 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 cost-
effective 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 co’s 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.

 PROJECT SYNOPSIS

Since there is a very great amount of load shedding in rural areas & no new power
plants are expected in near future there is a very huge demand for wind & solar power
projects including small units like ours one.
