(i) The mechanism of energy conversion from blowing wind is simple. The kinetic energy of wind through turbines is converted into electrical energy.
(ii) The permanent wind systems—trade winds, westerlies and seasonal wind like monsoon have been used as source of energy. Local winds, land and see breezes can be used to produce electricity.
(iii) India has started generating wind energy with a total capacity of 45 mega watts. Non-conventional sources of energy is developing wind energy in India to lessen the burden of oil import bill.
(iv) The country’s potential of wind power generation exceed 50,000 mega watts. One fourth can be easily harnessed.
(v) Being a non-conventional energy sources it will provide more sustained ecofriendly cheaper energy. And an inexhaustible source, India could generate energy as per their requirement and investment. A bright future is seen in this field.
