Abstract

It is generally known that the current system of energy generation based on limited resource fossil fuels (Coal, Gas and Petroleum) is not sustainable. Because the resources are finite, they are discovered and utilized. That is why most of the countries around the world have realized the current scenario of energy using dirty source is generating environmental worries such as greenhouse gases (GHG, acid rain etc. furthermore, increase in population and urbanization has raised the energy demand and consumption, but unfortunately, the fossil fuels are not evenly distributed around the world. The listed problems has necessitated searching of an alternative sources, that will be used today and tomorrow without compromising the future needs of energy. Among the clean sources (solar, hydro, fuel cell, wave tidal, geothermal, thermo electric generator), wind energy has emerged as the oldest technology applied by mankind to solve remote and immediate problems. In recent times, wind energy is become popular for electrical power generation in both grid-tie and non-grid mode. Wind energy is an indirect solar energy, the merits of using this resources is the wind availability in day and night. The potential of its development is huge, since the world's capacity is far larger than the world's total energy consumption [1]. Recent publication of wind energy association has shown that the wind energy is currently at boom stage, as more countries of the world developing medium and large wind energy farms. As a new global high-tech sector, more countries are taking advantage of this untapped source of renewable energy. Malaysia is trying to develop a reliable energy mix that will boost it economic, and urbanization
