INTRODUCTION
Wind energy is prominent among renewable energy sources, which is clean, green and has huge
potential for fighting against environmental issues. Indian Wind installation is growing steadily and
stands fourth in the world with 28,700 MW, which is 9% of the Indian energy installed capacity.
The global market for small wind turbines (SWTs) has been on the upswing over the last two to three
years. This is driven by rapidly growing energy demand, higher fossil fuel prices and improved SWT
technology, which can be deployed for a diverse pool of applications, both in 'grid-tied' and 'stand-
alone' modes. The recorded small wind capacity installed worldwide has reached 995 MW by end of
2014 and China contributes 41%, USA 30% and UK 15%. Based on the world distribution of turbine
manufacturers, the production of small wind remains concentrated in few world regions in China, in
North America and in several European countries. Developing countries continue to play a minor role
in small wind manufacturing.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
With the increasing shortfall in power supply and
energy across the country, India could benefit
significantly from exploiting the potential of
micro-generation technologies that can meet
energy needs under the distributed generation
mode, so as to provide long-term solutions. A
small annual market for such systems (~ 300 -
400 kW) currently exists in India; the capital
subsidy programme of the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE) largely drives it.
Small Wind Turbine system is useful for Off-grid
/ Mini-grid / Micro-grid / distributed renewable
energy based electricity generation in rural areas.
Though Small Wind Energy and Hybrid Systems
Programme has been in place in India by MNRE,
Government of India, since 1994, it was not
picked up as expected due to lack of trained
manpower in the small wind turbine sector when
compared to large wind turbine sector. The other
issues like non availability of local mechanics /
skilled manpower for operation & maintenance
of small wind turbines after installation are the
main reasons which have made this small wind
turbine sector very weak.
Large wind turbine sector is already matured and

programmes on wind turbine technology to
national and international participations since
2 0 0 4 . T h r o u g h i t s t r a i n i n g , a r o u n d
480 international participants from 78 countries
and more than 1000 participants across India
participated and got benefitted.
Deficit of skilled human resource has been one
of the main barriers to hinder the growth of small
wind turbine in India. It is therefore, creating the
skilled human resources through conducting
training programme specially on small wind
turbine is the need of the hour.
National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE)
having vast experience and its pre-eminent
position, proposes to organize capacity building
programmes on small wind turbine to promote
and popularize the technology towards achieving
maximum number of installation of distributed
power system target of Government of India.
The proposed training programme will definitely
facilitate the growth of small wind turbines in
rural and low windy areas of India, which also
creates employment opportunity for rural youth.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the training course is to build the
capacity of participants on small wind energy
technology and practically train them on how to
design a small wind turbine. In addition to
knowledge transfer, special skills will be taught to
the participants on O & M and practical training
will be given on installation and commissioning
of small wind turbine.
TARGET PARTICIPANTS
The proposed training programme will be very
much useful for Engineers, Diploma, ITI holders
and also for rural mechanics who will be locally
available for the installation and operation &
maintenance activities of the small wind turbine
systems.
THE PROGRAMME
The course durat ion is ten days f romth th
27 February to 8 March 2017 encompassing
presentations, lectures with case studies, success
stories and exercises. The training course timing
will be from 09.00 am to 06.00 pm.
VENUE
The venue for the course would be the National
Institute of Wind Energy, Chennai.
METHODOLOGY & TRAINING COURSE
CONTENT
The proposed training course is intended to cover
a wide variety of key topics such as
Introduction to Small Wind Turbine &
Hybrid Systems
Design, Installation & Commissioning of
Small Wind Turbine
O & M aspects of Small Wind Turbine
Government policies and supportive schemes
In addition to above classroom lectures, practical
training will be given on Design, Construction
and Maintenance of Small Wind Turbine.
Efforts will be made to design and manufacture
small wind turbine system by participants
themselves.
RESOURCE PERSONS
The resource persons for the training course
would be scientists / engineers of NIWE, Small
Wind Turbine Manufacturers, Experts and
Engineers, who have contributed significantly for
the development of small wind turbine
technology. The design, construction and
maintenance of small wind turbine part will be
done by the Engineers of Minvayu, Auroville,
Tamil Nadu near Pondicherry, who are already
engaged in design, construction, supply and
providing training for the rural mechanics to
build, install and maintain low cost wind turbines
with local materials.
OUTCOME OF THE PROGRAMME
The training will be useful to build the capacity of
participants who are Engineers, Diploma and
ITI holders which will ease the large number of
installation of small wind turbine systems. As
this training targets rural participants, the locally
trained mechanics will always be readily
available for operation and maintenance of the
system and also for immediate repair activities to
ensure continuous power generation.
This is a good opportunity for the rural engineers,
diploma and ITI holders to increase their self-
reliance. After attending the training the
participants will be able to design, construct their
own turbines, using locally available materials
and run their own business serving the villages in
their area.
REGISTRATION
This is a free residential Training course and there is no course fee. The entire cost (including course kit,
accomodation and food) of Training Course is funded by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
(MNRE). The enclosed Registration Form lled in all respects may be sent to NIWE on or before
24/02/2017. Due to limited number of seats (25 seats), the acceptance of nominations will be on
“First-come, First Served” basis.
