Abstract

Objective: The study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of wind and solar energy technologies, focusing on their efficiency, costs, and environmental impacts across specific geographic regions.

Methodology: We will examine case studies from diverse climates and terrains to evaluate the performance of each technology under varying conditions. Key metrics such as energy output, installation and maintenance costs, and land use will be analyzed.

Results:The analysis will reveal the economic viability of wind and solar energy in different settings and provide insights into their environmental implications, including effects on local ecosystems and carbon footprint reductions.

Conclusion: The findings will serve as a resource for policymakers and stakeholders in the energy sector, facilitating informed decisions regarding the optimal integration of wind and solar energy into regional energy portfolios, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable energy future.

Key words: Climate changes, Wind energy, Solar energy, Fuzzy modeling.
