B Ravichandran | Udhagamandalam BEARHATTY village panchayat near here is eying for the establishment of wind power project in tune with eco-conservation and a move towards generating energy through non-conventional energy sources. Disclosing this to Express, panchayat president, Rajeshwari Devadas, said that the time has come for the village panchayats in the country to wake up to the dangers posed by eco-degradation and depletion of energy resources. She said that Kambisoali area in the panchayat is evaluated to be very conducive for harnessing wind energy.
Anantapur, June 30: The Non Conventional Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NEDCAP) is promoting production of wind energy to supplement state and central governments' efforts to boost power production. It is making efforts to realise full potential in the Rayalaseema districts of Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool and Anantapur. Presently, 200 mw are being produced by 24 developers in the region. However, potential exists for producing around 10,000 mw by tapping wind potential identified at several places in the Rayalaseema districts.
The international momentum of renewables is leading to new proprietary structures. Will future wind and solar parks be predominantly owned by utilities or can independent power producers hold their ground? Financially strong players and experienced project developers are well positioned.
Last year, India imported 121.67 million tonnes (MT) of crude
The US government must do more to make radar systems and wind farms compatible, according to a group of independent scientific consultants.
In its continued effort to produce " green energy' non dependent on fossilised imported oil, Hayleys Group is currently building a wind power farm on the Western coast of Sri Lanka, the company has announced. The company's energy sector chief Mervyn de Silva said, a 10 MW wind power plant is being built at Nirmalapura at Kalpitiya in the Puttalam district to augment Hayleys' already existing green energy power generating plants like the hydropower stations.
Scientists are increasingly concerned about the number of birds killed by running into power lines and wind turbines, said Al Manville, a senior wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but there are reports of success in preventing such incidents
IF you want to have round-the-clock electricity, then you may install domestic wind turbines in your household. Coimbatore-based International Consultant and Management Services (ICMS) will provide the technology for installation of ICMS-UE series domestic wind turbines. The turbines will convert wind energy into electrical power for domestic use. "The machine comes under four different models namely 600 watt, 1500, 3300 and 4200 watt, all useful for Indian standard house utensils and costs between Rs 80,000 and Rs 3 lakh,'' said R C Ravi, director of ICMS.
Finally, a deal with Europe
Electricity consumption in Turkey is rising at between 8 and 10 per cent a year, and is expected to increase at much the same rate for at least the next two decades - creating a big headache for officials. Current estimates predict that, with demand rising faster than the pace at which power plants are being constructed, the country could face a power shortage.
