PREAMBLE
MOUNTAIN WIND ENERGY
Climate change, increasing natural disasters, food and energy crises,
population growth, water scarcity and desertification, loss of biodiversity,
degradation of ecosystems, migration, and growth of cities – the country
is currently facing a multitude of challenges. Mountain regions and their
inhabitants are disproportionally affected, but also offer significant
opportunities for solutions. Mountain ecosystems play a critical role in
world development. Mountain systems are essential building blocks for
long-term sustainable global development, poverty alleviation and the
transition to a green economy. In a world heading towards water, food
and energy crisis, sustainable mountain development is a global priority.
Mountain communities need to be empowered and their livelihoods
improved, to enable them to take responsibility for the preservation of
natural resources and to fulfil their role as mountain stewards. In spite of
the obvious importance of mountain areas, sustainable mountain
development does not receive the attention and priority it deserves.
Investing in sustainable mountain development is a global priority for
addressing the current challenges. It reaches far beyond monetary terms
to embrace increased attention to and support in all aspects of mountain
ecology and society.
Mountainous and elevated areas around the world offer great wind
energy potential in demanding winter climates. Activities have been
conducted in a number of countries to master the difficulties that
atmospheric icing and low temperatures pose for wind technology. The
current wind capacity in cold climates worldwide is about 60 GW.
Increased experience, knowledge, and improvements in cold climate
technology have enabled the economics of wind projects to become
more competitive in relation to coastal and lowland wind projects. The
internationally accepted procedures for testing and evaluating wind
turbines or wind energy conversion systems encompass a variety of
aspects,however, although there is vast wind energy potential in cold
climates, little attention has been paid to the environmental impacts of
wind projects in these areas.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Energy is synonymous with social and economic prosperity of
civilizations. It is essential to our society to ensure our quality of life and
to underpin all other elements of our economy. To protect environment
and for sustainable development, the importance of renewable energy
sources cannot be overemphasized. Renewable energy technologies
offer the promise of clean, abundant energy gathered from self-renewing
resources. It is an established fact that renewable forms of energy will
play an increasingly important role in the future as they are cleaner,
easier to use and environmentally benign. Wind is an abundant energy
resource ultimately powered by the Sun. It is estimated that
approximately 3 % of the Sun's thermal energy is transformed into wind
energy. Recent studies show that current wind technology operating only
in Class 3 wind locations is capable of producing approximately 72
terrawatts of electricity. This is forty times the amount of electrical
power annually consumed worldwide and it is imperative to tap this
clean power source on a large scale.
CALL FOR PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS
The workhop will have planary sessions and invited talks to be
delivered by experts on various themes and contributory papers.
Contributing authors are invited to submit their original
contributions in the form of extended abstracts inEnglish. The
abstract shall be limited to about 1000 words or four A4 size
papers including figures. Tables and reference with text in Aerial
font of size 12 and line spacing of 1.5. The authors mailing address,
phone/fax number and email ID may be clearly indicated.
IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER
Extended abstracts

: 30 Oct 2013
Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE), a prominent DRDO lab
engaged in the Development of technologies for mitigation of
Cryospheric hazardsis working in inhospitable treacherous regions of
Himalayas and most of its field observatories are off-grid with diesel as
the only source of power. However the terrains are so unfriendly that
transporting diesel is very expensive and it also disturbs the ecological
balance of the hitherto hilly regions. Since wind is in abundance on the
ridges/ passes, it has become imperative to tap this renewable energy
that is clean, green and environment friendly.

ABOUT WORKSHOP
Efforts will be made to accommodate the participants at
DRDO guest houses in Chandigarh. However it will be based on first
come basis. Others participants will be accommodated in budget
hotels and charges will have to be paid by the participants directly.
Participants are requested to send the details as asked for.
ABOUT SASE
A National workshop is thus conceived, to serve as a platform for the
Researchers, Academia, Users, National agencies, Industry to come
together and draw a roadmap for sustainable energy solution in
Himalayas. The potential speakers are invited to present their original
work, case studies, modeling and experimental work as technical papers
under above. This way, we hope to achieve a road map/way forward for
tapping an important resource of energy in Himalyan region

PROBLEM DEFINITION
•Forecasting & Wind Energy Production
India's power generation capacity needs to be augmented to, support
the growing demands for electricity. India, which has predominantly
used fossil fuels to power its generators need to make a switch to clean
energy fuels. But renewable our sources form a miniscule portion
(26GW,12%) of India's overall installed power capacity (210GW). Most of
the energy thus tapped is from coastal areas and very little effort has
been made to tap the energy in the mountains though wind maps reflect
high potential in such areas. Energy system in the Himalayan regions is
complex due to the wide variations in the availability and demand of
energy sources. Mountain inhabitants are traditionally dependent on
bioenergy resources like fuel, wood, agro and animal residues for
meeting their energy requirements. This deteriorates the ecological
harmony and demands for the sustainable resource planning at regional
level. The spatial mapping of availability and demand of energy sources
would help in the integrated regional energy planning. Spatial wind
profiles based on high resolution data provide insights to the wind
regime that helps in identifying potential sites for wind prospecting.
