Abstract
Development of Wind Energy in India and a Stratagem for Analyzing Performance of Wind Farm Clusters
Highlights
On account of continuous industrial development clubbed with depletion of fossil fuels and emerging environmental consciousness, the demands for alternative energy resources have been increasing exponentially in the 21st century
This is accomplished by developing an index to evaluate the performance called “Cluster Index of Performance (CIOP)”.Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) under multicriteria framework is used as a tool to evaluate CIOP
The framework is prepared in a hierarchical structure, as the analysis is carried out using the multiplecriteria under AHP
Summary
On account of continuous industrial development clubbed with depletion of fossil fuels and emerging environmental consciousness, the demands for alternative energy resources have been increasing exponentially in the 21st century. With growing demand for energy, increased environmental pollution, and depleting energy sources, human society today faces multiple challenges of transition towards a sustainable development and the poverty eradication. The challenge for India today is rapid adoption of renewable energy sources to power growing economy at a price that consumers can afford and on a scale large enough to make a major dent in shortages. Today there are alternate options available in the form of solar and wind power technologies and renewable energy (RE) resources have become commercially available in the marketplace. This has added additional options for policymakers who are concerned with the technical, economic, and environmental characteristics of a future power system that keeps pace with economic growth.
