Wind power development in India
This book is the first-ever comprehensive attempt to place wind power in Indian context and to deliberate on issues and actions needed to sustain this growth in the future. What makes the book truly comprehensive is the breadth of its coverage, which ranges from the history of wind power development in India through technical issues such as assessment of wind resources, certification of wind turbines, indigenization, wind R&D worldwide, and offshore wind energy; practical considerations such as integration of wind farms into the power grid, operation and maintenance, forecasting, and small and micro turbines; and financial matters such as economics of investment, perceptions of investors and lenders, the CDM as additional revenue stream, and regulatory and tariff regime; to social facets such as human resources and capacity building, socio-economic impacts, and environmental impacts.
