IntroductionWind is the movement of airacross the surface of the Earth,from areas of high pressure toareas of low pressure.
Wind power is theconversion of windenergy into a useful form ofenergy, such as using: windturbines to makeelectricity, windmills formechanical power, wind
pumps for waterpumping or drainage, orsails to propel ships.

ContdWind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is
plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean,produces no greenhouse gas emissions duringoperation and uses little land.
The total amount of economically extractable poweravailable from the wind is considerably more than
present human power use from all sources.

HistoryThe first practical windmills were inuse in Iran at least by the 9th century
The use of windmills became
widespread use across the Middle East
and Central Asia, and later spread toChina and India.
In July 1887, a Scottish academic,
Professor James Blith, built a cloth-
sailed wind turbine in his cottage in
Marykirk and used the electricity itproduced to power the lights in his
cottage.

Contd By the mid-1920s, 1 to 3-kilowatt wind generators were
developed.
In 1956 Johannes Juul, a former student of la Cour, built a200 kW, three-bladed turbine at Gedser in Denmark,
which influenced the design of many later turbines.
The NASA wind turbine project built thirteen
experimental turbines which paved the way for muchof the technology

How is wind power produced?
Wind turbines harness the wind to generate electricity.Wind turns the turbine blades, which spin a shaft, whichconnects to the generator and makes electricity. A local
transformer is then used to step up the electrical voltage, sothat the electricity can then be sent through transmissionand distribution lines to homes, businesses and otherusers.
Wind turbines can also be used to generate mechanicalpower for specific tasks such as grinding grain or pumping
water. On the Canadian Prairies, for example, there areseveral thousand wind turbines that pump water.

Basic components of wind
turbinesElectricity-producing wind turbines have four basic
components:
a rotor consisting of two or three blades attached to a hub a generator that produces electricity in the form of
alternating current
a control and protection system that optimizes
performance and keeps the machinery operating within
safe limits
a tower that raises the rotor off the ground.

Energy in Nepal
The energy resource base of Nepal consists of a
combination of traditional (fuel wood, agriculture residue
and animal dung) and other sources such as hydropower,
solar and wind.
The imported of fossil fuel especially petroleum products
is also raising rapidly (>15% per annum).
The use of petroleum fuel for Nepal proves to be veryexpensive and foreign dependent for the country as its
40% of the national foreign currency earning is spent on
the import of the same.

Contd Electricity consumption grew at an average annual growth
rate of about 12% during last two decade.
The main source of the electricity comes from thehydropower with present installed capacity of about610
MW and providing electricity to only about 9% of the
population of the entire country and less than 3% of therural population has this opportunity.

Contd
In 1989, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), installed and
operated two 10kW wind turbine generators (WTG) inKagbeni of Mustang ( Supported by DANIDA)
From1990-95,Krishna Grill and Engineering
Works(KGEW) fabricated and installed 3 wind pumps in
the eastern region of Nepal. In 2001 WECS has established five anemometer stations
to assess the Wind energy potential in Nepal.

Effort in Mustang The first systematic attempt to utilize wind energy for
rural electrification
Two 10 kW wind turbine generators ordered fromCresswell Engineering (UK) were installed in Kagbeni in
December 1989. The total cost of the project was N.
Rupees 6.8 million (approx US $150,000) in 1989.
The estimated energy production was 12,000 kW per yeargenerating revenue of NRs. 40,000. The expected annual
operation and maintenance coat was NRs.200,000
It was a complete failure.

Causes of failure in Mustang The investigation in the Mustang fiasco was undertaken by
NEA to ascertain the reasons for the failure.
It is reported that though the average wind speed in Kagbeni is
about 9.2 m/s, number of hours with high wind speed issignificant, wind turbulence due to the proximity of mountainswas not taken into consideration during the design.
When Cresswell Engineering arrived for the installation, theyrealized that the wind was stronger than the expected and they
cut 0.5 m of each blade, which may have resulted inunbalanced system.
Furthermore, yaw brakes of the wind turbine generators werevery weak and caused significant stress on the system.

CONTD The potential survey done by Dangrid in 1992 with UNDP
funding shows that 200MW of wind power can be produced inthe 12-km corridor from Kagbeni to Chusang alone. It is
estimated that 500 GWh electricity can be generated annually.
Institutional Status
Government Policy
Overall government policy on renewable energy technologies
also mentions wind energy. In the Eight Plan the government
had allocated NRs. 30 million for the development of the windenergy in Nepal, including the preparation of Wind Energy
Master Plan. However, the Master Plan has failed to
materialize so far.

CONTDHuman Resource DevelopmentThere are no formally trained professionals and technical
manpower in the country and there are also no
manufacturers yet. No formal education is being provided
by any institutions in Nepal on wind energy

Environmental Issues
Modern wind energy converters (WEC) can generate
energy required for providing it within three months and
in twenty years of operation it can generate up to eighty
times more energy than required for its production.
A 600kW WEC can displace 1200 tons of carbon dioxide
annually.
However, if not properly planned and installed windpower plants can lead to noise pollution, radio
interference, land-use conflicts, interference in the way of
birds, and spoil the aesthetics.

Barriers in development of
wind Energy in Nepal Past failures have negative effects on the development of
wind energy in Nepal.
In all previous attempts to harness wind energy in the
country, very little efforts had been made to study the
characteristics of the wind in the specific areas.
Lack of adequate information on wind characteristics is
the primary reason for the past failures. Lack of appropriate institutions to study wind, design and
implement wind power projects, provide maintenance
services, information, etc. were also some of the reasons
for failure.

Future Strategy and
Recommendations Technical
Installation of micro (100 Watts) Wind EnergyConverters in remote areas to power battery chargingstations for lighting.
Installation of small wind and hybrid systems (Wind-PV, Wind-Diesel. Wind- Gasifier, etc.) in the Terai and
valleys for pumping water for irrigation drinkingpurposes.
Installation of large Wind Energy Converters forsupplying electricity to the grid.

CONTDResearch and Development
The research should focus on innovations on preparationof wind database and analysis, demonstration schemes,fabrication of low-tech items, use of cost effectivetechnologies .
Wind Data Collection and analysis
For technical and financial viability of wind power stationthe first and the foremost requirement is the detailed wind
characteristics of the station site. Since Nepal does nothave much information on wind speed in different parts ofthe country priority should be given to collection andanalysis of wind data before large-scale plants are
installed.

CONTD Entrepreneurship development
Private sector workshops should be encouraged to
fabricate as much of the components as possible within
the country.
Local communities and individual entrepreneurs should be
supported in smooth operation and management of the
power plants.
Legal ArrangementLegal provision regarding occupation of public land and
impact due to noise be made so that entrepreneurs can
work freely.

CONTD Human Resource Development
Local manpower for collection and analysis of winddata, design, equipment selection, fabrication ofcomponents, installation, after sales services,operation, maintenance and management of wind
plants need to be trained.
Subsidy
Subsidy should be provided for the total cost includingboth electrical and mechanical equipment, batterycharging station, tower and foundation works andtransportation.

Conclusion Wind energy can be one of the most efficient, environment
friendly and renewable energy for the context of Nepal. Thenature of wind energy available in Nepal suggest that thedetail site-specific measurement of hourly wind speedis required for designing and evaluating the performance of
wind energy electricity generation system. However, the wind energy utilization for pumping water
may not require sophisticated wind speed database.
Also demonstration of small-scale wind energy systems
may be carried out with the active participation of localcommunities. There may be a possibility of utilizing windenergy to develop the hybrid system with other renewableenergy technologies, so that optimum use of differentrenewable energy resources can be made.
