Abstract
The development of wind power in India began in the 1990s, and has significantly increased in the last few years.India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.As of 31 Jan 2013 the installed capacity of wind power in India was 18551.7 MW, mainly spread across Tamil Nadu (7134 MW), Gujarat (2,884 MW), &Maharashtra (2310.70 MW)whichare leading the top. All across the world, the demand for electricity from renewable energies is constantly growing. To meet this demand, wind farms must be as operable as conventional power plants and better integrated into the grid control mechanism. Our wind power plants should actively support the grid, fulfilling all necessary requirements and ensuring reliable energy supplies even during breakdowns. Wind power plants feed the grid with controlled reactive power. This allows for a constant voltage control, sustaining the line voltage. Even at temporary voltage dips the wind power plant remains connected to the grid and helps to keep it stable. If any frequency fluctuations occur the effective power of our wind turbines should automatically adjust according to the needs.
