Abstract

The renewable energy sources like wind energy takes an important role to achieve sustainable goal. The wind energy is freely available pollution-free source by which electricity can be produced by the help of wind turbine. Small wind is available in Kota of speed 3m/s to 5 m/s for whole year. So small windmill which can be operated on the small and medium wind can be installed in Kota along with the Chambal River in plain areas and nearby hills.

This study focuses on the design and simulation of a 1 kW grid-connected wind energy power plant for a Department of Renewable Energy building in Kota, India. The project aims to harness wind energy as a sustainable source of power to meet the energy demands of the building. By integrating a small-scale wind turbine with the existing grid infrastructure, this system ensures both renewable energy generation and reliability through grid support. The wind energy potential of the Kota region is analyzed, and the system is designed based on local wind speed patterns. The design includes key components such as the wind turbine, power electronics for grid interfacing, and battery storage for energy stability. Simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate the system’s performance in terms of energy output, efficiency, and grid compatibility. The study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing small-scale wind energy systems in urban institutional buildings and highlights the potential of renewable energy integration in India's energy mix.
