With the rising popularity of natural power sources, it won?t be a surprise if some people are interested in engaging any one of these as a business.

If you wish to start a wind farm business, then this article will be a good help to you in starting your own wind farm business.

Wind farms are starting to pick up attention from the general populace due to the dwindling supplies of fossil fuels and their rising prices, which in turn contribute to the rising power expenses. The use of fossil fuels to generate electrical power is also unfriendly to the environment because of the pollutant nature of fossil fuels.

There are two reasons that people may want to invest in wind power. First, to save up on power expenses by relying fully or partially on wind turbines to derive electricity; Second, to become more environmentally friendly. No matter what the reasons may be, you can take advantage by setting up a wind power business.

A Good Location for Wind Farm Business

The first thing that you have to ask yourself when planning to engage in a wind power business is, Do I have the right place to harness the power of the wind? Household wind power systems do not need to worry about this since their power requirements are minimal, but to be able to feed houses you would need to produce a lot of electricity. The best place for this is a location where there is plenty of breezes to turn your windmills, like near the shorelines as well as high places.

You Need Windmills

Windmills or wind turbines are the driving force behind wind power systems. It is through these turbines that the wind is used to harness electricity by using the kinetic energy generated by their turning motion. The motion is initiated when the wind is blowing the turbine panels. No matter if the wind blowing is a breeze or a gale, the motion will continue to harness kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy.

Wind turbines used in a wind farm can either be commercially made or made at your own home. Buying commercially means you can get high-quality turbines but would cost a lot to buy and install. Using homemade turbines, on the other hand, would require a bit of work by hand but are cheaper. Materials for homemade turbines can cost you only by the hundreds, while commercially made windmills may cost you thousands to acquire.

Power Lines

If you plan to invest in a wind power business, you would need to be like the big-time power distributors and install power lines from your windmills or power source to your clients. Fortunately, power distributors nowadays also buy power from independent power distributors whether they are using natural power sources or fuel fossils. As a windmill power generator, you are in line to become one of the power distributors feeding power to the local power company.

I have 19 acres and i get the craziest wind up in the hills of conesus ny, if i wanted to be and independent power distributor how many windmills could i put up and would the yield be worth the effort.
Naji Habchi said on April 3, 2009
dear I have a 100 acres and I have also the high wind year around, during winter I have some times 3 feet of snow. Is it still an option for me to work on being an independent power distributor, taking the snow as a negative factor? My other question, Do you take on project like that, or do you know of any here or overseas? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Naji Habchi

M. Harwell said on October 28, 2009
I feel like there is a great opportunity for profit in these early stages of windfarming but I am not sure where to start. I own 27 acres, free and clear, and we have really strong winds in central Texas, (Waco, Texas) if i wanted to be an independent power distributor? How many windmills could I put up and what would the yield be worth the effort? What is the cost per windmill and Infrastructure connection to the local hub? How much is the installation cost and shipping of a large scale turbine of about 225kw. Who would I contact for a partnership or possible lease to start a windmill business. I know there is a lot of interest in this area but I personally, don't know where to begin. I have not seen any windmill farms around me yet. Thanks, Curious in Waco, Texas

India - Mr. Ishtiaq Mujawar, All depends on the 1. exact location in Rajasthan where you have the land knowing which we can analyze the wind pattern, do you want install the machine as an individual or as a company. Incentives vary accordingly. The investment range you are looking at. You can contact me with the details at bhaaravi@gmail.com We can provide useful information to you
greenchoice said on October 1, 2010
Mr. Anil Bangera, Wind mills can be broadly classified as small wind turbines - used for powering small farm houses, irrigation etc which are in the range of 1kW to about 25 kW. and the large wind turbines also known as grid connected utility scale turbines - These turbines are installed in places where the wind potential is analysed, feasibility study is done and then the project is executed. The cost involved is high and the power generated is either sold to the state electricity board or used by the project owning company. To my knowledge except for Kudremukh ( this also comes under Chickmagalur district if I am correct ) there is not much potential in South Canara and Bhatkal districts. This is not to discourage you into venturing into the field. There are many more areas in Karnataka itself. If you are serious in venturing into this business, you can contact me at bhaaravi@gmail.com and we can discuss

to start windmill u required to contact windmill manufacturer like "suzlon" in india or abroad. they have prepared the data base of the hill station or the suitable locations in hill are where the wind mill can be erected & commissioned. they have an absolute data base of wind energy from meteorological department of states in india. some of the locations are reserved by the state govt for which u have to take permission from state government and that will be carried out by company itself. a single wind mill gives power of 1MW THE COST OF IT MOVES TO 1.25 crore to 1.5 crore. you have to make a MOU with energy ministry in the state to take part in distribution of power through their power grid. the approx cost of of purchase by state electricity board may be ranging between f Rs.3.5 to Rs.5 per Kw. satish lolge, Electrical ENGINEER, M.E( Electrical)VJTI,DBM, Consultant & Engineer. you can reach me through goldtouch@rediffmail.com or mob:9987050294
