  WIND POWERWIND POWER- What is it?- What is it?  All renewable energy (except tidal and geothermal power), ultimately comes from the sun  The earth receives 1.74 x 1017 watts of power (per hour) from the sun  About one or 2 percent of this energy is converted to wind energy (which is about 50-100 times more than the energy converted to biomass by all plants on earth  Differential heating of the earth’s surface and atmosphere induces vertical and horizontal air currents that are affected by the earth’s rotation and contours of the land  WIND. ~ e.g.: Land Sea Breeze Cycle

  • Winds areinfluenced by the ground surface at altitudes up to 100 meters. • Wind is slowed by the surface roughness and obstacles. • When dealing with wind energy, we are concerned with surface winds. • A wind turbine obtains its power input by converting the force of the wind into a torque (turning force) acting on the rotor blades. • The amount of energy which the wind transfers to the rotor depends on the density of the air, the rotor area, and the wind speed. • The kinetic energy of a moving body is proportional to its mass (or weight). The kinetic energy in the wind thus depends on the density of the air, i.e. its mass per unit of volume. In other words, the "heavier" the air, the more energy is received by the turbine. •at 15° Celsius air weighs about 1.225 kg per cubic meter, but the density decreases slightly with increasing humidity.

   A typical600 kW wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 43-44 meters, i.e. a rotor area of some 1,500 square meters.  The rotor area determines how much energy a wind turbine is able to harvest from the wind.  Since the rotor area increases with the square of the rotor diameter, a turbine which is twice as large will receive 22 = 2 x 2 = four times as much energy.  To be considered a good location for wind energy, an area needs to have average annual wind speeds of at least 12 miles per hour.

  WINDMILL DESIGNWINDMILL DESIGN A Windmill captures wind energy and then uses a generator to convert it to electrical energy.  The design of a windmill is an integral part of how efficient it will be.  When designing a windmill, one must decide on the size of the turbine, and the size of the generator.

  LARGE TURBINES: • Ableto deliver electricity at lower cost than smaller turbines, because foundation costs, planning costs, etc. are independent of size. • Well-suited for offshore wind plants. • In areas where it is difficult to find sites, one large turbine on a tall tower uses the wind extremely efficiently.

  SMALL TURBINES:  Localelectrical grids may not be able to handle the large electrical output from a large turbine, so smaller turbines may be more suitable.  High costs for foundations for large turbines may not be economical in some areas.  Landscape considerations

  Wind Turbines: Numberof Blades  Most common design is the three-bladed turbine. The most important reason is the stability of the turbine. A rotor with an odd number of rotor blades (and at least three blades) can be considered to be similar to a disc when calculating the dynamic properties of the machine.  A rotor with an even number of blades will give stability problems for a machine with a stiff structure. The reason is that at the very moment when the uppermost blade bends backwards, because it gets the maximum power from the wind, the lowermost blade passes into the wind shade in front of the tower.

  • Wind powergenerators convert wind energy (mechanical energy) to electrical energy. • The generator is attached at one end to the wind turbine, which provides the mechanical energy. • At the other end, the generator is connected to the electrical grid. • The generator needs to have a cooling system to make sure there is no overheating.

  SMALL GENERATORS:  Requireless force to turn than a larger ones, but give much lower power output.  Less efficient i.e.. If you fit a large wind turbine rotor with a small generator it will be producing electricity during many hours of the year, but it will capture only a small part of the energy content of the wind at high wind speeds. LARGE GENERATORS:  Very efficient at high wind speeds, but unable to turn at low wind speeds. i.e.. If the generator has larger coils, and/or a stronger internal magnet, it will require more force (mechanical) to start in motion.

  o A windmillbuilt so that it too severely interrupts the airflow through its cross section will reduce the effective wind velocity at its location and divert much of the airflow around itself, thus not extracting the maximum power from the wind. o At the other extreme, a windmill that intercepts a small fraction of the wind passing through its cross section will reduce the wind’s velocity by only a small amount, thus extracting only a small fraction of the power from the wind traversing the windmill disk. o Modern Windmills can attain an efficiency of about 60 % of the theoretical maximum.

  P/m^2 = 6.1x 10^-4 v^3 *The power in wind is proportional to the cubic wind speed ( v^3 ). WHY? ~ Kinetic energy of an air mass is proportional to v^2 ~ Amount of air mass moving past a given point is proportional to wind velocity (v)

  INDIAN SCENERIOINDIAN SCENERIO Thedevelopment of wind power in India began in the 1990s, and has significantly increased in the last few years. Although a relative newcomer to the wind industry compared with Denmark or the United States, India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world. [1] In 2009-10 India's growth rate was highest among the other top four countries.

  Various Project ofINDIAVarious Project of INDIA  There is a growing number of wind energy installations in states across India.  Tamil Nadu (7158 MW)[edit]  With peak wind power generation at close to 7000 MW, Tamil Nadu is one of the wind power hubs of South Asia. Tamil Nadu generates 40% of India's wind power.[14] Major districts with wind farms are Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Thirunelveli and Tiruppur. The Government of Tamil Nadu in the recent times has been criticized for lack of proper management, irregular and long pending payment of arrears to the windmill investors, this has led to the new projects moving to other states for investment and the state is no-longer a preferred destination for wind energy investments.[15][16]  India is keen to decrease its reliance on fossil fuels to meet its energy demand. Shown here is a wind farm in Muppandal, Tamil Nadu.  Gujarat (3,187 MW)[edit]  Gujarat government’s focus on tapping renewable energy has led to sharp rise in the capacity to generate power using wind energy in the last few years. According to official data, wind power generations capacity in the state has increased a staggering ten times in just six years.  As per C-WET data, the total installed capacity in Gujarat stood at 3093 MW.[17]  Maharashtra (2976 MW)[edit]  Maharashtra is third only to Tamil Nadu and Gujarat in terms of generating in India.In Satara a Company named Suzlon Energy Ltd. has its wind power plant.[citation needed]  Rajasthan (2355 MW)[edit]  2356 MW as per the news reported by Times of India, Dated 31.3.2012.[citation needed]

   Madhya Pradesh(386 MW)  In consideration of unique concept, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh has sanctioned another 15 MW project to Madhya Pradesh Windfarms Ltd. MPWL, Bhopal at Nagda Hills near Dewas under consultation from Consolidated Energy Consultants Ltd. CECL Bhopal. All the 25 WEGs have been commissioned on 31.03.2008 and under successful operation.[18]  Kerala  The first wind farm of the state was set up[when?] at Kanjikode in Palakkad district.[citation needed]  The Agency for Non-conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT), an autonomous body under the Department of Power, Government of Kerala, is setting up wind farms on private land in various parts of the state to generate a total of 600 MW of power. The agency has identified 16 sites for setting up wind farms through private developers.[citation needed]

   Odisha (2.0MW) Odisha a coastal state has higher potential for wind energy. Current installation capacity stands at 2.0 MW. Odisha has a windpower potential of 1700MW. The Govt of Odisha is actively pursuing to boost Wind power generation in the state. however it has not progressed like other states primarily because Odisha having a huge coal reserve and number of existing and upcoming thermal power plants, is a power surplus state.[19]  West Bengal (2.10MW)  The total installation in West Bengal is 2.10 MW till Dec 2009 at Fraserganj, Distt- South 24 Paraganas. More 0.5 MW (approx) at Ganga Sagar, Kakdwip, Distt - South 24 Paraganas. Both the project owned by West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA), Govt. of WB and project was executed on turnkey basis by Utility Powertech Limited
