Repowering the wind power policy in India

Image
  Wind is one the renewable energy source which is contributing renewable power to the grid. Till date, India has installed 37278.68 MW (as on 31.12.2019) of wind energy across the country. The country has covered almost all the locations in the windy regions (Onshore) where the wind potential is high and still new technology are adapted to increase the hub height from 50 to 120 meters with an increased turbine capacity of upto 2MW . The old wind generators are gradually reducing efficiency of the wind turbines and with the new technological growth is being taking place which is a constant process. There is a gradual increase in size and capacity of the wind turbine from KW to MW scale. The old turbine capacity is 1 kW to 800 kW and in the present scenario the lowest wind turbine capacity is 1 MW to the highest of 10 MW . But still in few companies are showing interest in install at KW scale which is having more efficiency. The companies are trying to increase the capacity ...
