    Wind energy is generated through modern wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. Wind turbines have blades that spin a rotor, which then activates a generator to produce electricity. There are two main types of wind turbines: vertical axis and horizontal axis turbines. Wind turbines start producing electricity at wind speeds of 4-5 meters/second and reach maximum output around 15 meters/second, generating power 70-85% of the time depending on wind conditions. While initial capital costs are high at Rs. 30-35 lakh, the electricity generated can be sold to offset costs and investments typically break even within 5-6 years.

    Wind Energy
    Introduction
    Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the
    atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of
    the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water,
    and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy, when "harvested" by
    modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity.

     How wind energy Is generated ?


    Wind turbines convert the energy in wind to electricity by rotating propeller-
    like blades around a rotor.
    Types Of Wind Turbines
    Turbine Components

    Vertical Wind Turbine Horizontal Wind Turbine


    How Does A Wind Turbine work?
    Efficiency Of Wind Turbines Cost Estimated
    • Wind turbines start operating at wind • Rs 30-35 lakh as capital investment for
    speeds of 4 to 5 metres per second and wind turbine
    reach maximum power output at around 15 • The annual operation and
    metres/second. maintenance cost, including
    • A modern wind turbine produces electricity insurance, works out to Rs 40,000-
    70-85% of the time, but it generates 50,000. Wind turbine makers provide
    different outputs depending on the wind one-year warranty on the installation.
    speed. • An individual investing in a wind
    turbine will garner about Rs 13 lakh by
    selling energy to the state electricity
    board in the first year.
    • Takes five-six years to break-even
