Wind Power in India is now a mainstream source of energy production. This has come about through the combined efforts of the Central Government, State Governments, domestic manufacturers and power producers. There is a huge potential yet untapped, and a bright future ahead! These slides were presented at the Global Investor's Summit 2014 at Indore on 9th October 2014.

7. WHAT WENT RIGHT
¨ MARKET ORIENTED APPROACH FROM THE START
¨ EXTENSIVE WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT DATA
¨ TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND A STRONG
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING BASE
¨ QUALITY ASSURANCE
¨ CONDUCIVE POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR PRIVATE
INVESTMENT

8. THE BEGINNINGS OF WIND POWER
¨ The Electricity Act 2003 mandated states to
promote generation from renewables- measures for
connectivity, sale, % consumption
¨ Demonstration projects with public funding
established viability
¨ Showcase of JV such as MP Wind Farms so that
private sector could replicate the concept, making
large projects through small investors
¨ States introduced wheeling, banking & sale policies

9. WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT & DATA AVAILABILITY
" 800 monitoring stations, 155 in Operation
" 75 stations at 100 m height in 7 high-wind states
" 8 handbooks on Wind Energy Resource Data
" Indian Wind Atlas launched
" 100 m WRA in 24 States (500 stations)
Ø Project cost : Rs. 171.22 Crore
Ø 40% i.e. Rs. 68.48 Crore recommended by IMG under NCEF
Ø Scheme operated through private operators (30% by private
operator, 40% from NCEF, 30% by State Govt.) in consultation
with SNAs
" Heights > 100 m to be taken up soon

10. STATE-OF-THE-ART TECH & MANUFACTURING
u Cost of Indian wind turbines lowest in the world
u Capacity: 250 – 2500 kW; Gear & Gearless
u Hub heights: 41– 110 m;
u Rotor Diameter: 28 – 120 m
u 19 manufacturers with 52 models
u Export to USA, Europe, South America, Asia
u Indigenization about 70%
u Rotor blades, gear boxes, yaw components, nacelle
cover, raw material for blades being manufactured

11. QUALITY ASSURANCE-NIWE &RRLM
