Introduction
The electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 253.389 GW as of August 2014
India became the world's third largest producer of electricity in the year 2013 with
4.8% global share in electricity generation surpassing Japan and Russia. Power
development in India was first started in 1897 in Darjeeling, followed by commissioning
of a hydropower station at Sivasamudram in Karnataka during 1902.

Approximately 10 million MW of wind energy is
continuously available to India. India's Power
Finance Corporation Limited projects that current
and approved electricity capacity addition projects in
India are expected to add about 100 GW of installed
capacity between 2012 and 2017.

HISTORY
◆ To fill the needs of the energy of this population, India have to look towards non
conventional energy resource which can fill a huge demand of energy generated by the
population of India.
◆ India is fulfilling its 85% of energy demand from the conventional recourses such as
coal, nuclear energy, natural gas and petroleum which generate many greenhouse gases.
Green houses gases- carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) etc.
are produced in the energy generation process are not only harmful for people’s health but
it also deteriorates the environment vis-à-vis global warming and hole in the ozone layer.

SOURCES OF WIND ENERGY
◆ India has a vast coastal line which is a good resource of the fresh wind.
Beside these there are other ways to generate the wind which need to get
attention now. Highway wind turbine is the option for production of energy
in India.
8
OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES
◆ This is a very effective method of generation of wind energy. Offshore wind

turbines are constructed near the water-bodies. Energy which is generated
by offshore wind is more as compared to on land.
◆ Almost 1,662 turbines are situated at 55 offshore locations across 10

European countries for generating electricity and that energy is enough for
almost 500000 households. Generation of wind energy by offshore wind
turbines are not much used in India because of the Indian economy.

Types of Wind Energy
 Land-Based Wind Energy:-

Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even
combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale (megawatt-sized) sources of wind energy, a large
number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind plant, also referred to as a wind farm. Several
electricity providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers.
 Distributed Wind Energy:-

Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources. Distributed energy resources refer to a variety
of small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined to improve the operation of the electricity
delivery system.
 Offshore Wind Energy:-

Offshore wind energy is a relatively new industry in the United States. America's first offshore wind farm, located in
Rhode Island, off the coast of Block Island, powered up in December 2016.

Data
According to IRENA's latest data, the production of

wind electricity in 2016 accounted for a 6% of the
electricity generated by renewables. Many parts of
the world have strong wind speeds, but the best
locations for generating wind power are sometimes
remote ones. Offshore wind power offers tremendous
potential.
11
CHALLENGES
• Lack of information on foreign markets.
• Lack of knowledge of the energy-sector framework conditions and support

mechanisms.
• Insufficient wind energy legal framework (technical and economical

conditions for feeding wind-generated electricity into power grids, permit
procedure, ...).
• Lack of qualified staff, especially in the field of service/maintenance.

Technicians and buyers are often unfamiliar with wind technology, and in
remote locations instalments often break down because of a lack of
servicing, spare parts, or trained manpower to administer them. In reality,
wind pumps are less maintenance intensive than diesel pumps.
12
Advantages
1. Wind is a type of clean energy.
2. Wind is a renewable energy source.
3. Wind power has a low operating cost.
4. Wind turbines save space.
5. Wind power generation promotes domestic economic growth
13
Disadvantages
1. Wind turbines can be dangerous to some wildlife.
2. Wind turbines can be noisy.
3. Wind power is limited by location.
14
CONCLUSION
 The energy balance of wind energy is very positive. The energy

consumed in the whole chain of wind plants is recovered in several
average operational months.

 The comparison of wind energy with conventional technologies
highlights the environmental advantages of wind energy.

 Quite significant emissions reductions can be obtained by producing
electricity in wind farms instead of using conventional technologies
such as coal and natural gas combined cycle power plants.
