Effect of seasonal variation of windspeed on energy output

In India the cropping seasons are broadly classified as Kharif (July to October), Rabi (November to February) and Hot Season (March to June). In this paper an attempt is made to know the variation of windspeed and hence the energy output at 10 places based on IMD data (1958-63). This will enable the farmer to chalk out the cropping pattern to reap maximum benefits from the installed windmill.
