INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Globally observations point towards a changing climate, as temperatures are increasing, sea levels are rising, with a perceivable increase in severity and frequency of extreme events (IPCC 2007a; SREX, 2012) and the speed of the change is seemingly fast. This is leading to a complex situation, whereby all spheres of our existence are being impacted. Model projections, indicate a further escalation of the situation if greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources keep on rising unabated. It is not surprising, then, that solutions to adapt or mitigate the situation essentially is emerging from indigenous knowledge and state of the art technology and research in all disciplines and fields. Because of the speed at which change is happening due to global temperature rise, it is urgent that the vulnerability to climate change of countries still riding the development ladder is reduced and their capacity to adapt is increased and national adaptation plans are implemented. Future vulnerability depends not only on climate change but also on the type of development path that is pursued. Thus adaptation needs to be implemented in the context of national and global sustainable development efforts. The international community is identifying resources, tools, and approaches to support this effort. Adapting to climate change entails taking the right measures to reduce the negative effects of climate change (or exploit the positive ones) by making the appropriate adjustments and changes. There are many options and opportunities to adapt. These range from technological options such as increased sea defences or flood-proof houses on stilts, to behaviour change at the individual level, such as reducing water use in times of drought and using insecticide-sprayed mosquito nets. Other strategies include early warning systems for extreme events, better water management, improved risk management, various insurance options and biodiversity conservation. 1.2 THE NATIONAL CONTEXT India’s economy and 68.8percent(Census, 2011) of its population residing in rural areas are directly dependent on climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries etc. Since climate change is expected to impact natural and human systems adversely by inducing changes in these systems, India can be considered highly vulnerable, as the extent of exposure is very high compared to most countries in the world. Climate change is only likely to exacerbate India’s already high physical exposure to climate-related disasters as 65 percent of India is drought prone, 12 percent

  • A Multi Criteria Decision Making Approach for the Selection of Optimum Location for Wind Power Project in India
    EAI Endorsed Transactions on Energy Web Research Article A Multi Criteria Decision Making Approach for the Selection of Optimum Location for Wind Power Project in India V. Manoj1,*, V. Sai Sravani2 and A. Swathi3 1Asst. Professor, Power Engineering Department, GMRIT, India 2UG Scholar, Power Engineering Department, GMRIT, India 3PG Scholar, Mechanical Engineering Department, GMRIT, India Abstract This study tried to find out the selection of site for the wind turbine in India. We have chosen six wind power projects which are located different places in India. Wind power, Hub height, Distance, Cost, CO2, Wind speed and Blade height are the seven criteria had taken for the selection of best location. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is integrated with technique for order reference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to meet the objective of this study. Firstly, the weights of each criterion are to determine using AHP. These weights will be used in TOPSIS method to select the best project. A case study is performed to exhibit the application of the methods was conducted to evaluate six types of wind power projects. The AHP- TOPSIS result showed that the Muppandal wind farm, Kanyakumari is the best wind power project among the six projects.

The survey investigated and prioritized the communities’ needs for basic services such as water,education and health care. The survey was a co-operative effort ofthe Tamil Nadu Department ofFisheries, the Coastal Peace and DevelopmentCommittee of the Kottar Diocese, and the Bay ofBengal Programme (FAO/UN). The survey was carried out during the first half of 1998 by two local enumerators in each village selected by the Coastal Peace and Development Committee. All the enumerators were together imparted training for a day by the BOBP on the conduct of interviews, and given questionnaires. The enumerators conducted group interviews with fisherfolk of the 39 communities, both men and women, about the status of local services. This document details the findings of the survey and the comments by the respondents. It is hoped that these are founduseful by various governmentagencies and the church in improving the status of basic services and infrastructure in coastal areas of Kanniyakumari district. The survey, and this report of the survey, are part of the BOBP’s effort in co-operation with the TamilNadu Department of Fisheries to improve fisheries management in Kanniyakumari district.

  • Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the Emphasis on Generation Complementarity
    Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the emphasis on generation complementarity F. A. Qamar Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the emphasis on generation complementarity by Fadhil Ahmad Qamar to obtain the degree of Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Technology at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Tuesday August 18, 2020 at 13.00 PM. Student number: 4741986 Project duration: October 17, 2019 – August 18, 2020 Thesis committee: Prof. dr. D. A. von Terzi, TU Delft, chairperson Dr. ir. M. L. Zaayer, TU Delft, First supervisor Dr. ir. J. Quist, TU Delft, Second supervisor An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Summary Reason for this research The global issue on global warming and climate change are one of the motivations that led nations to reform their means of generating power and meeting the electricity demand. Decarbonisation of the power system is imperative to reduce the carbon emission, and the penetration of renewable energy to the power system is expected to rise in the future. However, as the nature of renewable energy source being weather dependent, high penetration of this technology in the power system will pose additional challenges to the utilities and system operators. The hybrid power plants that include multi- ple generation technologies can combine the strengths and weaknesses of different technologies and results in a power system with better performance. For instance, combining wind, solar or other gen- eration technologies can results in a more stable generation with a generation profile similar to the base-load generation technology.

The results were expressed as µg/gm dry weight of tissue. The concentration of zinc varied from 3.71 – 8.35, 26.18 – 27.38 and 9.03 to 10.78, iron content fluctuated from 25.62 – 27.68, 26.13 – 27.63 and 10.65 – 12.95 and the copper content varied from 1.63– 2.97, 4.1 – 7.25 and 2.16 – 2.97µg/gm dry weight of tissue in muscles, liver and gills respectively. A positive correlation were observed between the selected metals in muscles and gills whereas negative correlation were observed between zinc and copper (r = -0.476) and iron and copper (r = - 0.144) in liver of Lethrinus lentjan.
