“…Wind energy is one of the most promising and viable RESs. It is a clean, sustainable, and abundant source of energy that can be harnessed to generate electricity [109]. It has been employed in various machines since ancient times, but it did not become a practical source of energy until the late 20th century [110].…”

Renewable energy (RE) is a field in which an increasing number of academic studies are being conducted on multiple dimensions, including technical, economic, political, and social. Wide and varied disciplines conduct research on the processes of making an investment decision in renewable energy, developing, and adopting policies for this purpose, selecting RE suitable for the location, establishing it by taking economic and environmental factors into account, developing energy distribution and storage systems, and supporting regional development. To accurately calculate the installation costs, which are viewed as one of the barriers to a greater use of renewable energy, the co-benefits of RE must be analyzed and transferred to this calculation, and thus to the decision-making processes. Understanding these co-benefits will also facilitate consumer adoption of sustainable energy sources. In addition to economic growth, financial development, employment growth, and regional development, it is crucial to understand the public health benefits of renewable energy. Through bibliometric analysis, which permits the quantification and visualization of qualitative data, the status and development of the literature on the health benefits of RE are examined in this study. The study determined the most researched topics, current issues and trends, and prominent issues in academic studies. The transition to environmentally friendly energies can be accelerated by increasing public awareness of health co-benefits from a more holistic perspective.

“…3 Various worldwide climate shifts have been brought on by the excessive release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. 4 According to the perspective of world energy technology, greenhouse gas emissions from different energy sectors will be significantly increased in the next few decades without the development and implementation of alternative energy sources. The analysis shows that approximately 1200 grams of CO 2 is emitted by coal fires for every kWh of electricity generation.…”

In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight major developments of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in the last few decades. The effects of various design parameters such as airfoil, number of blades, solidity, aspect ratio, blade helicity, and overlap ratio have been critically analyzed. Wind energy is the most promising renewable, cost-effective, efficient, and accessible source for both domestic and commercial applications. Horizontal axis wind turbines are highly developed and are being used for medium-to-large scale power projects. VAWT are considered viable options for urban and semi-urban areas. These turbines have several characteristics, such as omnidirectional, power generation in weak and unstable winds, esthetically sound, safety, and low noise. Darrieus turbines with a fixed blade-type have starting problems at low wind speeds. Savonius turbines have good starting capability; however, their power coefficients are lower than other types of VAWT. To overcome the shortcomings of conventional wind turbines, an innovative engineering solution was sought in the design of hybrid VAWT. The analysis revealed that hybrid wind turbines have addressed the deficiencies to an extent; however, the overall performance is still less than that of conventional wind turbines. Several recommendations have been made based on state-of-the-art information from the perspective of future studies and acceptability. It was concluded that vast opportunities for wind turbine applications are available in urban areas; however, further academic research is required on critical aspects such as self-starting at low wind speeds, efficiency, structural reliability, design improvement for aerodynamic performance, and wind resource assessment.
