Abstract

Wind Resource availability needs to evaluated very thoroughly before any big plans are made for utilisation both for small or big applications. Often, this is not the case. It is essential to have a very carefully thought out implementation program the first step of which is the detailed resource assessment program. The Indian Wind Energy program realised this need quite early and developed an independent resource measurement program. When this was done, wind mills and wind turbines had a modest hub height of 10 to 20 meters. It was and is a standard meteorological practice to mountanemometers at an elevation of 10 meters above ground level. What started as a rather innocuousscientific measurement program got extended to the entire country over a span of two decades. Being a government sponsored project response time to changing circumstances and expectations appeared to be inadequate. However, the program did give a better starting point for large scale deployment. The lessons learnt in the process can be profitably used in designing future country specific measurement programs elsewhere. A good estimate of country wide possibilities including extreme weather conditions is an absolute minimum requirement before one embarking on deploying wind turbine hardware. If, for example, wind speeds never cross say 5 m/s at an elevation of 20 m agl, wind power hardware would give precious little energy over a year. If a wind turbine is rated at 10 kW, it would be delivering on an average of 1.5 to 2 kW equivalent powers over the year. Unless other resources are very expensive or not available at all, it may not make sense to deploy the hardware anyway. One example is the need to transport fuel oil to islands for electricity generation. The subsidy Government will have to provide to make it affordable will be so high that a RE technology device can pay for itself in a much shorter time. Another important consideration will be the extreme wind conditions that the machine will be expected to take in its stride. This aspect needs to be paid much attention. Wind Energy convertors normally have an upper limit specified. It has to be adhered to.
