Wind is still considered an area of growth by the government of India; however the situation on the ground is a different story.
The Indian renewable energy sector has registered a growth of 106 per cent in the Eleventh Five Year Plan period ending March 31, 2012.
Energy guzzling modern resorts can take a leaf out of this initiative to promote environmentally friendly tourism.
The study assess the techno-economic on-shore wind potential in India at three hub-heights – 80m, 100m, and 120m. Assuming a turbine density of 9 MW/km2, the total wind potential in India with a minimum
With wind-power generation in the state picking up in the last 3-4 days, parts of Chennai, including Kolathur, Villivakkam and OMR, were spared load-shedding Sunday. The districts have been reeling from over 10 hours of daily power cut, while Chennai and suburbs face a two-hour load-shedding. About 2.24 million units of wind power was generated on April 27 and 11.78 MU the next day. On Saturday, high-velocity winds made sure the generation shot up to 21.6 MU.
Large wind farms slightly increase temperatures near the ground as the turbines' rotor blades pull down warm air, according to researchers who analyzed nine years of satellite readings around four of the
New Delhi International Finance Corporation is likely to provide $130 million (about R682 crore) funding to Inox Renewables for developing wind farms in Gujarat and Rajasthan. IFC, part of the World Bank group, focuses on lending to entities in the developing world. “The total project cost is estimated at $480 million for up to 400 MW of wind farms proposed to be implemented by March 2013.
The promotion of sustainable alternate energy sources, fuels other than oil and energy-efficient equipment are among strategies initiated in the country to achieve energy security, P. Sivakumar, Director, Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), said on Thursday. Speaking at the 21 convocation day at Sathyabama University, the scientist said only 1 per cent of the country's total power requirement was met by renewable sources, unlike in the case of Denmark and Germany where 25 per cent and 16 per cent respectively of energy requirements were met by wind energy.
Though wind energy generation is good in the State in the evening hours, it is yet to pick up during the rest of the day. With nearly 1,000 MW installed during the last 12 months, the State now has nearly 6,900 MW installed capacity of wind energy. The evening generation (6.55 p.m.) was 273 MW on April 25, on April 18 it was 737 MW and on April 22 it was 420 MW. The morning (7.50 a.m.) generation on April 26 was nil, 165 MW on April 19, and 237 MW on April 23.
The Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has sent a letter to Fauji Fertiliser Company Energy Limited (FFCEL) to stop any activity at its windmill project that may lead to contamination of source
