How Developments in Electrical System Design Are Helping to Tackle the Challenges of Wind

A growing realisation of the need to diversify their energy bases is leading countries worldwide to consider new forms of power generation. A combination of environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors—not to mention a growing awareness of the importance of sustainability amongst the younger generation—is seeing a steady shift toward renewable sources as a means of providing the power needed for everyday life.
