ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
I take this opportunity to express my deep sense of gratitude to our respected
sir who is always a source of inspiration for us. He motivates us &
provides us with his able guidance.

I spent lot of time collecting & analyzing information about given topic. I had
fruitful discussions with my friends that have helped me a lot in giving the
final shape to this project.

I am extremely grateful to my parents who have contributed in numerous

ways in development of this project

INTRODUCTION OF WIND ENERGY FARM PROJECT

wind energy is energy derived from the wind. By using wind turbines we are able to harness the
power of the wind and convert it into electricity for use in homes, schools, businesses and any
other establishments that require electricity. Originally it was thought inconceivable that we
would be able to use wind turbines for anything other than milling flour but this theory has been
proven to be very wrong. Our search for renewable sources of energy has led us to consider and
develop wind power, solar power and even hydropower as major sources of energy.

How does a wind turbine work?

Wind energy works similarly to a dynamo on your bike? Similarly to the dynamo a wind turbine
is rotated by the wind, exactly the same principles as a wind turbine but instead of using our legs
to power the pedals, a wind turbine uses wind to turn the blades. Put another way, a wind turbine
works the opposite way to a fan. Where a fan would use electricity to turn the blades a win
turbine does the opposite and uses the rotating blades to create electricity.

There are two types of wind turbine that are regularly used to create energy on a large scale, and
both work on the same basic principles. As the wind travels into and through the blades, they
rotate and turn a shaft. In turn this shaft connects to a generator (like a dynamo) that will create
the electricity. A two-blade turbine faces away from the wind and a three-blade turbine faces into
the wind. Typically, a large number of turbines are combined to create wind farms, capable of
powering large numbers of buildings, but there are smaller single turbines available that you can
place in your garden and use to power certain aspects of your house.

Wind turbines at home.

Don't kid yourself about this, it is highly unlikely that even with modern turbines you could
power your entire house with less than a dozen small wind turbines and without a grid tie
system you will still have times of the year when you simply create the power you need
because there's no wind. It does happen and the best way around this is not to rely solely
on wind turbines to power your house. If you have the land, get a couple of turbines and
combine the power from this with solar roof panels. As a general rule if one method isn't
providing power the other probably will; by having both systems you won't find yourself sat
in the dark with no heating and no hot water and no way to cook your food. Solar is good
for summer days and your turbines will typically produce more power during the winter
months. The technology surrounding wind turbines is improving with every passing month
so, you never know, one day it may become viable to put up two or three small turbines
and be able to unplug yourself from the grid.

Title of the project activity
Title: Nagda Hills Wind Energy Project
(India)
Version: Ver 02;

Date of completion of the Draft Monitoring Report: March 10, 2006

General description of the project

The project activity uses renewable wind power to generate electrical energy. The
capacity of the project is 6.25 MW (5 X 1.25 MW) and it introduces large 1.25 MW
Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) technology in the State of Madhya Pradesh. The
wind energy technology and equipment supplier is Suzlon Energy Limited, the largest
wind energy systems developer in India. The WTGs will be operated and maintained

by Suzlon Wind Farm Services Pvt Ltd, a group company of Suzlon Energy Limited.

Wind Energy projects are environmentally positive, there are no emissions of

Greenhouse Gases, and are completely automated in operations. Because the wind
energy turbines run at a height, these allow the ground to be used for plantations and
other usages.

The project classifies as Small Scale as per CDM Guidelines (Renewable energy
project activity with a capacity < 15 MW).

The project is being developed by a consortium of 5 private sector companies;

primarily as a pilot for future investments if the project proves successful and various
regulatory and sectoral policy hurdles are overcome. The project conceptualizes
wheeling of electricity using state grid to the investing companies for their internal
use.

The project activity is promoted by a consortium of five companies who owns 1 wind
mill each in the project activity.
¨ Madhya Pradesh Glychem Industries Ltd (MPGIL)
¨ General Foods Ltd (GFL)
¨ Rajratan Global Wire Ltd (RGW)
¨ Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd (RSIL)
♦ Itarsi Oils & Flours Ltd (IOFL)

Emergent Ventures India Pvt Ltd (EVI) is project advisor for the CDM project.
CERs

will be shared between these parties based on a separate agreement between

them.

Technical description of the project

Location of the project activity

The project is in Village Phalsodi, Nagda Hills, and District- Dewas. The main city
near the site is Indore. The project site is located at a distance of 35 KM on the
Mumbai Agra Highway. Nearest Electric Feeder is Dewas Industrial Feeder

Technology employed by the project activity

There are total 5 WTGs. The WTGs used are Suzlon S-66 pitch type generators. The
capacity of each generator is 1.250 MW. The hub height of generators is 74 Meters.
Suzlon Windfarm Services Pvt. Ltd. does the Operation and Maintenance (O & M) of the WTGs.

Monitoring methodology and plan:

The project is a renewable energy project generating electricity (Type ID) – the
monitoring methodology and baseline are selected here as suggested in the
document
‘Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM project activities’

In keeping with the Monitoring Methodology, the following parameters are to be

monitored in the specific project situation:
• Electricity supplied to the state grid
Data being collected in order to monitor the GHG reduction is given in the
Table below:

Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA

Environmental Impact

There are no negative environmental impacts from the project activity.

Leakages
No anthropogenic greenhouse gases by sources outside the project boundary that are
significant, measurable and attributable to the project activity are identified. Hence,
no leakage is considered from the project activity. In addition, project proponents
confirm that the renewable energy technology is not equipment transferred from
another activity. Hence, no leakage calculation is required

Baseline Emissions

“The baseline is the kWh produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by
anemission coefficient (measured in kg CO2equ/kWh) calculated in a transparent
and conservative manner as: The weighted average emissions (in kg
CO2equ/kWh) ofthe current generation mix.
BE = EW X EF/1000

Where
BE- baseline emissions, tCO2e
EW- energy wheeled to the grid, KWh= _ GENi, i=1 to 5 (there are 5 wind
machines installed on Nagda Hills wind farm by the project participants, total
power wheeled to grid would be summation of power wheeled by each machine)
EF- grid emission factor, kg CO2/KWh
Energy Wheeled to the grid
Grid Emission Factor
Grid Selection: In the PDD project participant has used MP state grid. However as per
new guidelines, regional grid needs to be taken. Western Region Grid is selected for
grid emission factor calculations. The baseline is the kWh produced by the renewable
generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient (measured in kg CO2equ/kWh)
calculated in a transparent and conservative manner as
The weighted average emissions (in kg CO2equ/kWh) of the current generation mix

Grid Emission Factor: 0.8442 Kg CO2/KWh
