Question

Asia's largest wind farm using wind waves for generating power is at
(a)Kyota (Japan)
(b)Lamba (Gujrat)
(c) Kazakistan
(d)Pokhran (India)

Answer 1

Hint: This place is located on the west coast of India, sharing a boundary with Rajasthan and the Arabian sea. During the pilot stage of this plant for 3 months, It was able to produce 1500+ kWh successfully.

Complete answer:
The largest farm in Asia where wind waves are used for generating power is located at Lamba (Gujrat). Wind is a renewable source of energy. Lamba is a village in the Jamnagar district located in Gujrat.

Additional Information: -India has a wind power capacity of 37.669 GW, which makes India the fourth largest wind power capacity installed globally.
-Maneklal Sankalchand Thacker is an Indian power engineer who started a project with the Indian Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to develop the possibilities of converting wind power to electrical energy for the country
-Maneklal Sankalchand Thacker’s exploration of wind power, improving India's renewable energy sources began in December 1952.
So, the correct answer is ‘Lamba (Gujrat)’.

Note: -The Tamil Nadu Government initiated a separate government based agency, known as the Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency, after knowing the potential and need for an inexhaustible energy source, which made Tamil Nadu the largest wind power capacity which contributes around 29% of India's total wind power capacity.
-The initiations and support provided by the government of India reduced wind power costs in India rapidly to a record rate of ₹2.43 per kWh. This also increases the number of users and tempts them to shift to renewable energy from conventional sources.
-Lamba village belongs to the taluka of Kalyanpur which is 436 km from Gandhinagar, a major urban area of Gujarat.
