Wind Energy is one of the most
economical and exploitable renewable source of energy which can be
harnessed for generation of power.
HAREDA is implementing a
programme on assessment of the wind energy potential of the State
with the financial assistance of the MNES/GOI under its nation-wide
Wind Resource Assessment Programme.
Wind Monitoring Stations at
potential areas with 50 m mast equipped with automatic data loggers
are set up to record
the wind characteristics like speed, direction etc.
The cost of one such a Wind
Monitoring Station is Rs. 8.00 lakh and is shared between the
MNES,GoI and the State in 80:20 ratio. A wind monitoring station has
been set up at Village-Silkhoh, Tehsil-Nuh, Distt. Gurgaon with the
financial assistance of the MNES/GOI and the State Govt.
The wind velocities at morni hills(Panchkula) and abhaypur(Sohana-Gurgaun) have been reputed to be 5.45 mph to 13.08 mph at 20 meters hight.The annual average wind velocities at silkhah(Gargaun/Mewat)at 50 m. mast hight has been recorded to be 5.2m/s.Presently two more wind monitoring stations are being set up at Moshota(Narnaul) and Bahlon(Panchkula).
