An Overview of Relevance of Wind Energy in India

Authors(2) :-Dr. Manju Giri, Dr. Vinay Kumar Singh

There is a close link between availability of energy and future growth of a nation. Energy is consumed in a variety of forms and produced from variety of sources. Oil, Coal, Solar, wind and nuclear energy sources have become a permanent necessity of modern society. About 80% of energy demand still being met by Fossil fuels (Coal, Oil and solid biomass etc.) in which coal is the bulk primary contributor with a share of 56.9%. Growing energy needs through conventional sources such as coal, gas, etc. creates environmental problems. Emission of greenhouse gases, limited coal availability, environment distortion, rising prices of fossil fuels and pressure on foreign exchange reserves have created hindrance in the prolongation of these resources. Wind energy is indigenous and helps in reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. This paper begins by describing the importance of wind energy and its advantages over fossil fuels. It gives an overview of the wind energies in India with evaluating its Pros and Cons.
