This work is the analysis of the energy generation of a 2 MW wind power project installed at Motha, District Amaravati, in the state of Maharashtra. The various availabilities of the wind power project were studied for the efficient energy production of the project. It was observed that 92.72 percent of the system was available for energy generation throughout the year. The energy generation data with the various shutdowns of the system was studied. The energy generation of the system was studied in terms of the plant load factor or the capacity factor. Capacity factor was observed to be 21.16 percent with the total energy generation unit being 3.73 MWh.Downloads
