This work is the analysis of the energy generation of a 2 MW wind power project installed at Motha, District Amaravati, in the state of Maharashtra. The various availabilities of the wind power project were studied for the efficient energy production of the project. It was observed that 92.72 percent of the system was available for energy generation throughout the year. The energy generation data with the various shutdowns of the system was studied. The energy generation of the system was studied in terms of the plant load factor or the capacity factor. Capacity factor was observed to be 21.16 percent with the total energy generation unit being 3.73 MWh.

The ever increasing energy demand, unemployment in developing countries like India, Increased awareness of people towards the health are some of the driving forces for the development of powered machines. The experimentation has been carried out on a fodder cutter energized by electrical power. Fodder-cutter machines are used every day by farmers and their families in India for preparation of fodder for the livestock they own. This paper discus about the procedure of the testing of fodder cutter machine.

: A proper placement of seed in field is most important operation in order to obtain optimum yield of crop. Day by day the land fragmentation was increased and which resulted near about 65 pre cent of the land holders are small and marginal land holding capacity in the region. Considering the limitations due to costly seed, traditional method of manual dibbling, labour shortage and small marginal land holding pattern there is need of small manual planter for small and marginal land holders. In view of the above, the manually operated seed planter was tested at Deptt. of Farm Power and Machinery, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. A single row cotton planter was evaluated for performance by conducting laboratory and field tests. In laboratory test calibration of planter for seed rate, uniformity of seed planting and percentage of seed damage was determined at three cell plate, two gear ratio and level of seed in hopper. Based on the laboratory test cell plate, gear ratio and level of seed in hopper were selected for field test. The three trials of planter were taken for planting Bt-cotton crop. The field tests comprised of determination of effective field capacity, average depth of placement of seeds in the furrows and mean spacing of seeds within each row. The rate of work was observed to be in the range of 0.18 to 0.21 ha/h at forward speed of 2.24 to 2.5 km/h in well prepared seed bed along with the opened furrows. The average depth of planting was observed in the range of 4.5 cm to 5cm. The field efficiency of the planter was observed in the range of 88.88 to 91.1 per cent.

The present research work assesses the bioenergy available in a rural village for self-sustainable development. The biomass consumption of the village for domestic as well as for all the activities has been collected. The study also entailed the collection of all bioenergy sources available in the village. The bioenergy sources, such as biomass available through forestry, agriculture waste and residues etc., and animal waste (animal dung), have been collected for the exact quantification of the bioenergy generation capacity of the village. From the study it has been found that the village has considerable bioenergy potential. The magnitude of the bioenergy density will help in achieving a self power-generating village. The bioenergy density will also help for the development of a bioenergy atlas for the particular location. A suitable renewable energy generation system in the studied village is being recommended.

To reduce the dependency on the fossil fuels a low-cost Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) sprayer was developed in the present investigation which has a boom sprayer attachment and battery electric vehicle as a prime mover. The developed system has high uniformity of spray, the spray distribution along with the swath and easy to adjust height of boom over a target crop. The developed BEV sprayer was tested in the laboratory and on the experimental field for optimization of the operating parameters for green gram crop. It was observed that an electric motor of 1 kW, 48 V, BLDC capable to propelled the vehicle. The forward speed studied for optimization of spray nozzles were 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 km/h and nozzles were tested at the operating pressures of 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 kg/cm2 with orifice diameters of 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.0 mm in the experimental field. The RSM results showed that the optimized performance of the sprayer with 0.8 mm orifice size nozzle on 3.0 kg/cm2 pressure and at a forward speed of 2.5 km/h for the green gram crop. The field tests were carried out on the optimized parameters it was observed that the effective field capacity of the sprayer was 1.09 ha/h with field efficiency of 79.81 per cent.
