1. Introduction: London Array wind farmLondon wind farm is the recent adaptation of the wind energy is also extended to off shore i.e.into sea. The London wind farm array is the best example of this kind, which is located 20 kmaway from the shore. It has 175 turbines generating 630 MW. It the world’s wind farm that isbased on industrial offshore (Dabiri, 2007). It is based on the renewable energy project inLondon. The massive tones of power in the range of nearly 25 GW is going to be the futureproject of this wind farm. As per Stern (2013), there are different kinds of energies in this world which are converted intouseful form for various applications. Some of the energies are heat energy, wind energy, lightenergy etc. The wind energy in recent days is gaining its importance due to it eco friendly nature.The wind energy is one kind of solar energy. The wind blows from the region of hightemperature area to low temperature areas. This wind is used for generating electricity throughwind mills with mechanical rotation of it. The applications of the wind mills include mill thegrains, pumping water (drainage and ground water) and the electricity. The energy generatedfrom the wind mills are generally pure without pollution. Hence people around prefer thistechniques in various part of world where the wind energy is high. Figure 1: Wind Farm
