WINDMILL DESIGN
A Windmill captures
wind energy and then
uses a generator to
convert
it
to
electrical energy.
When designing a
windmill, one must
decide on the size of
the turbine, and the
size of the generator.
Large Turbine
Small Turbine
LARGE TURBINES:
Able to deliver electricity
at lower cost than smaller
turbines,
because
foundation costs, planning
costs, etc. are independent
of size.
Well-suited for offshore
wind plants.
SMALL TURBINES:
Local electrical grids may not be able to handle the large
electrical output from a large turbine, so smaller turbines
may be more suitable.
High costs for foundations for small turbines may not be
economical in some areas.
Landscape considerations
A rotor with an even number of blades will give stability problems for a
machine with a stiff structure.

Used for
Pumping water
Grinding grain
Offshore turbines
More wind speeds
Less noise pollution
Less visual impact
Difficult to install and maintain

5. By 2012, India will install further 6,000 MW wind power
capacity
6. It generates 1.6% of the countrys power but actual
installation capacity is 6%.
7. The world wide installed capacity of wind power
reached 120,798 MW by the end of 2008.

Geothermal Energy
WHAT DOES THE WORD "GEOTHERMAL" MEAN?
Geo = Earth Thermal = Heat
WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY?
Energy that can be extracted from the hot rocks present inside the earth is
called geothermal energy.
How it will happen?
Where the earth's tectonic plates collide and one slides beneath another. The
best example of these hot regions is the Pacific Ring of Fire.

fire
In some places, the steam or hot water comes out of the ground naturally
through cracks in the form of natural geysers. Example: Manikaran, Kullu,
Sohana, Haryana.
Sometime it will not find place to come out. There we have to make hole
by artificial drilling in the hot rocks and gush out the water through pipe at
high pressure which turn the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.
