Wind energy-the Indian scenario Bakshl, R. Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting, 2002. IEEE Volume 1, Issue , 2002 Page(s): 344 - 345 vol.1 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/PESW.2002.985012 Summary: Summary form only given as follows. In India, grid connected wind power generation has now gained a high level of attention and acceptability as compared to other renewable technologies available in the country. Wind energy installation in the country is around 1340 MW as on March 31, 2001 and around 6.75 billion units of electricity have been fed to the state grids so far. India has undertaken one of the world's largest efforts for wind resource assessment, a programme that covers 25 states comprising about 900 stations. The study has indicated a gross wind potential of around 45000 MW and the technical potential is currently estimated at 13000 MW. A notable feature of the Indian wind energy programme has been the interest evinced by private investors/developers in setting up of commercial wind power projects. A capacity of 1250 MW of commercial wind power projects has so far been installed, mainly in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The largest installation of wind turbines in the country so far is in the Muppandal and Perungudi area near Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu with an aggregate installed capacity of about 500 MW. This represents one of the largest concentrations of wind farm capacity at any particular location. State-of-the-art technology is now available in India for manufacturing wind turbines of capacity up to 750 kW. Presently about 12 manufacturers are engaged in the production of wind electric generators. The annual production capacity of the domestic wind turbine industry is around 500 MW at present. The future of wind energy in India is extremely bright and there is no doubt that in the renewable energy sector, wind power would play a predominant role in adding to the national grid clean and nonpolluting energy to a substantial extent. » View citation and abstract
