The era of exponential growth is over in India.
Same we see in the table below,
- Even though revised estimated wind energy potential in India is 102 GWe ( @80m hub height), govt's emphasis on solar energy will not let this potential be utilised.
- There are 46 types of tubines manufactured in India. ( annual capacity is 12000 MWe)
- Induction Genearators, Optislip Induction Generators , Doubly Fed Induction Generators, and hybrid generators ( single stage gear box + synchronous generator) and squirrel cage Induction Generators ( with stall turbines for low wind conditions) have been used in India.
- Hardly any Class I sites are left for development.
