A REVIEW OF WIND ENERGY INTEGRATION IN MASDAR CITY’S SMART URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Abstract [English]

This research investigates the incorporation of wind energy into the sustainable urban framework of Masdar City, demonstrating the significant role that wind energy plays in the development of an urban ecosystem that is efficient in terms of energy consumption. As a pioneering example of environmentally responsible urban construction, Masdar City integrates a wide range of renewable energy sources, with wind energy making a substantial contribution to the city's efforts to achieve its sustainability goals. In this study, the technical and operational elements of Masdar City's wind systems are investigated. The evaluation addresses both the successes that were achieved and the difficulties that were faced throughout the implementation process. The usage of wind energy, which is a significant component of the city's plan for renewable energy, is a clear indication of the city's dedication to lowering carbon emissions and decreasing its dependency on fossil fuels.
In addition to this, the report highlights the creative design and planning strategies that enable Masdar City to incorporate wind energy into its urban form in a seamless manner. Insights gained from Masdar's expertise provide significant recommendations for metropolitan regions all over the world, particularly for growing smart cities that are eager to implement solutions that utilize renewable energy sources. In particular, these lessons are applicable to GIFT City, which is located in Gandhinagar, India, and is working toward a more sustainable urban infrastructure in the future. It is possible for GIFT City to take the lead in sustainable development in India by adopting the strategy that Masdar City has taken. This would involve employing wind energy to improve energy security and environmental resilience. The findings of this study highlight the potential of wind energy to contribute to the advancement of urban sustainability. It also provides a model for the integration of alternative energy systems in analogous metropolitan situations, particularly in India.
