Abstract

Wind energy is highly preferred alternative as compared to conventional sources of power. India plays a leading role in the global wind energy market, but it is still not use its full wind potential, which is far from the exhausted condition. Moreover, these resources can lead to growth in Indian power sector. In this paper, the assessment of wind technology is explored for Indian context vis-a-vis indices related to wind technology. The state wise status, challenges, development of wind power; and market for small wind turbine system are discussed in detail. Moreover, the issues related to wind turbine capacity and installation are elaborated for wind technology in India.

Keywords
