| | ADVANTAGES OF WIND POWER: | | | 1. The wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. 2. Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. 3. Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes up only a small plot of land. This means that the land below can still be used. This is especially the case in agricultural areas as farming can still continue. 4. Many people find wind farms an interesting feature

most renewable source of energy in Ireland is wind power. Ireland is a small island country situated at the very north west of Europe where the resource of wind is abundant. At 50 meters above ground level at all the 5 main points open plain‚ open sea‚ sea coast‚ hills and ridges and sheltered terrain Ireland has a significant amount of wind and wind resource which increases the potential for renewable energy generation. All this free wind could power schools and homes throughout Ireland. A limiting

Dr. D Shina S N COLLEGE‚ KOLLAM Kerala‚India The country is facing acute power shortage. The power deficit has touched an all time high during summer 2008. The peaking shortage was 13% with an energy shortage of 9%.. During the 10th plan period‚ the generation capacity addition was just 21‚180 MW‚ a mere 51% of the original target of 41‚110 MW. For the 11th plan period the government has set another ambitious target of 78‚577 MW but the progress during the first year of the plan (2007-08) was

The development of wind power in India began in the 1990s‚ and has significantly increased in the last few years. Although a relative newcomer to the wind industry compared with Denmark or the United States‚ India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.[1] In 2009-10 India’s growth rate was highest among the other top four countries. As of 31 Jan 2013 the installed capacity of wind power in India was 18634.9[2][3] MW‚ mainly spread across Tamil Nadu (7134 MW)‚[4] Gujarat
