Assessment on the Operational Management Issues on the Wind Energy Technologies on National Energy Security

Abstract

The occurrence of wind is a consequence of the uneven heating and cooling of different areas throughout the Earth's diverse topography. To attain a state of balance, comparable to the phenomenon of mixing hot and cold water in a bathtub, the Earth's atmospheric air undergoes global circulation, encountering changes in speed as it moves through valleys and accelerates across rivers. This occurrence produces wind, as would be expected. Wind turbines, akin to windmills, use the kinetic energy of the wind via the utilisation of rotor blades that have resemblance to propellers. The blades of these devices may be aligned in either a horizontal axis, like a fan, or a vertical axis, resembling a merry-go-round. Energy security involves several facets, mostly centred on the assurance of long-term availability of energy supplies. This is achieved by timely investments that are aligned with economic improvements and environmental considerations. The importance of wind energy technology has grown in the pursuit of maintaining national energy independence. The research aims to identify and evaluate the Operational Management Issues on the Wind Energy Technologies on National Energy Security. The present dissertation adopts a Positivist research philosophy and applies a quantitative approach to examine the key aspects related to wind energy technologies and their influence on national energy security. Multiple criteria are discovered, and questionnaires are developed to collect data. The survey was conducted using the 'Qualtrics' platform, with a sample size of 96 participants. The collected data was then analysed using Factor Analysis. The primary objective of this research is to provide valuable insights on the effectiveness of wind energy technologies within the framework of national energy security. from the factor analysis the author gathered three components and developed a model for the effective utilization of wind energy technologies for improving the national energy security.
