Power generation using wind has been extensively utilised, with substantial capacity add-on worldwide, during recent decades. The wind power energy sector is growing, and has turned into a great source of renewable power production. In the past decades of the 21st century, the capacity of installed wind energy has almost doubled every three years. This review paper presents the crucial facets and advancement strategies that were approved and adopted by the Government of India for intensifying the country’s own power safety, by the appropriate use of existing power sources. From India’s viewpoint, wind energy is not only utilized for power production but also to provide power in a more economical way. The particulars of India’s total energy production, contributions of numerous renewable sources and their demand are also encompassed in this paper. After an exhaustive review of the literature, detailed facts have been identified about the present position of wind energy, with an emphasis on government achievements, targets, initiatives, and various strategic advances in the wind power sector. Wind power potential is discussed, which can assist renewable power companies to select efficient and productive locations. All analyses carried out in this paper will be incredibly valuable to future renewable energy investors and researchers. The current scenario of wind power production in India is also paralleled with that of other globally prominent countries.

To meet the expanding energy demand, all available energy sources must be utilized. Renewable energies are both eternal and natural, but their major downside is their inconsistency. Due to the rising costs of fossil fuels and the CO₂ they emit, hybrid renewable energy (HRE) sources have gained popularity as an alternative in remote and rural areas. To address this issue, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) can be developed by combining several energy sources. In order to build modern electrical grids that have advantages for the economy, environment, and society, the hybrid system is preferable. A summary of various optimization methods (modeling techniques) of an HRES is presented in this paper. This study offers an in-depth analysis of the best sizing, control methodologies, and energy management strategies, along with the incorporation of various renewable energy sources to form a hybrid system. Modern hybrid renewable energy system utilities rely more on an optimal design to reduce the cost function. Reviews of several mathematical models put out by various academicians are presented in this work. These models were created based on reliability analyses incorporating design factors, objective functions, and economics. The reader will get familiar with numerous system modelling optimization strategies after reading this study, and they will be able to compare different models based on their cost functions. Numerous modeling approaches and software simulation tools have been created to aid stakeholders in the planning, research, and development of HRES. The optimal use of renewable energy potential and the meticulous creation of applicable designs are closely tied to the full analysis of these undoubtedly complicated systems. In this field, as well, several optimization restrictions and objectives have been applied. Overall, the optimization, sizing, and control of HRES are covered in this paper with the energy management strategies.

In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based condition monitoring approach of a wind turbine using Simulink, FAST (fatigue, aerodynamics, structures and turbulence) and TurbSim is presented. The complete dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind turbine [i.e. wind turbine generator (WTG)] model is simulated in an amalgamated domain of Simulink, FAST and TurbSim under six distinct conditions, i.e. aerodynamic asymmetry, rotor‐furl imbalance, tail‐furl imbalance, blade imbalance, nacelle‐yaw imbalance and normal operating scenarios. The simulation results in time domain of the PMSG output stator current are decomposed into the intrinsic mode functions using EMD method then RapidMiner‐based principal component analysis method is used to select most relevant input variables. An ANN model is then proposed to differentiate the normal operating scenarios from five fault conditions. The analysed results proclaim the effectiveness of the proposed approach to identify the different imbalance faults in WTG. The presented work renders initial results that are helpful for online condition monitoring and health assessment of WTG.
