Abstract
Wind power is among the established renewable energy technologies and has the potential to tackle many of the current technological and societal challenges. Some of them include sustainable energy source and reduction of air pollution, which is linked to health issues. There are many variants of application of wind power to meet the energy demand. Examples include onshore wind, offshore wind, and wind with battery storage for grid optimization, and one of the future upcoming and promising technology is combining wind with hydrogen production. Wind power has the potential to transform the fossil fuel energy landscape to a more sustainable energy future together with combating climate change. The aim of the chapter is to provide the background of wind and the new technologies and techniques. When possible, references for further reading are provided.
