INTRODUCTION

ReNew Power Ventures Pvt. Ltd. is an indian renewable energy

company headquartered in Guargaon,Haryana,India.ReNew Power
is committed to leading a change in the countrys current energy
portfolio by delivering cleaner and smarter energy choices and
thereby reducing indias carbon footprint.It is an independent
Power Producer of clean energy with an installed capacity of more
than 1000 megawatt across the states of Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and
Gujarat. ReNew Power commissioned its first wind farm project in
Rajkot district in Gujarat in 2012. Shri. Narender Modi ,the Prime
Minister of India,inaugrated the 25.2 MW wind farm.

ReNew power is the first crossed 1 GW and counting..

ReNew Power was established by Mr. Sumant Sinha in 2011.

It has 250 no. of employees working in it.

ReNew Power is largest IPP(Independent power
producer) in the country by way of cumulative installed
capacity.
Of the 1400 MW that ReNew Power is developing 1100
MW is Solar and the rest is wind energy.

WIND ENERGY
Wind Energy describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind
turbines convert kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. Wind turbines convert the
energy in wind to electricity propeller like blades around a rotor. The rotor turns the drive
shaft, which turns an electric generator. A generator can convert mechanical power into
electricity.
Three factors affect amount of energy of a turbine can harness from wind:
WIND SPEED
AIR DENSITY
SWEPT AREA
Equation for Wind Power
P=1/2AV

Wind Turbine Energy

Wind Turbine
Wind energy is created when the atmosphere is heated unevenly
by the Sun, some patches of air become warmer than others.
These warm patches of air rise, other air rushes in to replace them
thus, wind blows.
A wind turbine extracts energy from moving air by slowing the
wind down, and transferring this energy into a spinning shaft,
which usually turns a generator to produce electricity. The power
in the wind thats available for harvest depends on both the wind
speed and the area thats swept by the turbine blades.

Wind Turbine Design

Two types of turbine design are possible Horizontal axis and Vertical axis. In
horizontal axis turbine, it is possible to catch more wind and so the power output
can be higher than that of vertical axis. But in horizontal axis design, the tower is
higher and more blade design parameters have to be defined. In vertical axis
turbine, no yaw system is required and there is no cyclic load on the blade, thus it
is easier to design. Maintenance is easier in vertical axis turbine whereas
horizontal axis turbine offers better performance.

Main components of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Blades and rotor: Converts the wind power to a rotational mechanical power.
Generator: Converts the rotational mechanical power to electrical power.
Gear box: Wind turbines rotate typically between 40 rpm and 400 rpm. Generators
typically rotates at 1,200 to 1,800 rpm. Most wind turbines require a
step-up gear-box for efficient generator operation (electricity production).

Main components of a Wind Turbine

Rotor

Rotor
The portion of the wind turbine that collects energy from the wind is called the rotor. The
rotor usually consists of two or more wooden, fiberglass or metal blades (new design) which
rotate about an axis (horizontal or vertical) at a rate determined by the wind speed and the
shape of the blades. The blades are attached to the hub, which in turn is attached to the
main shaft.

Power Generated by Wind Turbine

Wind turbines with rotors (turbine blades and hub) that are about 8 feet in diameter (50 square
feet of swept area) may peak at about 1,000 watts (1 kilowatt; kW), and generate about 75
kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month with a 10 mph average wind speed. Turbines smaller than this
may be appropriate for sailboats, cabins, or other applications that require only a small amount
of electricity. [Small Wind]
For wind turbine farms, its reasonable to use turbines with rotors up to 56 feet in diameter
(2,500 square feet of swept area). These turbines may peak at about 90,000 watts (90 kW), and
generate 3,000 to 5,000 kWh per month at a 10 mph average wind speed, enough to supply 200
homes with electricity.
Homes typically use 500-1,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month. Depending upon the
average wind speed in the area this will require a wind turbine rated in the range 5-15
kilowatts, which translates into a rotor diameter of 14 to 26 feet.

Example Residential Wind Turbine

Bergey wind turbines operate at variable speed to
optimize performance and reduce structural loads. Power
is generated in a direct drive, low speed, permanent
magnet alternator. The output is a 3-phase power that
varies in both voltage and frequency with wind speed.
This variable power (wild AC) is not compatible with the
utility grid. To make it compatible, the wind power is
converted into grid-quality 240 VAC, single phase, 60
hertz power in an IGBT-type synchronous inverter, the
GridTek Power Processor. The output from the GridTek
can be directly connected to the home or business circuit
breaker panel. Operation of the system is fully
automatic. It has a rotor diameter of 23 feet and is
typically installed on 80 or 100 foot towers.
