Applying Systems Thinking to Analyze Wind Energy Sustainability

摘要

Wind energy, along with other renewable energy sources, has become an alternative to traditional energy sources to meet the growing energy demand. Wind energy is considered to be one of the cleanest sources of energy. Wind energy sustainability focuses on a balance between economic, social and environmental objectives. However, wind energy faces various challenges associated to sustainability. This paper presents a way to analyze wind energy sustainability using a systems thinking approach.
