Energy from the wind is a form of solar energy.Winds are turbulent masses of air rushing to even out the differences in atmospheric pressure created when the sun heats the air move in one place than in another.
The power in the wind is proportional to the cube of the wind speed.Turbine type wind energy generators transform the kinetic energy of the wind into the rotary shaft motion,and in turn,into electrical energy.
The advantages of using wind energy are that it is plentiful,inexhaustible and non-polluting.It is an intermittent source of energy.Wind power is advantageous for small power requirements at isolated sites.However,for continuity of supply,it should be used in conjunction with other method of power generation.
with the advent of the oil crisis in 1973,signification strides have been made in the wind energy programme covering different aspects of wind energy utilization.The wind potential for power generation in India has been estimated to be more than 20000 MW.Wind power plants are located side by side in suitable location where wind velocity is of the order of 30 km per hour.The site is known as wind farm. Nine wind form projects of total capacity of 10.10 MW have so far been installed in Gujarat,Tamil Nadu,Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
