Abstract: The increasing demand for renewable energy sources has driven significant advancements in wind turbine technology. However, the high costs associated with wind turbine components remain a critical challenge. This study explores various strategies for optimizing the cost of wind turbine components. Key areas of focus include material selection, manufacturing processes, and supply chain management. By leveraging advanced materials and innovative manufacturing techniques, such as additive manufacturing and automation, significant cost reductions can be achieved. Additionally, optimizing the supply chain through strategic sourcing and inventory management can further enhance cost efficiency. The integration of predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring systems also plays a crucial role in minimizing downtime and extending the lifespan of wind energy more economically viable but also contributes to the broader goal of sustainable energy development. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for manufacturers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the renewable energy sector, paving the way for more cost-effective and sustainable wind energy solutions.
