Wind Energy is a form of renewable energy - a transformed form of energy, replenished by the sun everyday. This transformation takes place when our EARTH receives SUNLIGHT from the SUN in the day time. As the Earths crust gets heated warm Air rises upwards and cool Air from surroundings rushes in.
Why does this happen when the surroundings also receive sunlight??
Good Question.
Because our EARTH is not FLAT it is ROUND and always rotating on its axis from west to east. Continuously some parts are getting in the SUNLIT area and some are going out. As a result at one place temperature is on rise but at the same time at other place temperature is reducing. Further at different places the SUN RAYS are striking the EARTH’S crust at different angles and absorbed at different rates giving uneven temperature rise. This difference in temperature give rise to WIND which is available for free for us to use for our benefits

Benefits of Generating Energy using Wind Generators
Reduces climate change and other environmental pollution.
Wind energy can be utilized as a shield against ever increasing power prices. The cost per KWH reduces over a period of time as against rising cost for conventional power projects.
Diversifies energy supply, eliminates imported fuels, provides hedge against the price volatility of fossil fuels, thereby provides energy security and prevention of conflict over natural resources.
Wind Farm
- One of the cheapest sources of electrical energy.
- Least equity participation required, as well as low cost debt is easily available to wind energy projects.
- A project with fastest payback period.
- A real fast track power project with lowest gestation period
- A Modular Concept. Operation and maintenance cost are very low.
- Minimum marketing risk as the products is electrical energy.
- Creates employment, regional growth and innovation.
- Reduces poverty through improved energy access.
- Fuel sources are free, abundant and inexhaustible.
- Wind generators deliver utility-scale power supply.
