| Wind Energy - Green Energy |
Hey Friends,
Broadly speaking, there are two types of
sources of energy that can be harnessed to produce electrical power. Those are:
Renewable and non-renewable. Renewable sources are those that are available in
environment in plenty and are readily replenished by nature like; Wind, solar
energy and water. These sources do not create any types of pollutants per se
so, also called as the sources of #GreenEnergy. No pollutants means lesser
greenhouse effect and an overall reduction in global warming. The non-renewable
sources of energy are perishable or take a period of thousands of years to be
replenished by nature. So, in simple terms, a developing country like India
should focus of utilizing the renewable sources of energy as much as possible
in order to meet the electricity production. The speedy winds can be very well
utilized in the rural areas of India to produce enough electricity to run
household and even certain small scale factories.
The ministry of new and renewable energy
has some ambitious plans and targets aiming to reach capacities of nearly,
60,000 MW. The advantage of using Wind energy in a country like India is its
low maintenance and running cost. The equipment installed for production of
electricity from wind energy can run for long periods of time without much
attention. An inspection or two are required every two years or so. Even local
care takers can be trained to service the equipment after providing spare parts.
Most of the parts needed for making a wind mill can be manufactured thus
creating a viable option for generating employment thus, indirectly bringing
about rural economic development. A developing country like ours needs to male
use of such simple and sustainable methods to support development and economic
growth at the level of villages.
If, we are able to produce ample
electricity using the power from Wind energy or say a hybrid equipment between
Wind energy and conventional/ fossil energy, it would soon be possible to
replace candles, dry cell batteries and even kerosene oil and save the money of
villagers making their life more convenient and finances better managed. Wind
energy India, is a digital initiative taken up by the Indian turbine
manufacturers association that aims to create more awareness about the huge
potential of utilizing Wind energy in India.
