Write a short note on wind energy. |
|
Answer» The sun warms the different parts of earth differently. This creates low pressure at some places and high at others. Wind is formed due to this pressure difference. India makes use of wind to run the wind mills and produce energy. India has installed several wind mills at the sea coasts and in open spaces. Today, India has become fifth country in the world to produce energy through wind. Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala produce wind energy. In Gujarat, wind energy is produced through wind farms at Lambha village near Jamnagar and at the sea coast near Mahdvi in Kachchh. Electricity is generated at the windmills located at Devbhumi Dwarka, Jamnagar, Rajkot and Porbandar. |
