OFFSHORE WIND POWER GENERATION: NEW INDIA
In order to achieve the increasing demand of Power in our nation the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) have tested India’s first LIDAR based wind power test of the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujrat.The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) machine had been placed 23 Km from the coast of Gujrat for a period of one Year .Earlier as per the R & D ,south and west tip of the country has been having maximum potential of wind which could be easily collected to run Power Plant and the various turbines. Ministry of Renewable Energy and NIWE in collaborated with these places to search wind in India and they jointly launched the LiDAR based technology to examine the condition of wind in these offshores of Gujrat to see the potential of such wind.According to the sources received from the institute of wind energy the major sign of wind was passing from south of south west India with wind speed at the rate of 30% and the secondary prevalent wind direction in Northern India.
