The wind is one of the cleanest sources of power generation. Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. The energy present in the wind turns the blades around a rotor, which is connected to the main shaft that spins a generator to create electricity.A wind tower is the support structure for a wind turbine and its other components. It helps the wind turbine blades to safely clear the ground and elevate the turbine to an optimum height to generate electrical energy from the wind. As speed increases with altitude, it is better to install tall wind towers to produce maximum output.Conventional power generation is gradually losing its importance owing to growing environmental awareness. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar have gained popularity worldwide. The wind energy market has experienced robust growth over the last decade, recording a CAGR of 12.81%. It has taken center stage among all the renewable technologies. The cumulative wind power capacity installed was 432.9 GW in 2015, which is expected to reach 791.0 GW by 2020.
