Now it's
time to focus on Wind which is the current largest renewable energy source in
India. Wind energy is a form of green energy that can be harnessed using wind
turbines, which converts kinetic energy from the wind to electric power. With
the help of renewable technologies, wind can be made use for our energy
requirements in the areas like electrification, agriculture, fueling etc.
Wind farms (Arrays of large turbines) are used by many countries to harness electric energy from the wind as part of a strategy to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. The smallest turbines are used for generating electricity for charging the batteries of boats, caravans etc. or to power traffic warning signs. For domestic power supply, slightly larger turbines are used
India has started replacing wind energy with conventional fuels in the areas of electricity generation, agriculture, heating or cooling of air and water, fueling motors etc. and our wind energy sector is growing faster than ever. Renewable technologies are suited to the development of rural and remote areas and it can contribute a lot to the poor and undeveloped countries for their rapid development.

Electrification
in rural and remote areas is one of the major factors to be addressed for
India's over all development. Harnessed wind energy can be used to fulfill
these energy needs to a large extend. Our renewable energy markets need to grow
strongly in the coming years and future to promote this energy source and its
potential.
Countries
like United States and China are heavily investing in the renewable energy sector.
By investing in and utilizing the wind energy potential, India can go a long
way through its developmental path. Depending on renewable energy can also
ensure a significant level of energy security.
Our
government needs to look closer at wind energy as a choice to replace other
conventional energy sources. In a country like India, where one third of the
population haven't seen an electric bulb yet, it will be a practical and
effective choice to depend on nature and
utilize this friendly green energy to overcome the energy poverty we are facing
today.
WindergyIndia is a unique digital platform recently launched by Indian Wind Turbine
Manufacturers Association and it is the voice of today's wind energy industry.
Its mission is to develop recommendation for Wind Energy among the general
public and create awareness on the benefits of it. Even though the Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy has set ambitious targets for the sector (aims to
reach 60,000 MW capacities), it needs the support of the Government to achieve
it.
The
advantage of utilizing wind power over other energy sources is that it is pure,
clean and harmless. Other energy sources like fossil fuels pollute our planet
and cause numerous health problems when burning for power. Moreover wind power
generates no emissions and repairs the damages fossil fuels have done for
years.
We can make
this clean energy within our own country, thus avoiding the economy flowing to
other countries. It can also create job opportunities. Wind energy is the energy of the future and
harnessing this sustainable green energy is a viable solution within the
country to meet our growing energy needs. Support wind energy and help to create a pollution free environment for your loved ones and the planet.
