India's success story in the Wind Energy Sector

In the 94000 MW worldwide capacity, India stands 4th with 7850MW installations. This sector is growing @26.6% annually. Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra are leading states.
Recently some state of art Provisional Typr Testing Facilities have been developed in India.

Why not make Wind Energy a B -Tech branch in IITs

India is facing acute power crisis. Its going to worsen as fossil fuels get depleted. We have lots of tech issues resolved in the wind power sector, but some still exist. Wind power is growing at a rate of 22% per annum. It needs dedicated techies to work in the industry.
Microsiing, Wind mapping, compnent designing, operation and maintenance, gris connectivity are some of the many subjects that can be in the curriculum.

How to overcome Gearbox Problem

Gearbox is the most difficult item in the supply chain of wind turbines. Larger the gearbox, more is the problem.

Suzlon has some inhouse capacity, but thats not enough. Lets solve this problem by 5 point plan:-

1. Declrare incentives for gearbox manufacturers.

2.Setting up a tech mission roping in IITs to suggest design changes to imrove reliability.

3.Make import duty free.

4.Allow free transportation to reduce landing cost.
