This chapter reviews the potential of wind as a sustainable power source. In particular, large-scale offshore wind farms have emerged as critical renewable energy technology to reduce GHG emission and autonomy in energy production. Therefore many power networks operating with a significant penetration of renewable power generation have deployed OCGTs to effectively manage. . This study investigates the potential of utilizing exhaust air from ducts in industrial or ventilation systems as a resource for wind turbine energy generation. Can ducted turbines extract kinetic energy from man-made wind. . Power Generation from Exhaust Gas: Power generation from exhaust gas is an increasingly important method for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in various industries. By utilizing a small windmill, the wind force generated by the exhaust fan can be converted into usable energy.
