本研究涉及定位海上风电场的潜在地点，并通过对印度沿海沿着的要求进行科学研究，探讨安装海上风电场的可行性。印度沿海沿着的海上风能几乎还未开发，需要找到和更详细地研究潜在和可行的区域。在这方面，基本的主要参数，如水深、风速、与海岸、港口、海港、海洋保护区、海洋禁猎区的距离，几乎没有得到考虑。在GIS环境中划定了海上风电场的合适场地。利用1999-2009年的周风速气候学资料，探讨了季节风势。地理信息系统分析显示，阿拉伯海东北部（孟买和拉特纳吉里外海）有32，000平方公里的潜在风电场区域，水深在20米至75米之间。这些地区的风速范围为1.9 m/s至10.2 m/s。第二个潜在的网站已被确定在关闭芒格洛尔与6490平方公里。第三个潜在地点是胡格利河口。
This study deals with locating the potential sites for offshore wind farms and also deals with feasibility of installing offshore wind farms through scientific examination of the requirements along the coast of India. Offshore wind energy is almost unexplored along the Indian coast.Potential and feasible regions need to be found and studied in more detail. In this regard, few of the essential primary parameters such as bathymetry, wind velocity, proximity to the coast, ports, harbours, marine protected areas, marine sanctuary were considered. Suitable sites for offshore wind farms were demarcated In a GIS environment. Weekly climatology (1999-2009) of wind speed was used to explore the seasonal wind potential. GIS analysis has brought out potential wind farms regions of 32,000 km 2 in north east Arabian Sea (Off Mumbai and Off Ratnagiri) where bathymetry is in the range of 20 m to 75 m. Wind velocity ranges between 1.9 m/s to 10.2 m/s in these regions. The second potential site has been identified at off Mangalore with 6490 km 2 . The third prospective site is Off Hooghly estuary.
