Part 2/10:
Throughout the 1990s, policy incentives such as tax benefits encouraged numerous companies to enter the wind power sector. These initiatives spurred large-scale wind power generation, transforming the energy landscape. Today, wind turbines in India typically reach heights between 60 to 140 meters, designed to harness wind more efficiently. The turbines consist of key components:
Tower: Taller towers capture more wind energy.
Blades: Spin as the wind flows past, turning the shaft.
Nacelle: Houses the gearbox and generator, functioning as the turbine’s control hub.
Generator: Converts mechanical energy into electricity, with a small initial power trigger that initiates blade rotation.
