Abstract
The modern wind turbines are widely used as important natural energy sources for the electric generation in western countries and some Asian nations. They are commercially matured and progressive and clear policy for the more development with higher technical purposes is maintained throughout the world. Modern wind turbines produce nearly 2000 kW output in their largest sizes and this trend increases up to more powerful power and ultimate utilization of wind energy favoured by clean natural energy. This article has the points of reviewing the states of the art of modern wind turbines with their present technical directions toward next generation version. Some descriptionsare given for easy understanding of the turbine components and related fluid mechanics concerned. The general outlines of policy taken over some countries are also introduced.
