Abstract
The production of electricity from wind energy is noticed as economic power generation system in the natural resource. Lately, since lots of wind turbine have installed globally, the accidents have increased gradually. In this paper, we classified domestic information for 10 years, information of new energy and industrial technology development organization(NEDO) for 4years and caithness windfarms information forum(CWIF) for 15 years according to part and cause of wind turbine accident. We found that the main causes of accidents are storm, lightening and carelessness. The results of classifying and analyzing the informations, should be used to take measures on the accident prevention of wind turbine.
