Mitigating Economic and Environmental impact of Cyclones on Indian Wind Power Infrastructure

This study discusses the growing threat that cyclones pose to India’s coastline, with a focus on how they affect the wind-powered renewable energy industry. The India Meteorological Department has recorded 15 cyclones since 2020 causing economic loss of approx. Rs.3 lakh crore. So finding effective ways to lessen the effects on the environment and economic losses is imperative. This paper tries to presents a specialized intelligent locking system as a preventative safety measure to strengthen wind turbines against strong cyclonic wind speeds. When wind speeds during cyclones exceed a predetermined threshold, the suggested device senses the wind and will lock wind turbines automatically. By doing this, it promises to lessen monetary losses and downtime while providing an essential remedy for the disruptions that the renewable energy sector is currently experiencing. The overarching goal of this paper is to support renewable energy sources by strengthening the wind power infrastructure’s resilience. The suggested technology promotes the acceptance of renewable energy in the face of climate challenges by protecting against cyclonic disruptions and enhancing the industry’s overall sustainability. With its timely and significant solution to safeguard renewable energy investments and lessen the environmental impact of energy production, the study has high potential for acceptance in the scientific community.
