Abstract :
Wind generation is the fastest growing power source over the past decade, and this growth is forecasted to continue. The latest wind turbines have robust designs for reliable performance. In this article, concepts and illustrations for a cement plant that benefit from the incorporation of wind generation have been shown. The wind plant can be a part of a system designed to provide reliable, economic, and clean power.
