Offshore wind energy - potential for India
This paper attempts to analyze energy demand scenario, especially that of almost unlimited wind energy and highlight vast potential of offshore wind energy for India in territorial water along its long coastline. Challenges to exploit this potential, financial viability of such offshore energy projects, social, environmental, and other related issues are discussed in Indian context to serve as a useful tool for policymakers to allocate resources for detailed studies for estimation and its ultimate utilization to add to growing pool of renewable energy.
Coastal processes along the Indian coastline
onstrated that the average stress drop is higher for intr aplate eart hquakes compared to inter -plate earthquakes. The stress drop has been estimated by se veral workers for the 1993 Latur (M 6.2), 1997 Jabalpur (M 5.8), 1969 Bhadrachalam (M 5.7), 1970 Broach (M 5.2) and Koyna earthquakes and is found to vary between 2 and 25 MPa (Figure 4). A maximum stress drop of 19 MPa obtained for the 14 March earthquake is comp arable to the results which have been obtained from an ea rlier study 17 . The stress drop for the Koyna–Warna earthquakes (magnitude 1.5–4.7) was estimated to be in the range 0.03 to 19 MPa, with the M 4.7 earthquake having the maximum stress drop of 19 MPa. In general, the Koyna–Warna region is cons picuous with higher stress drop in comparison to other source regions in the Peninsular shield. A probable e xplanation for the high stress drop is due to the presence of competent material within the source volume. Velocity tomography study 18 has revealed the presence of high velocity zone in the Koyna–Warna seismic source region and this high velocity was interpret ed in terms of competent material.
