Environment impact analysis
Comparison of wind v/s nuclear
• Installing a nuclear power plant is more complex than wind power
plant.
• Power generation in nuclear is much more than wind power plant.
• Nuclear power plant has an exposure to lot of Thermal cycles while
wind plant has mechanical stress.
• Installing a nuclear power plant is much more costly than wind power
plant.
• For similar amount of energy production wind power plant consume
more land than nuclear power plant.
Comparison of Wind V/s Solar
• Solar have very less moving parts when
compare to wind power unit.
• Wind need more maintenance when
compared to solar.
• Solar can be easily installed anywhere
even at our roof top easily but wind
power system need to be installed at
least above 30 feet which is not possible
in urban areas.
• Wind can even generate energy in night
while solar can’t
• Wind produce noise when compared
with solar.

Cost
Components of Cost
• Cost of Capital: Cost of money needed
to build the wind farm
• Annual Energy Production (AEP)
• Revenue Generated.
• Annual Maintenance cost.
Different Tools for
Wind Energy
Economics
• Simple Payback Time (SPT): Capital
investment/ (Annual Revenue – Cost)
• Net Present Value (NPV): NPV is the
sum of the cash flows in today’s money
minus the original investment
•
• Levelised Cost of Energy: cost per MWh
that can be used for comparison

Classification of
Generation capacity
on Grid:
• Base Load Generators: supply energy to
cover the base load. Base load is the
minimum amount of hourly energy
consumption across the entire grid on
any day.
• Spinning Reserves: Running at low
capacity all the time and can react very
quickly to increase in demand.
• Non Spinning Reserves: is the extra
generating capacity that is not currently
connected to the system but can be
brought online after a short delay.

Analysis of wind speed
We have analysed the data and came to following conclusion that :
• There is adequate wind source in this region.
• Wind speed is relatively low in winter during December- January.
• There is change in wind direction with time but it can be controlled by Yaw controlling mechanism
in “Wind Turbine”

Data of Visakhapatnam District
• Total Population = 2035922
• Per Capita Utilization= 1040 KWH
• Total Estimated Consumption= 2117.35 MU
• Total Estimated Energy Requirement > 3000 MU
• Approximate Energy needed to be added > 900 MU
• Total Capacity of wind turbine = 100MW
Category of wind turbine to be installed.
• HAWT : Since we need these turbines for fulfilling electricity requirement so instead of vertical
we choose horizontal which has relatively less drag force, more efficiency, accessible to wind
energy at high altitude.
• 3 Blade wind turbine is used since it is mostly used in India to extract energy for electricity
demand fulfilment.
• General Rotor dia.= 85m to 90m
• 2000KW Wind turbine
• Total Wind Turbine to be Installed = 100/2= 50 Wind turbines.
Transmission Plan
• Asynchronous generator will be and AC to DC Converter will not be
used since distance of transmission is not very much around 25- 30
km.
• Power from wind turbine generator will be of around 600-700v.
• Extracted AC output will be further step up to around 33KV.
• Then that 33KV voltage will be sent to Sub station.
• From substation electricity will be further supplied to Grid by stepping
up the voltage to around 150-200KV
Wind Turbine Manufacturer in India
Conclusion
• The potential of wind power generation is immense, a historical
source of energy, wind can be used both as a source of electricity and
for irrigation and agricultural uses.
• Wind energy installation in a short term will increase household
electricity bill but in a long term it is beneficial for us being a
sustainable source.
• Even now there is demand of lot’s of innovation for improving
efficiency so that we can maximize energy extaction.
