    INTRODUCTION

    A "wind farm" is a group of wind turbines in the same


    location used for production of electric power.
    Individual turbines are interconnected with a medium
    voltage (usually 34.5 kV) power collection system and
    communications network.
    At a substation, this medium-voltage electrical current is
    increased in voltage with a transformer for connection to
    the high voltage transmission system
    A large wind farm may consist of a few dozen to several
    hundred individual wind turbines, and cover an extended
    area of hundreds of square miles (square kilometers), but
    the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural
    or other purposes.
    A wind farm may be located off-shore to take advantage
    of strong winds blowing over the surface of an ocean or
    lake.

    Factors Affecting Wind Farms


    Location
    Wind speed
    Altitude
    Wind park effect
    Environmental and
    aesthetic impacts
    Effect on power

    Largest on-shore wind farms


    Alta wind energy center is
    the largest on-shore wind
    farm in the world
    It is situated in California,
    USA
    It's current generation
    capacity is 1320 MW

    Jaisalmer Wind Park is the


    second largest wind farm in
    the world.
    It is situated in Rajasthan,
    India.
    It's current generation
    capacity is 1064 MW.

    Largest off-shore wind farms

    London Array (630 MW) and


    Great Gabbard (504 MW) are
    considered as the two largest
    off-shore wind farms in the
    world. Both are installed in UK.

    India has yet to start it's first offshore project. TATA and ONGC
    had proposed three pilot
    projects in Gujarat and
    Tamilnadu.

    The development 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 US,
    a combination of domestic policy
    support for wind power and the rise
    of Suzlon (a leading global wind
    turbine manufacturer) have led
    India to become the country with
    the fifth largest installed wind
    power capacity in the world.

    As of 31 December 2013 the


    installed capacity of wind power in
    India was 20149 MW. Wind power
    accounts for 8.5% of India's total
    installed power capacity, and it
    generates 1.6% of the country's
    power.

    Pros
    Safe & Pollution free
    Inexhaustible
    Inexpensive after instalation

    Cons
    Wind speed variable and unreliable
    Wind turbines produce large amounts of noise
    pollution
    Off-shore wind farms go some way to solving
    these problems, but they are expensive to build
    and maintain. It is cheaper to put more coal into
    an existing power station than to build a new
    wind farm

    Negative
    Impacts
    Bird Strikes

    Conclusion
    The positive impacts of Wind Energy production
    far out-weigh the negative impacts
    Any impacts of wind energy should not be viewed
    in isolation.
    They should be judged against the far more
    serious environmental impacts of producing
    electricity from other energy sources
