Abstract
Uttarakhand, a northern state of India, has a total area of 53,483 km2 of which 86% are hilly region and 65% are covered by forest. Present work aims Wind power potential assessment of different parts of Uttarakhand. Wind speed pattern, Weibull distribution is used to analyze the wind potential of different locations having different geographical conditions. Power produce by wind turbine is calculated for these locations. The average wind speed (Mean) observed is 5–6 m/s. in these locations. Wind speed observed after observation is enough for wind power production.
