Part 3/10:
The generated electricity flows from the turbine, through conduction systems, passing transformers before entering the primary power grid network, thus supplying energy to millions.
Strategic Locations and Major Wind Farms
India's first significant wind farms emerged along its coastal regions of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, where wind velocities are notably high. Geographic features significantly influence wind farm placement; for instance, towns like Mundel and Aruvom in Tamil Nadu are bordered by the Western Ghat mountains. These mountain ranges disrupt ocean winds, causing them to accelerate and create robust breezes on the sheltered leeward sides, ideal for wind energy extraction.
