“…Ramachandra et al (1997) evaluated the wind energy availability and its characteristics at Kumta and Sirsi in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka based on the primary data collected at these sites for a period of 24 months and concluded that coastal taluks such as Karwar and Kumta have good wind energy potential. Ganesan and Ahmed (2008) used wind speed and direction data measured at 10 m and 25 m above ground level for the assessment of wind power potential for Bhopal, India. They reported that the annual energy yields of 3.712 GWh and 4.431 GWh corresponding to hub heights of 50 m and 70 m. Chandel et al (2014) assessed the wind resource potential of the Western Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, India using Weibull distribution function.…”

Wind energy is one of the abundant, cheap and fast-growing renewable energy sources whose intensive extraction potential is still in immature stage in India. This study aims at the determination and evaluation of wind energy potential of three cities located at different elevations in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The historical records of wind speed, direction, temperature and pressure were collected for three South Indian cities, namely Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore over a period of 38 years (1980-2017). The mean wind power density was observed to be highest at Chennai (129 W/m2) and lowest at Erode (76 W/m2) and the corresponding mean energy content was highest for Chennai (1129 kWh/m2/year) and lowest at Erode (666 kWh/m2/year). Considering the events of high energy-carrying winds at Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore, maximum wind power density were estimated to be 185 W/m2, 190 W/m2 and 234 W/m2, respectively. The annual average net energy yield and annual average net capacity factor were selected as the representative parameters for expressing strategic wind energy potential at geographically distinct locations having significant variation in wind speed distribution. Based on the analysis, Chennai is found to be the most suitable site for wind energy production followed by Coimbatore and Erode.

“…WAsP takes into account the sheltering effects due to nearby buildings and other obstacles surrounding the wind mast. The position of the close environmental barriers around it must be defined [20][21][22]. Thereafter, suitable sites to install wind turbines optimally can be selected according to the created wind power and wind speed maps [23][24][25].…”

“…Even though its availability varies from place to place, it is environmentally friendly. Numerous works on wind energy availability and the effects were reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and many technical studies were also reported [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The wind zone above ground can be divided into two parts namely upper wind and surface wind.…”

An investigation on the power output on effect of tower height with same diameter of rotor was conducted in a wind turbine site. As the wind acceleration is varying with height, 3 levels were selected according to the availability of tower. The responses of power output with respect to variation of wind speed are changing for the tower heights of 30, 40, and 50 m. The study showed that the actual ideal power output and measured real power output follow the same trend within range of operating wind speed. The empirical model used for calculation of actual ideal power output was compared with real power output and the overall concepts in power output also had been analysed.
