electrifying rural areas. Wind energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable
energy due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness.

1.2 Site Assessment

The selection of a suitable site is crucial. Ideal conditions include:

- Average wind speed: 4.5–6.5 m/s

- Open terrain with minimal obstructions

- Accessibility for construction and maintenance

Parameter Value

Average Wind Speed 5.8 m/s

Elevation 350m

Distance to Load 0.5 km

1.3 Component Selection

Selected components:

Component Specification

Turbine Type Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)

Rated Power 1 kW

Blade Material Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic

Tower Height 12 m

Controller MPPT Controller

Battery 12V, 150Ah (x4)


1.4 Cost Analysis

Item Cost (INR)
