Wind power, Technology Life Cycle, Forecasting, PatentAbstract
Utilization of renewable energy technologies is one of the strate-
gies of the governments in order to increase the level of energy security.
One of the main renewable energy resources with fast utilization growth
is wind power. However, development of wind power is highly de-
pended on its related technologºies. Therefore, wind power technology
forecasting is an indispensable requirement to understand how each of
the wind energy domains will improve in the future. This research is to
focus on the analysis of wind power technologies based on the technol-
ogy life cycle approach. The contributions can help researchers, technol-
ogy futurists, and policy makers to focus better on the related R&D and
utilization policies.
