ABSTRACT:

ABSTRACT

Climate change has become one of the biggest challenges of the global environment which is primarily caused by the emission of green house gases due to the burning of fossil fuels. It has compelled the world to explore renewable sources of energy for power generation which are environment friendly. Wind resource is one of the major renewable energy resources besides solar resource. The paper gives an overview of the wind power development in India including basic principle and technology. The policy and service supports are briefly explained. The trend for optimum use of location specific wind resource in the form of repowering, wind-solar hybrid and off-shore projects is also discussed.
