The present status of wind energy among USA, UK, Portugal and Australia

Renewable Energy

The present status of wind energy among USA, UK, Portugal and Australia has been studied in this research work. It has found that different wind farms, different State/province, Coordinates and Current capacity (MW) among four countries. The secondary data has been collected and tabulated from different sources among the 4 countries. It is shown that installed capacity in USA is the best among the 4 countries. Finally, from our study it can be concluded that the wind energy is Clean & Environment friendly fuel source. It doesn't pollute air like power plant relying on combustion of fossil fuel. It is Renewable & Sustainable. Winds are caused by heating of atmosphere by the sun, earth surface irregularities and the rotation of the earth. It is Cost Effective. Wind energy is completely free. It is also found that 7,054 onshore wind turbines in operation across the UK plus a further 1,832 located offshore. It is also found that As of January 2019, the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) contains more than 58,000 turbines. In this study it is also shown the comparison of wind energy production among the above mentioned 4 countries.
