Industry profile
The wind power industry is the industry involved with the design, manufacture, construction,
and maintenance of wind turbines. Although the wind power industry is small compared to
those of the conventional power generation technologies (hydro, coal, natural gas, and
nuclear), it is growing at a much faster rate (25% per year, from 2002 to 2007)
The modern wind power industry began in 1979 with the serial production of wind turbines
by Danish manufacturers Kuriant, Vestas, Nordtank, and Bonus. Initially, most of these early
turbines were installed in western Denmark. California, USA experienced a wind power
boom from 1982 to 1986 when thousands of Danish and American wind turbines were
installed in massive arrays. India got involved in wind power in the mid-1980s as well, while
Germany and Spain gradually developed domestic wind power industries starting in the early
1990s.
The wind power industry is currently undergoing a period of rapid globalization and
consolidation, with much of the recent wind farm development occurring outside the older
established markets. Several large companies with market capitalizations greater than the
entire wind power industry itself (General Electric, Siemens, BP) are now making large
investments in wind power. To meet a global wind turbine supply shortage, start-up wind
turbine manufacturers are still appearing and ramping up the production of their new wind
turbine models as quickly as possible.
Wind turbine manufacturers design, test, manufacture, and assist with the operation and
maintenance of wind turbines. Important choices facing them include turbine design
(generator type, gearbox vs. gear-less, materials) and how much control to maintain over
component supplies (internal vs. external). They must be concerned with maintaining their
extensive fleets of operating turbines while at the same time developing newer and ever-
larger models. The largest wind turbine manufacturers are based in Denmark, Germany,
Spain, India, and USA.
Wind farm developers develop and sometimes own and operate wind farms. This involves
purchasing or leasing land, installing meteorological equipment to quantify the wind
resource, and securing transmission, power sales, turbine supply, construction, and financing
agreements. Some small wind farm developers, lacking the "muscle" and financing necessary
to secure major turbine supply contracts, will develop a project in order to "flip" it and sell to
larger developers such as wind power managing owners.
Wind farm construction companies construct and sometimes assist with the operation and
maintenance of wind farms.
Wind farm finance companies sell loans and other financial products to wind farm developers
and wind turbine manufacturers. Most of these companies are large banks with experience in
providing financing to other large industrial projects.
Wind power consulting companies offer consulting services to the wind power industry,
including wind turbine design and certification, technical Due Diligence (or acting as the
"Owner's engineer"), wind resource maps, wind resource assessments, wind power
forecasting, and wind turbine power performance testing. Most of these companies maintain
financial independence (no ownership stake) from wind farm projects in order to guarantee
unbiased service to their clients.
Wind power research organizations provide research and development to the wind power
industry. They are usually part of government agencies or universities and conduct research
on aspects of wind power that are currently cost-prohibitive for the private industry to invest
in.
Wind power managing owners are responsible for the operation and maintenance and
administration of wind farms which they develop or acquire. All or part of these
responsibilities may be subcontracted to third parties. Wind power managing owners, along
with other financing parties and equity partners, typically sell the electricity generated from
wind farms to public utilities under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) where
they receive a fixed price for the electricity.
As of 2010, Vestas (from Denmark) is the world's top wind turbine manufacturer in terms of
percentage of market volume, and Sinovel (from China) is in second place. Together Vestas
and Sinovel delivered 10,228 MW of capacity in 2010, and their market share was 25.9
percent. GE Energy (USA) was in third place, closely followed by another Chinese
supplier, Goldwind. German Enerconranks fifth in the world, and is followed by Indian-
based Suzlon at number six

Work flow model
•Suzlon has developed an end to end solution model which include from resourcemapping to
operations and maintenance services. That is which resources are requiredaccording to the
demand of the customers and the capacity of the wind mill as required.
•Then after it go for site identification that is which site would be more suitable to set upwind
farm where the level of air at what level is available and even less costly.
•And the next step is the land acquisitions where the company buys the land for setting upa
wind farm but generally at this level the customer generally do dealing regarding the
purchase of the land and for the payment of it.
•And after the site selection the company manufacture wind turbine generator and
relatedcomponents related to it and that to on the basis of the site where to locate the wind
farm.
•After manufacturing the components do the development over the site set upinfrastructure as
required and do the installation of WTG.
•And after setting up wind farm company do the operation and maintenance and after sales
services
•Current customers are TATA, DLF, BAJAJ Auto, ONGC etc.
