PROJECT SYNOPSIS

Introduction In many parts of the world, you can tap the power of the wind to generate nonpolluting renewable electricity. Wind plant designs have improved so much and the costs of oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear power are so high that many power companies are building large-scale wind plants. The more we rely on renewable energy, the less dependent we are on utility giants and nonrenewable, polluting fossil fuels. With world oil and gas supplies dwindling, experts estimate electricity prices will increase significantly in the coming years. A wind plant, especially in concert with a solar-electric photovoltaic (PV) system, is becoming a costeffective way to meet the energy needs. To encourage the shift to wind and solar power, various government programs offer personal tax credits, property tax exemptions, low-interest loans and rebate programs. Motivation We have got motivated to take up this project due to following reasons: 1) There is a huge shortage of electricity in India 2) The demand-supply gap is increasing due to growth of the industries 3) Governments are unable to cope up to produce electricity through thermal power plants 4) Wind & Solar energy is available abundantly everywhere & free of cost. 5) Since last 10 to 15 years we have seen very huge development in wind energy generation by cos like TATA Power, Suzlon Energy & Enercon in Western Maharashtra region which is an indicator of good returns on investment. 6) Due to load shedding in peak hours people are unable to do simple tasks also dependant on electricity. 7) A wind plant may not be able to meet 100 percent of energy needs, but it can offset energy bills. Objectives and Scope This project aims at highly cost effective Electricity Generation through windmill in concert with solar panels for every urban and rural homes & offices. It is very simple to construct & operate & can be very easily customized to suit the needs of different homes & offices.
