Wind Energy
Wind is air in motion which blows everywhere. It’s free, without any private ownership. Wind energy was an attractive source of energy for several years. The power of the wind was used for sailing since many years ago. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Vikings used different kind of sails on their ships to harness this energy.
Worldwide winds contain around 2700TW power, but about one forth of these powers is available in 100 meter above the ground. With available technology of installing and developing wind power plant, we can catch around 40 TW of this power.
Among renewable energy sources, wind energy becomes the most important and fastest growing sources all around the world. Different organizations and communities and national associations, strongly supports developing wind power projects. Recently, governmental decisions and policies regarding developing wind farms, helps this industry to ramp up quickly in the world.

Iran is pioneer country in the field of developing wind energy in Middle East with 109.4 MW installed capacity till 2012. Reduction of economical dependency on Oil and Gas by the latest governmental decisions helps Iran to change its developing way to the sustainable way. Wind Power as a part of sustainable development plan has a special concern in Iran. “Mandjil” wind farm is a conspicuous example of wind power development. This farm produces around 1.8 million kWh annually.
