Abstract
Changing climate and increasing pollution due to fossil fuel burning directs the world to use renewable energy sources. Wind energy is one of the ways, for power generation, and developing countries like India are continually improving its wind energy generation. However, the existing Indian wind energy sector has not explored the wind energy potential of eastern states. The present study analyses the wind energy potential of state Odisha. The study incorporates the in-situ and reanalysis data (ERA-Interim) for the 30 districts of Odisha state to analyse wind power density. The study considered the impact of the tropical cyclone on the districts of Odisha and divided safe and risky zones for setting up the wind farms. By combining the two analyses, the study projects the potential sites for the wind energy establishments in the state for wind energy establishments in Odisha.
