“…Despite these barriers, some states Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra generate electricity above 4000 MW through wind energy. The reason behind this is the favourable wind speed in those locations and the introduction of policies by the state/local government like repowering policy, offshore wind energy policy, wind bidding scheme [60].…”

Clean and environment-friendly energy harvesting are of prime interest today as it is one of the key enablers in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as accelerates social progress and enhances living standards. India, the second-most populous nation with a population of 1.353 billion, is one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels in the world which is responsible for global warming. An everincreasing population is projected until 2050, and consequently, the energy demand in the upcoming decades will be co-accelerated by the rapid industrial growth. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with the support of National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog is working to achieve the Indian Government's target of attaining 175 GW through renewable energy resources. Many Indian states are currently increasing their renewable energy capacity in an objective to meet future energy demand. The review paper discusses in-depth about the three Indian states, namely Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, which pioneers the renewable energy production in India. The global energy scenario was discussed in detail with Indian contrast. Further, the barriers to the development of renewable energy generation and policies of the Indian government are discussed in detail to promote renewable energy generation throughout India as well as globally since the challenges are similar for other nations. This study analyzed various prospects of the country in renewable energy which has been done in a purpose to help the scholars, researchers, and policymakers of the nation, as it gives an insight into the present renewable energy scenario of the country. INDEX TERMS Renewable energy potential, global energy scenario, Energy policy in India, renewable energy barriers, prospects of renewables in India, renewable energy in India.

“…First, and most important, repowering will increase performance and electricity production of wind projects, as demonstrated under different circumstances by previous studies . This increase in performance is partly because the sites with the best wind conditions were often used in the 1980s or 1990s . Compared with a greenfield project, financing conditions tend to be better for repowering projects because the wind resource is known already and planning costs will be lower .…”

Technology effects in repowering wind turbines

This research investigates, analyses, and quantifies the technological effects of wind turbine repowering (ie, where old turbines are removed and new turbines are installed at the same or a very close location, including the enhanced performance in energy production). In these cases, it is assumed that both old and new turbines are subject to the same wind regime, other than because of technological elements, such as hub height, and thus it is possible to isolate the effects of new technology from the effect of changing local wind conditions. This research is based on the analysis of empirical data on repowering turbines in Denmark and Germany, and on historical production data available for the Danish component of the data set. Technological innovations are expected to enable new wind turbines to capture more energy at the repowering site, mostly through larger rotors and higher hub heights, and this is what this study has analysed. The results show that new turbines in repowering projects are twice as high, have three times the rotor diameter, nine times the swept area, six times the nominal power, and nine times as much electricity as the old turbines. However, the most significant improvement is probably the increase of capacity factor of 7.1% on a per-turbine basis, or 9.7% on a per-production basis.

“…Solid fuels, such as biomass, have similarities with coal, such as hydrocarbons consisting of lingocellulose and cellulose. However, the complexity involved in gasification and combustion is different during operations [100][101][102][103][104][105][106]. Tar formation and ash fusion are the main problems that arise [107][108][109][110][111].…”

Better systems can be produced from various utility outputs that are integrated to make choices. The emergence of polygeneration after triggers and cogeneration can be used as sustainable solutions, making it possible to utilize resources optimally, efficiently and environmentally friendly. Polygeneration can be conceptualized with several possibilities because, theoretically, the working system has been well received as contained in some literature. Various scientific works have reported that the input and output vary greatly. The results of experimental analyses and prototypes developed have also been widely investigated and reported. Optimization tools that are based on the function of each objective are also used as a step to develop polygeneration effectively and efficiently. Polygeneration assessment has multidimensional criteria and their definitions can be applied based on cases with specific objectives. The main objective of this article is to comprehensively review the various literature available to investigate the status of polygeneration for renewable and sustainable energy solutions in the future. Various possible logical and predictable future works on polygeneration are also discussed at the end of this article.
