INTRODUCTIONA power generation plant can be considered as a station that is situated at some industriallocation which helps in maintaining the generation of electric power first, and then its properdistribution. The electric power is usually sent at the rate of 1000 Watt (Wu and et.al, 2011). Thepower generation plants are usually located in the sub urban regions or several miles orkilometres away from the city or crowded areas. These are planned to set up so far because of therequirements of a huge demand of water and land. The actual reason behind these powergeneration plants is not only the maintenance of generation but along with that, the fact that thesufficient amount of power is being transmitted. There is a huge amount of renewable resources available such as wind, heat etc., throughwhich electricity and power can be generated by various means. The power generation plants canbe classified in various types such as hydro electric, solar, wind, marine etc. A hydroelectricpower plants generates electricity means of water, which means it converts the hydro power inhydro electricity (Heier, 2014). In solar power plants, the mechanism of transmission of solarenergy into electric power is being achieved. In case of wind, it is being done with the help ofwind turbines which convert the wind energy into electricity without causing any pollution. Allthese power plants have their own advantages but along with them, there are various challengesand issues related it with as well. The research is about the involvement of wind energy and itusually involves the energy that is available from the wind turbines. Therefore, it will involve thescope and applications of the wind turbines, issues that have been caused by using them and itsimpact on the environment. Scope and RangeThere are various components of a wind turbine which are essential for the physicalprocesses to be done. These involve rotor and rotor blades, nacelle and tower and foundation.The rotor is considered as an essential component of the turbines which is having some sort ofsupport from the blades. It is responsible for the conversion of kinetic energy in wind energy.The blades of rotor are made up of carbon and glass fibre reinforced plastics. Then, anotheressential component is the nacelle which helps in holding the centre of the turbine. There arevarious components inserted in it such as the gear box, coupling, brakes and the electronicequipments as well. It is being connected by the help of bearing so that it rotates in that directiononly in which the wind is flowing. For maintaining the stability of the turbine on the ground, a1
