Purpose
To provide assistance for developing technology and promoting applications of aero generators/ wind - solar hybrid systems
Probable duration
2013

Eligibility

  • The site should be free from the obstacles like tall trees, high buildings, electric transmission lines etc. within the radius of about 100 meters.
  • The site for installation of aero generators should, preferably, have annual average wind speed of about 15 kmph (4.17 m/ s) or above, at 20 m height. The wind speed at a particular site has to be obtained from C-WET or any other agency using actual wind data collected by C-WET or by using standard software programme like Wind Atlas etc. The user agency/ manufacturer has to provide latitude-longitude of the site and other parameters as needed for this purpose to the verifying agency.
  • Wind and solar resources should be preferably of complimentary nature.
  • The foundations should be designed and constructed by taking into consideration the soil bearing capacity of the site.
  • Generally aero generators should be avoided to be installed on the roof of a building and if it is installed on the roof of any building, the load bearing capacity, clearance/ obstruction from the nearby buildings, electrical wires etc. and other safety related aspects should be carefully examined by technical personnel.
