• AND THE NECESSITIES OF 2020 AND THEREAFTER”

Global cumulative growth of wind power capacity

Global investment to 2050 (USD billion)

Progress in wind power since

2008

Global wind map, installed capacity and production for lead

countries

Wind generation is significant

In 2010 alone, new global wind power

installations equaled the capacity of 66

large conventional power plants.

World Wind Energy Scenario

TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF ONSHORE WIND ENERGY IS

ABOUT 20000 TO 50000 TWH PER YEAR AGAINST THE

TOTAL WORLD ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF 15000

TWH

ECONOMIC POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON FACTORS LIKE

AVERAGE WIND SPEED, STATISTICAL WIND SPEED

DISTRIBUTION, TURBULENCE INTENSITIES AND COSTS

OF WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS

WORLD WIND ENERGY

SCENARIO

AS ENERGY OF WIND IS PROPORTIONAL TO THIRD POWER OF WIND SPEED, ECONOMIC CALCULATIONS ARE SENSITIVE TO LOCAL AVERAGE WIND SPEED

BECAUSE THE WIND ENERGY IS INTERMITTENT, WIND TURBINES MAINLY DELIVER ENERGY BUT VERY LITTLE CAPACITY.

TYPICAL CAPACITY VALUES BEING OFTEN LESS THAN 20% OF INSTALLED WIND POWER

WINDIEST REGIONS, POTENTIAL

COASTAL REGIONS OF AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, AUSTRALIASIA

TOTAL RESOURCE IS VAST- ONE ESTIMATE PUTS IT AS A MILLION GW

Even if only1% of area used with a low load factor of 15-40%, wind potential correspond to total capacity of all elec. Generating plants

Offshore resource HUGE- capable of supplying all EU electricity without going further than 30km offshore.

World Wind Energy Scenario

AS THE PENETRATION OF WIND TURBINES INCREASES THE PERCENTAGE FALLS FURTHER, REQUIRING EVEN MORE BACK UP POWER FOR A RELIABLE ENERGY SUPPLY

IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRANSFORM WIND-GENERATED ELECTRICITY FROM INTERMITTENT TO BASE LOAD POWER IF IT IS COMBINED WITH COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE. THUS A HIGHER CAPACITY FACTOR CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH SMALL ECONOMIC PENALTY

World Wind Energy Scenario

BY OPTIMIZING THE TURBINE CHARACTERISTICS TO THE LOCAL WIND REGIME, CAPACITY FACTOR CURRENTLY OFTEN AT 20-25% CAN BE OPTIMIZED WITHOUT LOOSING TOO MUCH ENERGY OUTPUT.

HOWEVER EXTREME CAPACITY FACTORS OF ABOUT 40% AUTOMATICALLY MEAN A LARGE LOSS OF POTENTIAL ENERGY OUTPUT

World Wind Energy Scenario

BECAUSE OF SCARCITY OF LAND IN URBAN CENTERS, THE COUNTRIES LIKE DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, UK AND SWEDEN ARE DEVELOPING OFFSHORE PROJECTS

A UNDP STUDY ESTIMATES THAT AROUND 3000 TWH PER YEAR OF ELECTRICITY COULD BE GENERATED IN THE COASTAL AREAS OF EUROPEAN UNION

World Wind Energy Scenario:

Wind Turbine Sizes

THE CURRENT WIND ENERGY ERA BEGAN

IN MID 1970S WITH A TYPICAL SIZE OF A

WIND TURBINE OF 30 KW WITH A ROTOR

DIAMETER OF 10 METERS

THE LARGEST UNIT INSTALLED TODAY

HAS A CAPACITY OF 1650 KW WITH A

ROTOR DIAMETER OF 66 METERS

ATTRACTIVE WIND REGIONS

Europe- North/West coasts, Mediterranean

Asia- East coast, some inland areas

Africa- North, Southwest coast

North America- Most coastal regions, some

mountainous central zones

S. America- Best Towards south

Wind Energy Scenario

TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF ONSHORE WIND

ENERGY IS ABOUT 20000 TO 50000 TWH PER YEAR

AGAINST THE TOTAL WORLD ELECTRICITY

CONSUMPTION OF 15000 TWH

ECONOMIC POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON FACTORS

LIKE AVERAGE WIND SPEED, STATISTICAL WIND

SPEED DISTRIBUTION, TURBULENCE INTENSITIES

AND COSTS OF WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS

World WIND ENERGY Scenario

WIND ENERGY WAS USED AS A SOURCE OF

POWER BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

DISPLACED BY FOSSIL FUELS BECAUSE OF COST

AND RELIABILITY

OIL SHOCKS OF 1970S SAW RENEWED INTERESTS

IN WIND ENERGY FOR APPLICATIONS LIKE GRID-

Wind Power in India Estimated Potential as per CWET: 65-100 GW

Renewable share (31 GW) in overall Power Capacity (234 GW) amounts to more than 13%

Share of Wind power generation in Indian Renewables is 65 %.

India is fifth after USA, Germany, Spain, China

NOTE: Only about 20% is the maximum utility factor of installed wind capacity based on local wind conditions.
