It is said..
Just as the 19th century belongedto coal and the 20th century to oil,the 21st century will belong to thes n the ind and energ fromsun, the wind, and energy fromwithin the earth.
American Wind Energy Association
Survey
A worldwide survey of wind energyindicated that harnessing one fifth ofthe earth’s available wind energy wouldgyprovide as much as seven timeselectricity the world currently uses.
Wind energy principle
The usage of wind energy is essentiallythe usage of the kinetic energycontained in an atmospheric volumeth t th h th t lthat passes through the rotor planeduring a certain time interval.
First wind turbine
The first electricity generating wind turbine,was a battery charging machine installed in July1887 by Scottish academic James Blyth to lighthis holiday home in Marykirk (Scotland).
Wind energy
Some months later, American inventor Charles F.Brush built the first automatically operated windturbine for electricity production in Cleveland,Ohio.
Wind farm
A wind farm is a group ofwind turbines in the samelocation used to produceelectric power. A largewind farm may consist ofseveral hundred windturbines, and cover anextended area ofhundreds of square km.
The land between the turbines may be used foragricultural or other purposes.
Wind farms - Types
Onshore Offshore
Onshore wind farms - Trends
Onshore wind energy represents more than10% of the electricity consumed in someregions of Denmark, Spain, Germany orS d It’ th th l t d dSweden. It’s growth over the last decadehas been spectacular. Most of thiselectricity is produced by large turbines.
Offshore wind farms - Trends
Trends point to a growing importance of theoffshore wind energy segment. Most of thehighest goals on renewable energy productionare based on offshore wind systems involvingare based on offshore wind systems, involvinglarge numbers of mega-turbines and largescale resources and investments.
Onshore versus offshore wind farms
Onshore wind farms are often subject torestrictions and objections: Objections based ontheir negative visual impact or noise, restrictionsassociated with obstructions (buildings,mountains, etc.), land-use disputes or limitedavailability of lands.availability of lands.
These reasons may explain part of the growingimportance of offshore systems, but part of theexplanation concerns genuine advantages of theoffshore turbines, namely higher and moreconstant wind speeds and, consequently, higherefficiencies.
Advantages of onshore wind farms
Cheaper foundations
Cheaper integration with the electrical-grid network
Cheaper installation and access duringCheaper installation and access duringthe construction phase
Cheaper and easier access foroperation and maintenance

Indian scenario
The Indian wind energy sector has an installedcapacity of 14,158 MW (as on March 2011)
In terms of wind power installed capacity, Indiais ranked 5th in the world.
Indian Wind Energy Association has estimatedthat with the current level of technology, theonshore potential for utilization of wind energyfor electricity generation is of the order of65,000 MW.
The unexploited resource availability has thepotential to sustain the growth of wind energysector in India in the years to come.

Wind resources
Before a wind energy facility can be constructed,developers need to determine the wind resourceof the site with a high degree of certainty.
The wind resource map of a region is a tool usedby many developers to identify prospectiveby many developers to identify prospectiveproject sites.
The wind map provides site-specific estimates ofwind speed and direction characteristics thatcan be used to predict the annual output of aproposed wind energy project.
Meteorological Masts and Towers
Installing meteorological towersand masts allows the developerrecord wind speed, wind direction,gusts, etc which can be used tocharacterize the long-term windresources at the site.
The masts and towers come in avariety of heights up to 100 m.
The cup anemometers and windvanes are installed at five or sixheights on the masts forcontinuous measurements.
Wind measurementsThe wind data is used to select the appropriateturbine for the site, optimize the turbine layout ofthe farm, and predict the energy production.
As turbines grow in height, mast instrumentation,erection and maintenance have becomeexpensive; prices increase with height.
At the same time, the discrepancies between themeasured wind at the rotor centre and theturbine performance have increased the need fordetermining the wind over the entire turbinerotor.

Block diagram of a typical transmit-frequency generator
The transmitter subsystem typically consists of threechannels to generate the three transmit frequencies. Eachchannel contains a suitable divide-by counter and a wave-shaping circuit. A frequency-selective switch along with anelectronic gate is employed for the transmission of therequired frequency. The gate is controlled by the timingsignal from the clock circuit.

Timing
• Sleep
• The Sleep function suspends the execution of the current thread for at least thespecified interval.
• To enter an alertable wait state is SleepEx function.• VOID Sleep( DWORD dwMilliseconds );• waveOutWrite()• The waveOutWrite function sends a data block to the given waveform-audio output
device.
• MMRESULT waveOutWrite( HWAVEOUT hwo, LPWAVEHDR pwh, UINT cbwh );
• Remarks• When the buffer is finished, the WHDR_DONE bit is set in the dwFlags member of
the WAVEHDR structure.• The buffer must be prepared with the waveOutPrepareHeader function before it is
passed to waveOutWrite. Unless the device is paused by calling the waveOutPausefunction, playback begins when the first data block is sent to the device.

Digitization of Audio Signal
• The electrical signal further boosted by an operationalamplifier and fed to the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
• On-board sound card acts as codec and it gives digitizedsignals to the application layer.
• On-board sound card offers various ranges of sampling rates,between 8 KHz – 192 KHz.
• To record the digitized samples one need to communicateith th d dwith the soundcard.
• To add the soundcard to the application layer, MicrosoftVisual C++ provides Window Application Interface (WINAPI)calls, and these calls are handled by the Windows operatingsystem at Kernel level of the PC.
• Extra advantage of the WINAPI calls is that we cansynchronize the various thread methods with the API onreturn events.

Sampling time and range gates
• The maximum height is defined by the time of the SODAR measurementbackscattered signals.
• To measure up to the height of 680 meters it will take 4.2 seconds of time.
• The SODAR measures the wind speeds at various heights. These heights are alsocalled the range gates.
• The maximum resolution that can be obtained for these range gates by twoformulas.

Implementation of FFT
• Total number of samples must be expressed in the form of N=2M
• The input sequence is shuffled through bit reversal
• The number of stages in the flow graph is given by M= log2N
• Each stage consists of N/2 butterflies
• The number of complex multiplication and additions are given as N/2 log2Nand N log2N respectively
• For every N-pint Fast Fourier Transform we’ll get N out put points.
• The result points also is in the combination of Real and Imaginary terms.Hence the power of the each frequency point can be calculated as sqrt (Re*Re + Im * Im)/sqrtPoints
• Here sqrtPoints is defined as sqrt (Points)
CPP code for FFT implementation

int step = 1;for (int level = 1; level <= _logPoints; level++){
int increm = step * 2;for (int j = 0; j < step; j++){
