Introduction
The utilization of renewable energy sources has become increasingly important in recent years, as the world looks for sustainable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. Wind energy is one of the most promising sources of renewable energy, with its abundance and availability making it a key player in the transition towards a greener future. Wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are used to harness the power of the wind and convert it into electricity for various applications.
This thesis focuses on the optimization of wind energy conversion systems, with the aim of improving their efficiency and performance. By optimizing the design and operation of WECS, we can maximize the energy output while minimizing costs and environmental impact. This research is crucial in ensuring the widespread adoption of wind energy as a viable and sustainable energy source.
