La domanda di energia, e in particolare la domanda di elettricit in India cresciuta ad un ritmo molto rapido nell'ultimo decennio. Attualmente, il settore dell'elettricit caratterizzato da carenze croniche di energia e da una scarsa qualit dell'energia. Con una domanda che supera l'offerta, gravi picchi e carenze di energia continuano a tormentare il settore. Mentre il governo ha aperto il settore della produzione di energia agli investimenti privati nel 1991, gli State Electricity Boards (SEBs) continuano ad essere le principali agenzie responsabili della generazione e della fornitura di energia elettrica in India oggi. Il problema elementare affrontato dal settore dell'energia la cattiva condizione finanziaria di questi State Electricity Boards. Ci ha portato a investimenti inadeguati in capacit di generazione aggiuntiva, che probabilmente esacerberanno ulteriormente il divario esistente tra l'offerta e la domanda di energia. Chiaramente, c' un grande ruolo e potenziale per i programmi di gestione della domanda (DSM) in India.

Actuellement, le secteur de l' lectricit est caract ris par des p nuries chroniques et une mauvaise qualit de l' nergie. La demande tant sup rieure l'offre, de graves p nuries de pointe et d' nergie continuent d'affliger le secteur. Bien que le gouvernement ait ouvert le secteur de la production d' lectricit aux investissements priv s en 1991, les State Electricity Boards (SEB) restent aujourd'hui les principales agences responsables de la production et de la fourniture d' lectricit en Inde. Le probl me l mentaire auquel est confront le secteur de l' lectricit est la mauvaise situation financi re de ces State Electricity Boards. Il en r sulte des investissements insuffisants dans des capacit s de production suppl mentaires, ce qui risque d'aggraver encore l' cart existant entre l'offre et la demande d' lectricit . Il est clair que les programmes de gestion de la demande (DSM) ont un r le et un potentiel importants en Inde.

Die Energienachfrage und insbesondere die Stromnachfrage in Indien ist in den letzten zehn Jahren sehr schnell gewachsen. Derzeit ist der Stromsektor durch chronische Stromknappheit und schlechte Stromqualit t gekennzeichnet. Da die Nachfrage das Angebot bersteigt, wird der Sektor nach wie vor von schwerwiegenden Spitzenlasten und Energieengp ssen geplagt. W hrend die Regierung den Stromerzeugungssektor 1991 f r private Investitionen ffnete, sind die State Electricity Boards (SEBs) auch heute noch die Hauptverantwortlichen f r die Erzeugung und Lieferung von Strom in Indien. Das elementare Problem, mit dem der Stromsektor konfrontiert ist, sind die schlechten finanziellen Bedingungen dieser State Electricity Boards. Dies hat zu unzureichenden Investitionen in zus tzliche Erzeugungskapazit ten gef hrt, was die bestehende Kluft zwischen Stromangebot und -nachfrage weiter versch rfen d rfte. Offensichtlich gibt es eine gro e Rolle und ein gro es Potenzial f r Demand Side Management (DSM) Programme in Indien.

Energy demand, and in particular electricity demand in India has been growing at a very rapid rate over the last decade. Currently, the electricity sector is characterized by chronic power shortages and poor power quality. With demand exceeding supply, severe peak and energy shortages continue to plague the sector. While the government opened up the power generation sector to private investments in 1991, the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) continue to be the main agencies responsible for the generation and supply of electricity in India today. The elementary problem being faced by the power sector is the poor financial conditions of these State Electricity Boards. This has resulted in inadequate investment in additional generation capacity, which is likely to further exacerbate the existing gap between power supply and demand. Clearly, there is a large role and potential for Demand Side Management (DSM) programmes in India.

This monograph addresses the needs of readers interested in wind energy converters. The authors achieve to strike a balance between a concise presentation of the material and a detailed book for experts in the field. The book covers aspects such as design and technical challenges of wind converters, but also policy issues as well as life cycle assessment considerations. In the past few decades, growth in the wind energy sector has been most phenomenal among all renewable energy resources. In this context, it is nearly universally agreed that wind energy can definitely play an important part in ensuring a sustainable future.The topic is highly interdisciplinary and requires an accessible format for non-experts. Hence, this compact version is suitable for many students and practitioners who intend to read concisely on wind energy.
