Renewable Energy in India— Barriers to Wind Energy
Abstract
As the world moves toward greater development and growth, it
is imperative to appreciate the looming ramifications of environmental
degradation and ecological imbalances that are caused by atmospheric
carbon emissions. The increased negative effects of fossil fuels on the
environment has forced many countries, especially the developed ones,
to use renewable energy sources. Recently, renewable energy systems
have emerged as a clean and easy-to-maintain alternative to the use
of diesel engines for rural electrification. Among them wind energy,
biomass energy systems and solar photovoltaic (PV) offer capacity and
proven technologies to provide continuous and reliable energy. Wind
energy, the fastest developing energy source, is renewable and envi-
ronment friendly. Systems that convert wind energy to electricity have
developed rapidly
