History of Wind Power Generation:
Wind power has been in use for serving mankind for centuries through what has been popularly known as “Windmills.” There is no “electrical” stage of energy in old-style uses where wind velocity is directly used for performing jobs such as wheat grinding, pumping water for irrigation, and sailing vessels etc. It enjoys the advantages of being plentiful, inexhaustible, renewable, and non-polluting, over and above being cheap for running costs.
