Abstract:

India, a rapidly industrializing nation with massive rates of population growth in all sectors due to immigration and demographic shifts, is usually vulnerable in terms of energy supply. Current trends in energy usage in India, were they to continue, would prove exorbitantly expensive, economically unviable in the long run, and environmentally unsound. The obvious question for India, now is “ how best to improve its energy independence and conservation measures, continue to meat the needs of its growing economy, and at the same time work towards long-term economical and environmental sustainability. While other alternative energy sources have been developed, industrial and domestic demands have out spaced internal production of energy. The high rates of growth in demand and the political vulnerability have let India to pursue publicly funded, governmentally initiated mandates to investigate energy conservation and production, largely through ministry of energy. Despite calls to conserve, however, rates of demand are sky rocketing, with large growth in industry, commerce and domestic usage. This paper deals with Eco-friendly concept of generating clean energy from the atmospheric wind by artificially manipulating its humidity and thermal gradients, which is relatively new concept. The comparison between other sources of energy is also given in the paper. The suitability of this power plant in India is also explored in this paper. And the sources of water for the site are also suggested.
