Research and Development
Wind
Ministry supports R & D projects in thrust areas
of wind energy sector including offshore wind energy, potential assessment,
forecasting and scheduling, material development, cost reduction technologies
etc, as per the Renewable Energy Research and Technology Development Programme.
Initially the R & D activities are undertaken by NIWE which is the
technical arm of the Ministry for wind energy technology related activities
with support from the Ministry. Under the R & D programme, division
sanctioned R & D projects to various institutions from the financial year
2014-15. The details of the R & D projects sanctioned from the
financial year 2014-15 onwards are given as under:
