The increase in the price of traditional energy sources and the high dependence of many countries on their import have led to large investments in the use of wind energy. This favors the improvement of wind turbine manufacturing technology and design, which are described in this paper. Based on the available literature, it was determined that wind turbine development in the coming decade will be based on increased wind turbine size and minor design improvements. These improvements include further improvements in the aerodynamics of the blades, the use of composites with carbon fibers and fabrics that will achieve better efficiency in power generation. Manufacturers are working to make the blades from segments, which would reduce the problems associated with transporting long blades. Direct drive technology has been developed to avoid gearbox failures and reduce transmission losses. Concrete columns are increasingly being built due to the ever-increasing price of steel. The trend for offshore wind farms is to increase the size and power of wind turbines and place them far from shore and in deeper parts of the sea, which requires the construction of innovative forms of floating foundations. From an environmental point of view, turbines are becoming quieter, aided by the use of direct transmission. New methods for disposing of discarded rotor blades are also being developed to protect the environment.
