DEMONSTRATION OF TRAINING
MODULE ON WIND ENERGY:-
INTRODUCTION TO WIND:-
 W ind - Atmospheric air in motion.
 It has become an energy source .
 About 2% of the sunlight that falls on the earth is transformed to wind

energy.
 Wind provides around 1% of the world's electricity

 Wind energy is the process by
which the wind generates
WHAT IS mechanical power or electricity.
WIND  It is the use of wind to provide
mechanical power through wind
ENERGY:- turbines to turn electric generators
for electrical power.
 The energy in the wind turns two
or three blades around a
rotor.The rotor is connected to
the main shaft,which spins a
WORKING generator to create
PRINCIPLE electricity.wind turbines convert
the kinetic energy in the wind
into mechanical power.
PARTS OF WIND TURBINE
SYSTEM:-
 Anemometer:- measures the wind speed and transmit wind speed data to the controller.
 Blades:- Lifts and rotates when wind is blown over them, causing the rotor to spin.
 Brake:- stops the rotor mechanically,electrically,,or hydraulically,in emergencies.
 Controller:- starts up the machine at wind speeds of about 8 to 16 miles per hour and shuts of
the machine at about 55 mph.
 Gear box:- connects the low speed shaft to the high-speed shaft and increases the rotational
speeds from about 30-60 rotations per minute,to about 1000-1800 rpm.
 Generator:- produces 60-cycle AC electricity; it is usually an off-the-shelf
induction generator.
 Nacelle:- Sits atop the tower and contains the gear box,low-and high-speed
shafts,generator,controller and brake.
 Wind vane:- Measures wind direction and communicate with the yaw drive to orient the
turbine properly with respect to the wind.
 Yaw drive:- orients up winds turbine to keep them facing the wind when the direction
changes.
WORKING
OF WIND

TURBINES
Wind blows toward the turbine's rotor blades.
 The rotors spins around ,capturing some of the
kinetic energy from the wind ,and turning the
central drive shaft that supports them.
 Inside the nacelle ,the gearbox converts the low-
speed rotation of the drive shaft into high-speed
rotation fast enough to drive the
generator efficiently.
 If its too windy or turbulent,brakes are applied to
stop the rotors from turning.
 The electric current produced by
the generator flows through a cable running down
through the inside of the turbine tower.

HARVESTING MAXIMUM
ENERGY:-
 The longer the rotor blades ,the more energy they can capture from the
wind .The giant blades multiply the wind's force , so a gentle breeze is often
enough to make the blades turn around.
 Put a turbine's rotor blades high in the air ,they capture considerably
more wind energy than they would lower down.
 More hub height from the ground empowers the rotor to practise high
velocity of air.
ONSHORE WIND ENERGY
 Onshore wind refers to turbines located on land.
 Power generation capacity is 49,130 MW.
 At higher hub heights , The potential of 49,130 MW at 50 meter

level.

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY
 India's coastline of 7600 km and exclusive economic zone of over
2.3 million square km provides good potential for offshore wind
power devlopment.
 Off-shore wind energy steering committee was constituted in 2012
to suggest policy frame work and inter-agency coordination.
 Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has prepared and issued
draft national Offshore Wind Energy Policy.

ADVANTAGE OF THE WIND
ENERGY:-
 Very low carbon dioxide emissions.
 No air or water pollution.
 No environmental impacts from mining and drilling.
 Completely sustainable - unlike fossils fuels ,wind will never run
out.
 New jobs in construction, operation, and , manufacture of turbines.
DISADVANTAGE OF THE WIND
ENERGY:-
 High up- front cost.
 Extra cost of complexity of balancing variables wind power with other forms of power.
 Extra cost of upgrading the power grid and transmission lines, through the whole system
of often benefits.
 Damage local wildlife.
 Loss of jobs for people working in mining and drilling.
 Can't supply 100% of a country's power all year round, the way fossil fuels , nuclear ,
hydroelectric, and biomass power can.
The future looks bright for wind energy because
technology is becoming more advanced and
windmills are becoming more effective.
Wind energy is rapidly increasing with the

passage of time. Government as well as world
is putting effort to understand its importance
and bringing best out of it.
Hence , to protect the environment from

hazards , other sources including wind energy is
used. It has proved to compensate for energy
very well.
Government is implementing policies to

harness it to recompense the hike in energy
demand.
