SCENARIO OF WIND ENERGY IN THE STATE OF GUJARAT
Student Electrical Engineering NIT, India
ABSTRACT
transition to renewable energy has become imperative due to the converting crises of increasing fossil fuel prices, their projected extinction in the next few decades, and climate change. World over, the transition has begun and WIND POWER is leading it. Renewable energy sources, especially wind turbine generator, are considered as important generation alternatives in electrical power system due to their non exhausted nature and benign environmental effects. The purpose of this paper is to understand the economics of wind power and to understand the financial viability of wind power projects for industries as well as utilities. We are re-inventing an old, reliable and green energy source is the run-up to a postfossil fuel world. That green source is WIND and INDIA now rank 4th in the world in terms of installed capacity derived from wind power, which makes our paper especially timely.
