Abstract [English]

To meet the world's future energy needs and address climate change, it is essential to investigate sustainable alternatives to conventional power sources, with wind power showing promise. Concerns over the negative climatic impacts of huge wind farms have sparked a growing focus on decentralized small- scale wind turbine setups. The study examines different types of tiny wind turbines, with a specific focus on horizontal and vertical axis designs. It discusses performance, blade design, control mechanisms, and manufacturing methods. It assesses the obstacles and prospects of incorporating wind turbines into urban landscapes, emphasizing urban areas' potential for sustainable electricity generation. This review emphasizes important variables for effective wind turbine deployment in urban areas, based on empirical facts and case studies. Policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders in renewable energy initiatives can effectively harness wind energy in urban landscapes by addressing challenges and leveraging key insights. This will helpful guide for future green energy development in urban settings.
