 INTRODUCTION

Abundant and reliable

Harnesses power and generates electricity effectively

Promises to reduce fossil fuel dependence

Potential to boost global energy security

 WHY IS IT RELIABLE ?

Stable wind and tide patterns

Reliable day & night energy
Coastal location for cost-effective infrastructure
Reduced fossil fuel reliance with wave energy
Minimal ecosystem disruption
Proximity to demand centers boosts sustainability
Water wheels: Harness kinetic energy from rivers for tasks like grain milling
Wave Energy Converters (WECs): Generate electricity from ocean waves
Both use buoyant structures or hydraulics to capture wave motion
Convert motion into electrical power
Water wheels operate in rivers, while WECs are deployed in oceans
Represents tapping natural forces for energy
 HOW DOES IT WORK?
● Utilizes flowing water's kinetic energy
● Contains blades or buckets around its circumference
● Rotates due to water flow
● Powers tasks like grinding grain, sawing wood, or machinery
● Efficiency influenced by design, flow rate, and load
● Provides sustainable mechanical power

● Coexistence: Water wheels and WECs are both valuable.
● Global Service: Water wheels serve communities worldwide.
● Diversification Potential: WECs can reduce reliance on fossil fuels .
WIND ENERGY
WHAT IS WIND ENERGY AND HOW
DOES WINDMILLS WORK?
Wind energy is electrical energy obtained from
harnessing the wind with windmills or wind
turbines.
The wind turbines use the blades to collect wind
energy. The wind flows over the blades which
create a lift causing the blade to
rotate(conversion into turning force). This is
connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric
generator, which produces electricity.

• Decreased drag
• Unbalanced turbine

• Greater energy yield than three

• Wobbling  stability issues
• Stress on components

• Greater wind resistance

• Slowing of generation of electricity

USE OF WIND ENERGY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

CHINA
•Largest energy production from wind, with 824 terawatt hours
•REGIONS – southeastern coast, inner Mongolia, northeastern China.

U.S
•About 3 billion KWH eachenough to meet the residential needs of 1
million people).
•The regions Altamont Pass, Tehachapi and Palm Springs California.

U.K
•over 75 million MWh/p.a. from wind energy (enough to power 20
million homes ).
•The wind farm- Hornsea 2 off the Yorkshire coast, North Sea (power
1.4 million homes.)

INDIA
•44.736 (GW) (the fourth largest in the world).
•The wind farm- Muppandal Wind Farm in Kanyakumari ,Tamil
Nadu (capacity of 1500 MW)
IMPORTANCE OF WIND ENERGY IN INDIA

○ Pollution saving potential of wind energy:

○ High Wind Energy Potential of India:

○ Depleting nonrenewable sources of Energy
