands of years back, ancient Persians used wind energy systems for pumping water. America was discovered by wind driven ships. Today, because of the fuel energy crisis and the necessity of using energy, wind power needs to develop fast.

Wind speeds increase the power output of wind turbines. For this reason, a wind turbine is more cost effective in the windiest areas.

The cost of wind power consists of:
• The initial installation cost of the wind equipment
• The interest rate invested money,
The cost is soon recouped in savings on energy bills.

Wind turbine is more cost effective in remote zones. The cost of electricity generated by diesel is %0.25 ~ $1.0 per kilowatt hour (KW/Hr), while wind electricity is $0.05 ~ $0.01 KW/Hr. This comparison is without considering the environmental impact and huge difference between using clean energy and fuel energy.

Some of wind power’s benefits are:
• Wind power is renewable, reliable and clean energy
• Wind power creates employment
• Wind power is more economical than fuel energy
• Wind power helps to develop rural economies
• Wind power attracts tourism to local business
