Wind Energy Scenario: A Survey

Abstract

The basic requirement for socio-economical growth of any nation is energy. Presently the energy demand is increasing at very high rate. This high demand of energy cannot be fulfilled by the use of conventional energy sources because they are limited in nature leading to blackouts. So we need to develop our non-conventional sources of energy up to the mark to meet our energy requirements. These contemporary sources not only increase energy independency but also do not cause pollution resulting in mitigating climatic changes thereby improving health status. One of the contemporary energy sources is wind energy. Wind energy is identified as the key source by international energy agency to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Here we will discuss the present and future scope of wind energy globally and in India.

Keywords: Wind energy, contemporary energy, global scenario, India scenario, environmental policies
