Micro wind turbine is a technology that is used to generate electricity in urban areas. The purpose of this review paper is an analysis of micro wind turbines on high-rise buildings. High-rise buildings are used as towers for micro wind turbines. Here is an analysis of the wind map of India for installing wind turbines. With the help of wind maps, the behavior of wind at different heights has been studied. The result of this study is to analyze how much wind power is generated in different states of India. At present nine states of India, wind energy is produced for commercial use and connected to the grid. Tamil Nadu is the largest wind power producer state. The wind flow in nine states is very good for wind power generation. Micro wind turbines have also been installed in these states and wind power generation for domestic use yields good results.
