Abstract

In accordance of the increasing environmental awareness of various associations and bodies, and the rising voices calling for the need to reduce the consumption of natural and primary resources in line with environmental requirements and ensure the achievement of the principles of sustainable development, and in light of the endeavor to amend production plans and processes and reduce gas emissions, the need to search for other sources of clean energy instead of using fossil fuels.         Wind energy comes as one of the most prominent and efficient renewable energies capable of generating electricity, although it is flawed by the large size and height of its turbines, and the need for large areas of land far away from cities and population centers to construct their generation stations other than not being able to set it up except in the areas that witness the activity of the wind movement, which could be considered as the research problem. While the research aims to take a glance at one of the modern design innovations, and to study the feasibility of using it in gardens, squares, places, and public parks in cities and residential communities, where it is possible to generate electric power using the minimum amount of breezes and air flows.          The research concludes that Wind trees are characterized by being less susceptible and affected by weather fluctuations, because of the small amount of wind energy needed to start generating electricity compared to other traditional wind turbines that need high wind speeds to start working. The research also concludes that traditional wind turbine blades could be considered as a life threat for many birds, bats and wild creatures, if compared to wind trees, which are safer and more environmentally friendly and wildlife. Wind trees are preferably used in a large extent, especially in the areas that do not witness a great activity of wind movement and populated areas as it is possible to generate an amount of energy that is enough for an electric car to cover approx. 16,000 km throughout the year which is equivalent to burning approximately 160 gallons of fossil fuels, while traditional wind turbines are preferable used in remote places and desert, isolated and uninhabited areas.        The research recommends the need for a kind of integration in the use of both traditional wind turbines and wind trees to ensure optimal utilization of any wind movement activity at different speeds and degree of regularity. The research also recommends seeking to activate the concept of wind trees, and the importance of their presence in fields, parks, public places and population gatherings because of their impact on improving energy efficiency, in order to secure the current and future generation's energy needs.
