Background/Objectives: This article outlines the analysis of the power load data as well as the effect of various atmospheric parameters on the power generation.

Methods/Statistical analysis: A yearlong (2013) daily data was measured for a small scale wind turbine. The following criteria had been taken into consideration for the assessment - calculation of daily power generation, plotting graphs of power generation versus wind speed, temperature, air density and energy per swept area. Following this, a meticulous analysis of all the components was also gauged.

Findings: The power generation is proportional to the wind velocity, temperature and air density. The wind velocity and swept area is more profound effect on the power generation. The small scale is more useful in places such as Resorts, hotels, monuments and areas that demand pollution free atmosphere.
