Development of Wind Energy Technology with Nanomaterials

Wind energy has great potential as a clean electrical energy resource with a lot of interests that grow rapidly worldwide. The term wind energy describes the process by which the wind is used to generate electricity. This is achieved by the conversion of the kinetic energy of the wind into electric power using turbines. The development of these turbines will lead to the decrease of the cost of the technology, improving the efficiency and increasing the demand for such green ways of producing technologies.                                      Image Retrieved From:  http://www.hydro.com.au/energy/about-wind-power The development of the wind technology by considering the unique properties of the nanomaterials results in increasing the potential of the technology. Polymer nanocomposites, conductive nanomaterials, high strength nanomaterials, and nanostructured surfaces are examples of ...
