Conceptual Model of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Fossil fuels are depleting at very fast rate and will have shortages in near future. Also prices of fuels increases day by day, demands for renewable energy sources increases for electrical power generation. Wind energy is available in nature in free of cost and in abundant form is excellent  option for generation of electric power through wind turbine technology. Wind turbine is machine used to convert kinetic energy of wind to electrical energy. This paper explains basically the renewable energy status in India and scope of small scale vertical axis wind turbine for home application for power generation.
