Wind energy development in Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) is a pioneer among the State Electricity Boards in India in promoting renewable energy programmes. Tamil Nadu is blessed with conductive natural meteological and topographical settings for wind power generation. There are three passes namely 'Palghat Pass', 'Shengottah Pass' and 'Aralvoimozhi Pass' that are endowed with heavy wind flows during the Southwest monsoon.

Wind energy - Grid interconnection issues for sustainable development
Electricity generation from wind energy is characterised by significant daily and seasonal fluctuations, which is presently being forecasted with a limited certainty only. This gives rise to challenges for interconnection of wind energy system with the grid in regard to system safety security and reliability of electricity supply.

Climate Enters Debate Over Nuclear Power
After part of a cooling tower collapsed last August at Vermont's only nuclear power plant, the company that runs it blamed rotting wooden timbers that it had failed to inspect properly. The uproar that followed rekindled environmental groups' hopes of shutting down the aging plant. Workers last August examined the collapsed portion of a cooling tower at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. Entergy, the plant's operator, blamed rotting timbers for the collapse.

Wind Power Could Make Norway "Europe's Battery"
Norway could become "Europe's battery" by developing huge sea-based wind parks costing up to $44 billion by 2025, Norway's Oil and Energy Minister said on Monday. Norway's Energy Council, comprising business leaders and officials, said green exports could help the European Union reach a goal of getting 20 percent of its electricity by 2020 from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydro or wave power.

Queen Goes Green With World's Largest Wind Turbine
Britain's Queen Elizabeth is going green by investing in the largest wind turbine in the world, her property company the Crown Estate said on Wednesday. The Estate, which owns most of the seabed off Britain's shores, regularly leases out its land to wind farm projects but has never invested in the turbines. With a capacity of 7.5 megawatts, the Crown has gone for the biggest yet. "This is not something we've ever done before and I think it will raise quite a few eyebrows," Ben Barton, the company's offshore manager for wind farms said.

Quietly, Wind Farms Spread Footprint In US
At 265 feet tall, four gleaming white wind turbines tower over the tiny farm town of Rock Port, Missouri, like a landing of alien intruders. But despite their imposing presence and the stark contrast with the rolling pastures and corn fields, the turbines have received a warm welcome here. As Eric Chamberlain, who manages the wind farm for Wind Capital Group, eats lunch in a local restaurant, local people greet him with a "Hey Windy!" and many say they are happy to be using clean electricity.
