In the late 19th century, a Danish meteorologist named Poul La Cour significantly advanced wind-generated power by creating a more reliable and stable source of energy. La Cour successfully provided power for the village of Askov and established the Society of Wind Electricians. By 1908, his efforts led to the operation of 72 systems in Denmark, each with a capacity ranging from 5 to 25 kilowatts, marking a significant milestone in early wind power technology.
