Economic report Growth in the wind energy sector .................................................... 10 Despite the difficult economic situation, the wind industry remains one of the fastest growing sectors. Never before have so many new wind turbines been newly erected around the world than in 2012.

Global market – solid growth: China, the USA and Europe neck and neck ...................... 12 The wind power market continues to grow at record speed, despite a sharp decline by front-runner China. In 2012, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), new wind turbines with a capacity of 44.71 MW were connected to the grid.

Wind Industry in Germany

Onshore – strongest growth for ten years ........................ 14 The German wind market continues to grow. In 2012, approximately 20 per cent more capacity was connected to the grid than in the previous year. 1,008 turbines with a capacity totalling 2,439 megawatts (MW) were newly erected.

Offshore – the next step is complete ..................................... 16 In 2012, the expansion of wind power off the German coast picked up pace. Sixteen wind turbines with a total capacity of 80 MW went on-grid for the first time. This corresponds to 3.3 per cent of the total wind capacity newly installed in Germany. At the end of the year, 68 turbines with a total of 280.3 MW were operating at sea.

Industry structure – the transition is in progress ................................ 18 In the German wind industry, young companies and classical mechanical engineering traditionally work closely together. Starting with the pioneering regions on the coast, the industry has also become an economic factor inland.

Technology – bigger, stronger and more adaptable ................................................. 20 Taller, more powerful and larger rotors – the trend for even greater performance is continuing. Within the last ten years alone, the nominal capacity of onshore wind turbines installed in Germany has increased from an average of 1.39 MW to 2.39 MW, rotors have grown from 65.71 m to 86.6 m, and the hub height from 78.75 m to 110.99 m.

Financing – a trend towards energy cooperatives ........................... 22 Onshore wind energy is today considered an established investment with low risks and secure returns. It is becoming more common for energy cooperatives to build wind turbines as community wind farms. Banks are still exercising caution when it comes to German offshore projects.

Employment – jobs created even far away from the coast ........................... 24 The wind industry is a reliable employer across Germany. As in the previous year, the growth of the industry picked up again considerably in 2012. From 2004 to 2011 alone, the number of employees increased by two-thirds from 63,900 to 101,100 according to the Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMU).

Climate protection – a key role for wind energy ................................... 26 Wind energy is essential for climate policy in Germany and worldwide. 237.7 gigawatts were installed around the world in 2011. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reports that wind energy saved 350 million tonnes of CO2 worldwide in 2011 alone.

Grid connection – the power grid is the bottleneck ................... 28 Renewable energies have grown faster than expected in recent years. But what is good news for climate protection is becoming more and more of a challenge for the power grids.

Companies Company overview ...................................................... 6 Manufacturers ............................................................... 30 The innovative power of the companies operating in Germany has given them the edge in terms of technology. Manufacturers are exporting and expanding into foreign markets in Europe, North America and Asia.

Suppliers ............................................................................. 44 Manufacturers of wind turbines from all over the world buy systems and components in Germany. Years of experience of the operational side together with specific research and development projects to reduce manufacturing and operating costs and prolong service life are much in demand everywhere.

Service & logistics .................................................... 104 Planning, finance, transport, construction and marketing. In Germany, there are now around 20,000 jobs concerned with services surrounding the operation of wind turbines.

Publisher and cooperation partner .............................................. 178 The German Wind Energy Association (BWE) has published a comprehensive overview of the industry in a publication entitled “Wind Industry in Germany”.

Growth in the wind energy sector

Despite the difficult economic situation, the wind industry remains one of the fastest growing sectors. Never before have so many new wind turbines been newly erected around the world than in 2012. Demand in Europe saw robust growth. The US market picked up like never before and made up for the fall in growth rates in Asia. The capacity of wind turbines installed around the world has now reached 282.48 GW.

Offshore wind power is essentially a European business. Of the 1.29 GW of offshore wind capacity installed in 2012, 90 % of this was connected to the grid in Europe (1.17 GW). Sixteen 5-MW offshore wind turbines were connected off the coast of Germany, and 109 further foundations have already been constructed. The offshore sector is hoping that planning certainty will increase for operators and creditors after important liability issues regarding the grid connection of offshore wind farms were clarified in 2012.

According to a study of potential carried out by the BWE, around eight per cent of

New markets are appearing all over the world. Twenty-four countries have now exceeded the one-gigawatt threshold of installed wind energy capacity. Brazil installed wind turbines with a capacity of 1.08 GW, Mexico doubled its growth of the previous year to 801 MW. In Ethiopia, the first large-scale wind farm in Sub-Saharan Africa is taking shape.

Meanwhile, the German market continues to grow. In the next one or two years, the sector will already achieve the 35 GW target for wind capacity set by the federal government for 2020. 31.33 GW were already connected to the grid by the end of 2012. Repowering is developing into a significant branch of the industry and even offshore wind power will reach a capacity of 2 GW for the first time in 2013. Technological progress and policy turnarounds are allowing new sites to be used for wind power on land.

Europe too saw a new record for added capacity at 12.4 GW. Alongside the traditional powerhouses of Germany and the United Kingdom, Sweden, Romania, Italy and Poland in particular all stepped it up a notch. This balanced out any declines, such as in Greece, France and Slovakia.

the land in Germany would be suitable as a wind power site. If we include forest and areas subject to building bans, 12.3 % or 22.4 % of the land respectively can be used for wind power. This potential space is spread all over Germany and is not restricted to the northern states. Even if all the German states were to approve just two per cent of their land area for the construction of wind turbines, says the study, it would be possible to install 198 GW of wind capacity.

On the expanding global market, countries like Germany that were the pioneers in the industry are naturally diminishing in their significance. In 2011, only 5.1 % of all new wind turbines were installed in Germany, but it was able to affirm its strong position as an export country: the wind industry here earned 66 % of its turnover overseas.

After two years of weak growth, the construction of new wind turbines appreciably picked up again. 44.71 GW of new capacity was installed in 2012, ten per cent more than in the previous year. With around 13 GW each, Europe, China and the USA were practically neck and neck at the forefront of the expansion, but saw very different development. In China, the brakes were put on the boom in the industry, caused, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), by consolidation of the market. The USA owes part of its record results to the uncertainty about whether tax credits for wind turbines would continue beyond 2012. For this reason, many projects were completed in the 4th quarter of the year.

Global market – solid growth: China, the USA and Europe neck and neck

The wind power market continues to grow at record speed, despite a sharp decline by front-runner China. In 2012, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), new wind turbines with a capacity of 44.71 MW were connected to the grid. This is nearly 10 % more than the previous year. China, the USA and Europe were virtually neck and neck in terms of new installations. The global wind energy capacity now lies at 282.48 GW and 24 countries have wind turbines in operation that total more than one gigawatt.

After the boom years of 2010 (18.94 GW) and 2011 (17.63 GW), growth on the Chinese market has declined further. But with 13.2 GW of newly installed capacity, China remains the front-runner with 30 % of the world’s new installations. It has over a quarter of the globally installed wind capacity, totalling 75.56 GW. With an expansion of 2.3 GW, India remains the second power in Asia, but also recorded a fall compared to the 3 GW of the previous year. 2012 was an historic year for the US wind industry. Wind turbines totalling 13.12 GW were connected to the grid across the country, nearly twice as much as the previous year (6.8 GW) and a new record. For the first time, the capacity installed in the USA just exceeded the 60 gigawatt mark. The 8 GW of wind capacity that was completed in the last quarter of 2012 alone does however include some projects that were brought forward owing to the longdelayed decision on whether to extend tax credits for wind turbines beyond 2012.

The sector does not therefore expect to attain the 2012 figures again in 2013. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) also reported that, for the first time, wind energy led the field of newly installed power production facilities with a share of 42 %. In Europe, according to statistics from the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), turbines with 12.4 GW were newly connected to the grid in 2012. In the EU states alone, the additional capacity grew from 9.4 GW in the previous year to 11.6 GW. This means that there is now 105.6 GW of wind power connected to the grid in the EU. Wind power represents 26 % of the newly installed power production in the EU and now covers 7 % of power requirements (6.3 % in 2011). However, the EWEA believes that political uncertainty in Europe will have an impact on the market in the next two years. The leader in Europe is Germany. Its added capacity of 2.4 GW forms 21 % of the new wind capacity. It is followed by the United Kingdom with 1.9 GW (16 %) and Italy with 1.3 GW (11 %). Central and eastern Europe are not far behind: Romania and Poland

brought twice as much wind capacity to the grid in 2012 than in previous years and lie in fourth place with 0.9 GW (8 %) of added capacity each. However, due to declines in Slovakia, Greece, the Czech Republic, Hungary, France and Portugal, the EU is trailing behind its expansion plans by 2 GW, or 1.7 %. The German wind industry is traditionally well represented on the global market. Sixteen per cent of all wind turbines and components are manufactured in Germany and a majority of these are exported. According to the latest studies, the German wind industry brought in 3.93 billion euros in export business in 2011. This corresponded to an export quota of 66 %, as in the previous year. Germany’s share of the global market has naturally reduced as wind energy has expanded in other countries. In 2011, 5.1 % of all turbines erected globally were erected in Germany; 6 per cent of investment went towards local projects.

Wind Industry in Germany

Onshore – strongest growth for ten years

The German wind market continues to grow. In 2012, approximately 20 per cent more capacity was connected to the grid than in the previous year. 1,008 turbines with a capacity totalling 2,439 megawatts (MW) were newly erected. In 2011, it was just 895 turbines with 2,008 MW. The newly installed capacity therefore achieved its highest level since 2003 and is the fourth best result overall.

It is in northern Germany in particular that increasing numbers of wind turbines are being erected. At 360 MW, 15 per cent of the new capacity is in Lower Saxony, followed by Schleswig-Holstein (14 %) and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (13 %). The strongest southern German states were Rhineland-Palatinate with 11.8 % (ranked 4th) and Bavaria with 8.2 % (ranked 6th). A realignment of regional policies in the two states is responsible for this in no small measure. The state with the smallest expansion was Baden-Württemberg (0.8 %, ranked 13th).

As in previous years, a majority of repowering projects took place in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, says the study. These pioneering sites currently have the most turbines that have reached repowering age, but repowering is already being carried out in central and southern states too. The potential for repowering grows year on year: in 2012, 9,359 turbines were 12 years old or more.

A study by Deutsche WindGuard shows that repowering is taking on a growing importance. Particularly at traditional sites, smaller, older wind turbines are being replaced with new, larger turbines. In 2012, 161 repowered turbines with a total capacity of 432 MW were installed – over 80 per cent more than the previous year. 252 turbines with a capacity of 179 MW were dismantled.

Technical advances also played their part in the growth in the southern states. In 2012, the highest turbines were erected in Bavaria with an average hub height of 133.9 metres, followed by Baden-Württemberg with 129.9 metres and RhinelandPalatinate with 129.1 metres. Turbines this tall are profitable at many inland wind farm sites that would not have been economically viable in the pioneering years of wind power. In Germany as a whole, the average hub height was 109.8 metres.

At the end of 2012, there were 23,040 wind turbines across Germany, with a total capacity of 31.33 MW on the grid. The expansion, as well as the total capacity, was once again driven by onshore wind power. Offshore, just 68 turbines with 280 MW of capacity were feeding power into the grid at the end of 2012. The average power of all the new turbines reached a new high at 2.42 MW. And so, the average capacity of all installed turbines continues to grow.

Offshore – the next step is complete

In 2012, the expansion of wind power off the German coast picked up pace. Sixteen wind turbines with a total capacity of 80 MW went on-grid for the first time. This corresponds to 3.3 per cent of the total wind capacity newly installed in Germany. At the end of the year, 68 turbines with a total of 280.3 MW were operating at sea. The sector prepared for 2013 during this preceding year too: 109 foundation structures have already been constructed offshore. The sector is clearly getting into its stride.

At the turn of the year, a total of six offshore wind farms were under construction, all in the North Sea: Bard I, the first phase of Borkum West II, Borkum Riffgat, Global Tech I, Meerwind Süd / Ost and Nordsee Ost. Once finished, their 350 wind turbines will together have a capacity of around 1.7 GW. The breakthrough of the offshore sector has lately been hindered by difficult financing and delays in connecting the wind farms to the power grid onshore. Banks are shying away from the risk and are only accepting smaller tranches with their financing. After liability issues relating to grid connection were clarified in 2012, the sector hopes that planning certainty will increase for operators and creditors. Overall, however, the offshore wind sector is booming in Europe. The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) reports that 293 offshore wind turbines in 55 wind farms in ten countries went on-grid in 2012, more than one every working day of the year. Their capacity totals 1.165 GW, a third more than in the previous year. This

Wind Industry in Germany

means that 1,662 wind turbines are now operational across Europe. The front-runner, by a clear margin, continues to be the United Kingdom, where 60 % of European offshore capacity is installed. It is followed by Denmark (18 %), Belgium (8 %) and Germany (6 %). In the UK, the significance of the offshore sector is clear to see: 2 % of its energy needs is already met by offshore wind power. According to the GWEC, this is due to grow to between 17 and 20 % within ten years. GWEC figures show that European offshore wind farms make up 90 % of the global market. The remainder are largely installed off the coast of China. At the end of 2011, China remained in third place globally with 258.4 MW of offshore wind capacity, behind the UK and Denmark. But this looks likely to change quickly. According to its “Twelfth five-year plan” (2011 – 2015), China wants to establish the entire offshore value chain by 2015 and install 5 GW of capacity at sea. The Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA) reports that

38 projects with a total of 16.5 GW are already at the early planning stage. The government has set itself the target of 30 GW of offshore wind power by 2020. China predominantly builds near-shore wind farms and uses smaller turbines than in the German far-shore farms, for example. According to Fraunhofer IWES, 272 turbines with capacity ratings of 1.5 to 2.3 MW were installed in the last three years in China alone. The wind turbines installed off the coast of Germany in 2012 had a capacity of 5 MW each; the European average was 4 MW.

Industry structure – the transition is in progress

In the German wind industry, young companies and classical mechanical engineering traditionally work closely together. Starting with the pioneering regions on the coast, the industry has also become an economic factor inland. Experts are expecting a wave of mergers and acquisitions among manufacturers. Meanwhile, the maintenance and operation sector is growing with the number of installed turbines.

The bulk of the added value still comes from the construction and planning of wind turbines. According to the annual workplace study carried out by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, 82,600 jobs are due to investments. A further 18,500 employees are involved in the operation and maintenance of turbines.

rejuvenated the economy. The coastal regions, which were pioneers in establishing onshore wind energy, have developed into a focal point of the industry and are experiencing a second boost due to the expansion of offshore wind power. Traditional industrial locations inland also benefit from the wind industry.

The consistent expansion of the wind industry benefits the whole of Germany. In some previously economically underdeveloped regions, the wind industry has

Taking the offshore sector as an example, the management consultancy firm PwC has calculated that 60 % of profits from the value chain come from turbine manufac-

turing – so inland states also benefit from this. According to a PwC study, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and BadenWürttemberg, with nearly 40 per cent of all offshore turbine manufacturers, have only marginally fewer companies than in all coastal states – Hamburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern together have 42 per cent. And even for the large offshore wind farms, according to the study, 90 per cent of value creation stems from small and medium-sized companies.

Maintenance and servicing are becoming ever more important with the constant expansion of new onshore plants and the expected increase offshore. Management consultancy firm Deloitte estimates the market value at 2.3 billion euros across Europe, and predicts an increase to 4.5 billion by 2020. Up to now, the manufacturers of wind turbines have dominated the service market with 63â&#x20AC;&#x2030;% (as of 2011), with the remainder divided between independent service providers and in-house service companies. Deloitte expects that independent service providers will be able to expand their market share when the initial guarantee contracts expire.

Citizens, public utility companies and other municipal suppliers have recognised renewable energies as an opportunity to secure a share in energy generation and to enrich the market. Onshore wind energy plays an important role in this. Regionalising electricity production and involving local residents further increases the acceptance of wind farms. Large energy suppliers, who were scarcely represented among wind turbine owners for a long time, have now discovered wind energy for themselves and are catching up.

According to industry experts, the trend for large offshore projects and onshore repowering will change the industry Âstructure in Germany. Smaller companies will react to the pressure of competitors from the Far East by merging or being absorbed into larger companies through acquisitions. There is also interest from abroad. According to an international industry survey by KPMG, Germany is in third place behind the USA and India as a target country for planned mergers and acquisitions.

Technology – bigger, stronger and more adaptable

Taller, more powerful and larger rotors – the trend for even greater performance is continuing. Within the last ten years alone, the nominal capacity of onshore wind t urbines installed in Germany has increased from an average of 1.39 MW to 2.39 MW, rotors have grown from 65.71 m to 86.6 m, and the hub height from 78.75 m to 110.99 m. Manufacturers and operators of wind farms are opening up new markets with wind turbines which are adapted to locations with strong or only moderate winds.

The largest turbines today have a capacity of 7.5 MW, with rotors up to 154 metres in diameter mounted on axles up to 160 metres above the ground. This brings the total height to over 200 metres. Today Siemens is building rotor blades with a length of 75 metres, which is almost as long as the whole wingspan of an Airbus A380 and is the current industry record. The rotor covers a surface of 18,600 m, the equivalent of two and half football pitches. If the wind blows at ten metres per second, it can capture the energy of 200 tonnes of air per second. At full speed, the blade tips race through the air at 290 kilometres per hour. And yet, progress is not only focusing on the development of ever larger turbines. Today there is a larger product range as manufacturers adapt their turbines for locations with very strong winds and also for low-wind sites. This shows that the manufacturers are following the trend for developing new wind farm sites, since those established on the coast and in hill ranges are already spoken for.

Wind Industry in Germany

As a rule of thumb, every extra metre in height provides one per cent greater yield. Doubling the rotor diameter doubles the yield. If there is a particularly strong wind, the performance increases over the same rotor surface. For example, REpower offers a 6 MW turbine, which corresponds to a 5 MW turbine in terms of external dimensions. The size of the rotors is varied in order to adapt a wind turbine to low-wind sites. For the same turbine performance, larger rotors are required – they literally capture more wind with the larger swept area. This increases the number of full load hours. So for inland locations with moderate wind, for example, Nordex offers the N117/2400 turbine which has a rotor with a diameter of 117 metres instead of 100 metres. Enercon has its eye on similar locations with the E-92, and Vestas with the V1263.0 MW. Other companies are also offering this type of turbine. These turbines open up new locations to operators. They reduce the difference in wind yields between traditional coastal

locations and formerly less attractive inland sites. For example, twenty years ago, only a tenth of the land area in Brandenburg could be used cost-effectively for wind power. With the technology available today, four-fifths of the land can be used. Inland states such as RhinelandPalatinate, Thuringia, Bavaria and BadenWürttemberg are currently building wind farms. Meanwhile, basic research is forging ahead. Last summer, the Fraunhofer IWES inaugurated a 200 m-high measuring mast in northern Hesse in order to investigate wind conditions in wooded highlands. The results should help to plan higher wind turbines near to or in forests.

Financing – a trend towards energy cooperatives

Onshore wind energy is today considered an established investment with low risks and secure returns. It is becoming more common for energy cooperatives to build wind turbines as community wind farms. Banks are still exercising caution when it comes to German offshore projects. Offshore wind farms are achieved through project financing, where a number of banks contribute small amounts.

An international study by management consultancy firm KPMG on mergers and acquisitions shows that onshore investments have become mainstream. 40 % of the companies and investors surveyed indicated that they would like to buy into the onshore wind energy value chain in the near future – in the previous year it was 30 %.

Onshore wind energy in Germany has traditionally involved private owners: according to the recent surveys by the research institute trend:research, in 2010 over half of the wind capacity installed in Germany belonged to private individuals – the energy suppliers had just 7.4 %, with the remainder split between developers, funds and banks.

In Germany, a growing number of residents are involved in financing, constructing and operating wind turbines, photovoltaics and biogas plants. Between 2008 and 2011, the number of energy cooperatives increased by a factor of four, from 144 to 586. In Bavaria alone, 151 have now been founded, followed by Baden-Württemberg (107) and Lower Saxony (102). These projects are popular because they keep value creation in the region and secure commercial tax income for the local communities. In the case of wind farms, there is another important point to add: They are far more likely to be accepted if the local residents share in the profits.

Meanwhile, financing offshore wind farms is still difficult. While over two-thirds of the offshore wind farms in the UK belong to international energy suppliers with corresponding equity, the proportion in Germany is just 38 %. In Germany, offshore wind energy is mainly a case for project financing. Indeed, the German government increased the EEG feed-in compensation for offshore wind farms at the start of 2012. Furthermore, in 2012, the loan bank KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) made a total of five billion euros available at the usual market interest rates in a special programme. The commercial banks are still holding back because the construction risk is assessed as high, especially at locations far from the coast.

Whilst there is reliable information on construction costs, operation and energy yield for onshore wind turbines, and for gas and coal power stations – and therefore clear return expectations – the offshore sector still needs to prove itself. When Trianel, an association of 33 public utility companies, recently planned a coal power station for 1.3 billion euros, a single bank took on a tranche of a billion euros, and 300 million euros were equity. The same company is currently building the Borkum West II wind farm with an investment volume of 800 million euros. Trianel also contributed 300 million euros of equity here. For the remaining 500 million euros, the company is working with eleven (!) different banks, which took on tranches of a maximum of 50 million euros. 16 commercial banks are involved in the financing of the Global Tech 1 wind farm in the North Sea.

Employment – jobs created even far away from the coast

The wind industry is a reliable employer across Germany. As in the previous year, the growth of the industry picked up again considerably in 2012. From 2004 to 2011 alone, the number of employees increased by two-thirds from 63,900 to 101,100 according to the Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMU). Many jobs are being created away from coastal regions.

For the first time, the BMU calculated the significance of renewable energies for the labour market in the individual states. Saxony-Anhalt is in first place. 2.6 % of all employees there work directly or indirectly in renewable energies – about one person in every 40. Three more eastern states, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Thuringia, are in places 2 to 4.

Wind energy is at the top of the positive trends in renewable energies. 381,600 people across Germany worked in renewable energy in 2011, which is 4 % more than in the year before. The growing turbine inventory has resulted in employment in operation and maintenance growing by 8 % to 75,800 people (of whom 17,800 work in onshore wind energy and 700 in offshore wind energy). In addition, the statistics show 9,600 employees in publicly funded research and administration. While the growth in onshore wind energy is turning out to be moderate, it is clear from the labour market that the offshore sector is growing. Across Germany, 8,600 people already work in the offshore wind energy sector, a quarter more than in the previous year. However, the BMU attributes the growth more to the exporting success of German companies in the European market rather than to the domestic market. The number of people employed in onshore wind energy is clearly higher, but there is only a slight increase from 89,200 to 92,500.

Wind Industry in Germany

In terms of the number of jobs in the wind energy sector, however, densely populated Lower Saxony is ahead, with 22,000 jobs directly or indirectly related to wind energy. North Rhine-Westphalia is in second place with 13,000 employees, and Bavaria is in

third with 10,000 – two states which are not traditional wind farm sites. In any case, these figures show that the wind industry should not just be reduced to the locations of the largest wind turbine manufacturers. The industry also creates jobs for component manufacturers and suppliers inland. As a national average, 84 % of those employed in the wind industry are working on the construction of new turbines, and the other 18 % in operation and maintenance. The distribution in Brandenburg is particularly noteworthy: Over 2,000 of the total 4,500 employees work in maintaining and operating the turbines.

Climate protection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a key role for wind energy

Wind energy is essential for climate policy in Germany and worldwide. 237.7 gigawatts were installed around the world in 2011. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reports that wind energy saved 350 million tonnes of CO2 worldwide in 2011 alone. Since its commencement, the modern wind industry has prevented a total of 1,368 Âbillion tonnes of CO2 emissions. The ambitious climate protection targets will not be achieved without wind energy.

Wind turbines have a very good carbon footprint. Within just three to nine months, the turbines have saved the same amount of CO2 emissions as those incurred in their manufacture, installation and maintenance. They contribute to the net saving of greenhouse gases throughout the rest of their life cycle.

Wind energy is playing a key role in environmentally friendly power generation. Even today, 40 percent of renewably generated power in Germany comes from wind turbines, which equates to 48.9 billion kilowatt hours (TWh). Accordingly, wind energy also plays the largest role in preventing greenhouse gas emissions in

Germany: of the 86.5 million tonnes of emissions which were prevented across Germany by renewable power generation in 2011, 35.2 million tonnes were due to wind energy. 24.6 million tonnes were saved by biomass, a further 13.8 million tonnes by hydropower and 12.8 by photovoltaics.

mates of the Bundesverband der Energieund Wasserwirtschaft (BDEW), the proportion of renewable energies was 23 percent in 2012. In 2011, it was just 20 percent. In 2011, renewable energies overtook nuclear power for the first time, making it the second most important source in the German energy mix.

According to the German government’s target, renewable energies should cover 35 percent of the energy requirement by 2020, and then 80 percent by 2050. Germany is on the right path to meeting the first milestone, as the proportion of environmentally friendly energy is increasing faster than planned. According to esti-

The International Energy Agency IEA estimated in the World Energy Outlook 2012 that by the year 2035, at least one third of worldwide power generation would be from renewable sources. However, even greater climate protection efforts are needed in the future. The IEA estimates that in China alone, the power require-

ment is growing at an extent exceeding the current usage of the USA and Japan. China’s power generation from coal power stations is said to be growing at almost the same rate as that of nuclear energy, wind and hydropower combined. The agency warns: “When we consider all new developments and policy measures, it still doesn’t look possible to steer the global energy system onto a more sustainable path.”

Grid connection – the power grid is the bottleneck

Renewable energies have grown faster than expected in recent years. But what is good news for climate protection is becoming more and more of a challenge for the power grids. In recent years, so much green energy was produced that wind turbines sometimes had to be turned off because the grid couldn’t accept their power. The grid development plan should accelerate the expansion.

According to the monitoring report of the Federal Network Agency and the Federal Cartel Office, more and more power is lost because renewable energy plants are switched off in order to protect against grid overloads. In 2011, this “unproductive work” was 421 Gwh, more than three times higher than in 2010 (127 Gwh). The large increase in unproductive work, according to the monitoring report, is directly related to the unabated expansion of renewable energies and the slow progress of grid expansion. Shutdowns nearly only affect wind turbines (97.4 % of unproductive work). The grids need to be expanded so that renewable energies can be further developed. Furthermore, the European power markets will be more closely linked in the future, and Germany will become a transit country for power.

The BWE sees the creation of an annual grid development plan as an important measure for accelerating the expansion of the grid. In a statement, however, the association recommends that the sections which urgently need to be expanded are prioritised in the plan. In addition, the BWE recommends developing a strategy until 2050, beyond the time frame of ten years – this would correspond to the time frame in the German government’s energy

concept. It is not just the expansion of the power supply lines which should be considered, but also the construction of storage, the integration of the gas and electricity network and flexibility options such as load management. The expansion is still faltering. As early as 2009, the German Bundestag agreed the construction of 24 projects with a total of 1,834 kilometres of new lines in the Power

Grid development plan 2012

Passage A 2 GW

According to the version submitted at the end of 2012, 2,800 kilometres of new lines should be built and 2,900 kilometres of existing lines should be upgraded by 2022.

This is why the Power Grid Expansion Act came into force in August 2012. It should ensure that new lines are approved more quickly. The Federal Network Agency is now responsible for this, and not the states. It focuses on the grid development plan, which was created by the transmission grid operators for the first time in 2012. It specifies the requirement for the next ten years. The grid development plan is reviewed and updated every year.

The connection of the offshore wind farm in the North Sea to the German grid is an advancement. The grid operator Tennet, which was criticised due to the delays in connection, announced its cooperation with Mitsubishi in January 2013. The Japanese group is contributing 576 million euros towards connecting the BorWin1 and 2, HelWin2 and DolWin2 wind farms which are situated 100 kilometres off the coast.

Wind Industry in Germany

ENERCON has been one of the technology leaders in the wind power sector for almost 30 years. As the first manufacturer of wind turbines, the company used a gearless drive concept that is a characteristic of all ENERCON wind turbines. ENERCON is also at the forefront in other areas, such as rotor blade design, control technology, grid connection technology, and, with its wide range of technological new developments, proves its innovative strength time and again. Continual research and development are guarantees of the ongoing success of the company. The same applies to production

and service. All the key components, such as the rotor, annular generators and grid feeding system, are manufactured inhouse. This vertical integration, which is unequalled in the wind sector, ensures the high quality and extreme reliability of ENERCON wind turbines. A customer-oriented service offering also plays a part in this, guaranteeing the operator 97 % technical availability of the turbines. This holistic concept sets high new standards in technology, quality and safety and consolidates ENERCON’s position as the German and European market leader.

The product portfolio comprises wind turbines with outputs from 800 to 7,500 kilowatts. The newest model is the E-92/2.3 MW with a rotor diameter of 92 metres. Its newly developed rotor blade profile enables the highest yield with an optimum distribution of the blade loads and lighter blades. All ENERCON models boast reliable technology, low maintenance requirements and a long service life, thereby guaranteeing a high level of profitability for customers. Thanks to the directly driven synchronous generator and innovative modular fullscale converter concept, ENERCON wind turbines have a wide range of technical options for adaptation to the grid conditions. They have a grid feeding system that is certified to the latest grid connection requirements. ENERCON wind turbines can therefore be integrated without difficulty

into all supply and distribution grid structures. Furthermore, ENERCON wind turbines supply numerous features that support the grid. True to the company’s claim of “energy for the world”, ENERCON is driving forward supply with renewable energies worldwide. In doing so ENERCON is expanding its research and development, production and sales activities in line with demand. Internationally, ENERCON has a presence in the major markets with factories in Brazil, Sweden, Turkey, Portugal and Canada, as well as a global decentralised service and sales network. ENERCON’s prudent, sustainable growth strategy guarantees its stability. In autumn 2012, the founding of the Aloys Wobben Foundation sealed ENERCON’s

stability and independence as well as the continuity of its company direction. On 1 October, Aloys Wobben, company founder and owner, donated his shares of the company to the new foundation to cement the sustainable, future-oriented corporate strategy of ENERCON.

Flexible, scalable and open: the Beckhoff control platform PC Control is the optimal basis for the integrated control of a wind turbine, from operational management, pitch control and brake control to obstruction lighting and farm networking. Beyond that Beckhoff increasingly acts as a control supplier in the entire wind turbine supply sector.

and simple handling. Interfaces for all common fieldbus systems and the large signal variety of the Beckhoff I/O systems cover all types of signals and fieldbuses that are relevant to wind power. Lowerlevel fieldbuses such as CANopen, PROFIBUS and Ethernet TCP/IP can be relocated to the field via fieldbus master terminals for the control of subsystems.

The openness of the Beckhoff control architecture fits the requirement profile of the wind power industry perfectly: performance-related scalability, maximum flexibility in controller design and a high degree of integration. Beckhoff Industrial and Embedded PCs, I/O components and the TwinCAT automation software provide the wind turbine manufacturer with a flexible modular system for the automation of its wind turbine, from the individual components to the complete control solution, including the application software.

A multitude of software libraries for wind turbines supplements the extensive range of standard hardware components and allows, for example, connection to the control system via telecontrol protocols. In addition, the open, scalable TwinCAT automation software offers the user a high degree of freedom in choosing his programming language: in addition to the object orientated extensions of IEC 61131-3, C and C++ are now also available as programming languages for real-time applications. With the integration of Matlab®/ Simulink®, TwinCAT can also be used for plant simulation, for example for load calculation.

Integrated system solution from the operational management to the farm networking The Beckhoff standard controller consists of an Embedded PC as the master computer (in the tower base), EtherCAT as the ultra-fast communication system, the lineconnected Bus or EtherCAT Terminals and the TwinCAT automation software. EtherCAT forms the basis for fast communication with EMC-resistant fibre-optic connections in the wind turbine between the tower base and the nacelle as well as for farm networking. Beyond that, EtherCAT is characterised by flexible topology

The package of solutions from Beckhoff for the wind power industry is rounded off by application know-how gained from ten years of experience in the control of wind turbines and the corresponding software. In addition, the smooth interaction of the Beckhoff technology with industrial communication standards such as IEC 61400-25, Ethernet TCP/IP or OPC guarantees high investment security for the user. Control platform integrates safety technology and Condition Monitoring The safety functions of a wind turbine are integrated seamlessly into the control application via the Beckhoff TwinSAFE terminals, which are distributed to the various

I/O stations in the tower base, nacelle and pitch control. Condition Monitoring terminals allow the integration of the wind turbine monitoring. The efficient interaction of all system components optimises the availability not only of the individual components, but also of the entire wind turbine. At the same time the costs for the basic electrical equipment of the wind turbine and for maintenance are lowered by dispensing with special hardware or additional CPUs. Ultra-fast wind farm networking on the basis of EtherCAT Wind farm networking with EtherCAT is not only faster compared to conventional

IP solutions, but also offers cost benefits by dispensing with switches or hubs. With the EL3773 EtherCAT Power Measurement Terminal integrated in the automation system, momentary current and voltage values can be measured at up to 10,000 samples/s. Using the EtherCAT Distributed Clocks, the measured values of all wind turbines and the measurement at the feed-in point of a farm can be synchronised to a timeframe smaller than 1 μs. The existing Ethernet infrastructure (fibre-optic technology) can be used over distances of up to 20 km without loss of speed. Date: August 2012

Barksdale Control Products Innovative products and custom made solutions Measurement and control technology for wind turbines

The functionality and efficiency of a windenergy plant depends on the interaction of the components used. This is why the gear mechanism, the pitch-controls and the brakes must be protected from malfunction. In order to ensure this protection, high-quality pressure and temperature switches, as well as level probes and sensors are used to monitor the grease and oil conditions. Sensors and switches are perfectly tailored to the respective site conditions. Wide operating temperatures from -40 °C in Northern Europe to + 50 °C in Southern India require the ability to choose appropriate gasket material. In addition Barksdale switches are constructed to operate in installations and environments where shock and vibration are present, as demonstrated by the marine approvals e.g. GL, BV etc. they currently have.

Eickhoff Antriebstechnik GmbH

EICOGEAR: Robust gearboxes for wind turbines The successful history of the Eickhoff Group started over 140 years ago with the set up of a foundry and engineering works for the coal mining industry in the Ruhr Area. Despite its global activities, the Eickhoff Group as a medium-sized family company still feels strongly attached to its roots.

“The trend towards larger rotors and higher towers demands maximum flexibility in the development and construction of new gearboxes able to withstand greater load” – Dr. Ralf Wittor, managing director

Wind Industry in Germany

Eickhoff started manufacturing gearboxes for the wind turbine industry in 1990 and has since developed extensive experience in this area. Long-lasting, service-friendly gearboxes are designed in close cooperation with customers to reduce overall plant operating costs. Within the group of companies, Eickhoff benefits from strong vertical integration of manufacturing experience. The foundry for example has extensive knowledge in metallurgy, which is utilized in making qualitatively high-grade castings. The engineering team is highly competent in gear component manufacturing and casting machining as a result of long-standing experience in the production of high-performance machinery and gearboxes for the mining industry. All complex gear components are designed for safe normal operation and for occasionally occurring overloads with the aid of sophisticated FEM (Finite Elemente Method) calculations. Adequate safety margins are built in to ensure the plant can continue operating even under extreme conditions. Every gearbox is tested for all relevant parameters on the company’s test benches, and

each successful test run is documented by the Eickhoff quality seal of approval. Prototypes are additionally tested under extreme conditions (low temperatures, maximum overloads) and in specific (inclined) mounting positions in the drive train. Eickhoff initiates projects together with its suppliers in order to develop a shared understanding of quality. Working closely with university institutions, Eickhoff explores the interactions between the various components in the drive train to optimize their configuration and design. As part of joint development projects, field trials are carried out on newly developed gearbox prototypes under real conditions at the customer‘s site accompanied by intensive test measurement. Together we ensure that the best possible gearbox solution is found for the drive train of a new turbine. Customers have a dedicated contact person within the engineering service to deal with all technical and organizational matters. Outside the usual business hours, customers can make use of a worldwide service hotline at any time. The main focus is on ensuring the ongoing operation of the wind turbines. Generally, the gearboxes can be directly repaired on the tower. The experience that is gained by the interdisciplinary group of experts in turn encourages further development of new and series production gearboxes. The company’s service portfolio also comprises all inspection and maintenance operations. In addition, customized service packages are made available upon request. The E-Goms system (Eickhoff Gearbox Online

Monitoring System), certified in 2004, is used for gearbox diagnostics. This system works on the basis of structure-borne noise and torque measurements and provides support to service engineers on site. In critical cases, the recorded data is transferred to specialists at the Bochum diagnostics center for detailed analysis. Gearbox rebuilds are carried out at the parent company plant in Bochum and at the U.S. subsidiary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The rebuild teams always install the latest improvements to the original design right up to comprehensive upgrades. If requested by customers, gearboxes of other brands are also repaired. In January 2009, production began of a large series of gear compo-

nents and gearbox parts for the EICOGEAR wind turbine gearbox using state of the art machinery. EICOGEAR Wind Turbine Gearboxes are: • long-living due to our high quality! • robust due to the inherent safety margins! • service-friendly due to our timely response to the operational and maintenance needs of the plant! • low-noise due to optimal gear teeth meshing! • optimally lubricated due to specific oil-adapted designs! • online due to E-GOMS communication!

Better with experience Hauff-Technik’s core area of competence is creating hermetically sealed partitions in buildings and housings with walls made from concrete, brickwork or sheet steel. The company is able to cite a wide range of practical applications in wind turbine projects that demonstrate the extensive experience it has accumulated over many years in the onshore and offshore wind farm markets. Whether customers are looking to supply individual turbines using medium-voltage cables or need a solution in the form of an extensive stainless steel sleeve for high-voltage shore connection systems, Hauff-Technik can offer them a high-precision and effective design. Far from presenting Hauff-Technik’s manufacturing network with logistical challenges, this is all part of its “daily business”.

What does ‘sealed’ actually mean? ‘Hermetically sealed’ means much more than the usual IP protection ratings against the intrusion of solid objects as well as liquids / gases. For us, ‘sealed’ is not just the description of a state, it is a promise that we make to our customers. Standard Hauff sealing systems remain tightly sealed even when immersed in water up to 50 m deep (depending on design and material). We can meet even more stringent requirements with our special designs and custommade items, which can be produced and supplied to our customers within a few days thanks to our extensive in-house manufacturing ability. Alongside our largevolume production, in our capacity as leading innovators we are just as capable of handling small batch sizes right down to a single unit with our sophisticated manufacturing processes.

Our principle is to keep thinking one step ahead Resembling a chain, the performance of a network is always determined by its weakest link. If just one seemingly small or apparently insignificant component fails, under certain circumstances (e.g. ingress of moisture), this can affect the whole system and can even lead to total failure. However many cables of various specified diameters need to be sealed, our approach at Hauff-Technik is to suggest a custommade design alongside standard components. This minimises the time and effort required from the user and avoids the application errors which can occur with modular systems. Above all, as a manufacturer, we assume responsibility not only for delivering the product as quickly as possible, but also for the quality and functionality of the solution provided.

At a glance Hauff sealing systems guarantee • High surface density with proper upstream planning • Uniform force distribution ensuring that cables are protected • Static benefits • Completely reliable sealing without additional sealing grease • Quick and easy installation • Multi-layer structure for best possible discrete material properties • No loose components

01 | Indvidual plug&play system technology solution 02 | For safety reasons, the rotor locking module from HAWE Hydraulik has to be operated with two hands 03 | Braking module with zero-leakage 3-waypressure control valve

HAWE Hydraulik offers hydraulic controls for wind turbines. These controls are available as modular units and with components “from the construction kit”. For manufacturers of wind turbines this provides highquality but cost-attractive solutions. The modular construction also meets manufacturers’ demands for technical flexibility combined with ease of handling. Modular construction means that each hydraulic function is presented in a module, for example for the rotor brake, tower rotation brake, rotor blocking, as well as for the pitch adjustment of the rotor blades, nacelle roof opening or for permanently installed on-board handling cranes. The function modules are mounted on a valve control block which only includes pressure reducing valve and pressure resistant filter and provides facility for connecting the hydraulic consumers. This is built directly onto the hydraulic power pack. It is possible to add or remove functions retroactively without great effort. 02

because the machine and equipment have to be mounted only once. For erecting wind turbines with a hub height of 110 m or more in low-wind areas, Liebherr now also offers specially developed tower cranes with lifting loads of currently up to 125 t. They are mounted on the wind turbine and are configured in a way that the necessary lifting height can be reached by guying the crane to the mast at one point only. Liebherr has convincing solutions for the erection of offshore wind turbines, too. Heavy duty cranes from Liebherr for offshore applications are able to lift up to 3,000 t. When it comes to offshore cranes,

all customer requirements can be met: Diesel or electrical drive units, explosionprotected cranes and cranes for ambient temperatures between +40 °C and -50 °C and special hoisting situations at altitudes of up to 3,400 m below sea level. Liebherr cranes are not only used successfully for the construction of offshore wind turbines, but also on oil and gas platforms, for offshore construction, pipe-laying or subsea operations. Portrait of the Liebherr Group The Liebherr family business was established in 1949 by Hans Liebherr. The great success of his first mobile tower crane was the foundation on which the company flourished. Today the group of companies

employs a workforce of more than 38,000 in more than 130 companies worldwide. The Liebherr Group’s holding company is Liebherr-International AG in Bulle, Switzerland, entirely owned by members of the Liebherr family. The family business in the hands of the second generation is jointly managed by siblings Isolde Liebherr and Willi Liebherr. Sophie Albrecht, Jan Liebherr, Patricia Rüf and Stéfanie Wohlfarth have been actively involved in the management of individual divisions as representatives of the third generation since 2012 in order to help set the company’s course for the future.

The innovative oil filter module, filters, spin-on cartridges and filter elements by MAHLE are used for oil filtration and cooling in gear transmissions, for example. MAHLE also offers a portable particle contamination measuring system and a sampling case, which makes maintenance works on the filter systems easier. MAHLE has developed an oil separator specifically for the separation of oil from surface water on offshore transformer stations. It continually separates oil, emulsions and dispersions from the water, without backwashing or chemicals.

A highlight of the portfolio is the newly developed off-line oil filter module Pi 8400 for superfine filtration and water absorption. It is a connection-ready module for all gear and lubricating oils based on mineral oil. A high degree of efficiency and streamlined components guarantee minimal performance losses, the filter elements (filter rating 3 μm) offer very high separation rates (guaranteed according to the ISO 16889 multipass test) and additional water absorption. The gear pump runs at very low vibration and noise levels and has good suction characteristics. A pressure gauge is used for monitoring the filter elements and as a maintenance indicator. In bypass mode, superior oil cleanliness codes per ISO 4406/1999 of up to 14/12/9 and better can be achieved with

these filter modules and the MAHLE PS filter elements. The newly developed off-line oil filter module Pi 8400 for wind turbines is just one

example of MAHLE’s high-quality filter solutions. They all offer the highest reliability, availability and operational safety, and are suitable for new turbines, onshore and offshore turbines and for repowering.

By developing, planning and constructing a new generation of high performance wind energy systems, Max Bögl – one of the leading producers of fabricated products in Germany – is rising to the challenge of the energy revolution and the expansion of renewable energy sources. Working with its in-house steel and plant engineering and research and development divisions, the company has been realising hybrid wind turbines in combined pre-stressed concrete and steel constructions with substantially higher efficiency and energy yields at inland locations since 2010. Today, Max Bögl Wind AG supplies different versions of the hybrid tower to leading manufacturers of wind energy systems for hub heights of 123 to 143 m.

Expertise in the precision construction of finished products The drive and motivation for developing tower structures for wind energy systems in the multi-megawatt segment resulted from the company’s considerable expertise in the construction and manufacturing of high-precision concrete components. Constructed in a purely dry way, the concrete rings can be combined with each other in a modular system. In this context the concrete rings are placed on top of each other in ‘dry joins’ without mortar or a smoothing layer. After the so-called adapter piece is fitted as the top section of the concrete tower, the external tendons, anchored in the adapter, are tensioned with the foundation base. After this pre-stressing, the steel shaft is mounted as the top of the tower as well as the nacelle and rotor blades. Innovative foundations to ensure a secure position To redirect wind and weight loads safely to the ground, the hybrid tower has circular in-situ concrete foundations. The highest requirements in terms of precision also apply to the cladding tubes holding the wire strands, as well as the grouting groove supporting the first prefabricated ring element. To enable use of a revolving tower crane for constructing the tower from its concrete and steel components, the ring foundation is statically and structurally designed so the base point of the crane is positioned directly on the foundations. 02 | With perfectly coordinated manufacturing and construction techniques, Max Bögl realizes innovative hybrid towers out of pre-stressed concrete and steel for high-performance wind energy systems

Assembly techniques for every place of operation The factory construction guarantees the high quality and precision of the components and therefore the rapid construction of the hybrid towers. The company’s transport and devices division ensures comprehensive construction site logistics and safe transport of the concrete and steel components to their location irrespective of distance. The assembly of the individual segments using lifting equipment customized to the location is completed by a qualified assembly team. Apart from crawler cranes and one of the biggest telescopic cranes in the world, revolving tower cranes are also used. With just one single anchor to the wind turbine at the height of the transition piece, these cranes grow higher with the tower, reaching a maximum hook height of over 150 m. This specially developed and patented assembly process enables problem-free crane operations at wind speeds up to 20 m / sec – a real advantage in woodland locations. Full range of products and services To minimise the interfaces between technological areas and building stages, Max Bögl Wind AG extends beyond the standard services of foundations, prefabricated concrete and steel towers, extending to the full construction of individual wind energy s ystems and the turnkey construction of wind farms. This includes roadways, preparing the site before and after tower assembly, constructing the foundation pit including the required foundation systems, laying the cabling, assembling components provided by the client, and much more. Max Bögl can also provide support in selecting the suppliers of mechanical and electrical components, involving local businesses, and matters regarding transport, transport routes, surfacing and paving work, site facilities, enclosures and water management.

Siemens AG 2. Intelligent standardization based on proven platforms Within the scope of intelligent standardization, no complex customized products are required to address wind- and manufacturerspecific requirements. We employ platform strategies and use components and harmonized systems that have proven themselves hundreds of thousands of times in harsh industrial environments. They can be combined in such a way that the relevant specification is precisely complied with. It goes without saying that we consistently observe industrial standards, machine guidelines and safety regulations. Our customers benefit from 1. Maximum reliability with minimum life cycle costs Our products and systems interact perfectly with one another and thus increase plant transparency and availability. They communicate seamlessly across all levels – from the HMI terminal up to the SCADA system. As a consequence, all of the wind turbines can be consistently monitored and optimally controlled. Even in extreme situations, fast and targeted response in order to avoid damage to the plant is possible. Downtimes for carrying out repair work can be minimized or even completely eliminated through preventive and predictive maintenance and servicing concepts. We offer customer-oriented services with our global service network, which is available to you 24/7, 365 days a year. The standard portfolio includes, among others, remote maintenance, servicing, spare parts logistics and online support.

Wind Industry in Germany

The perfect interaction of the standardized products and systems is ensured through extensive systems tests of the hardware and software at an early stage. This means that complex system tests for the customer are not necessary. Uniform engineering tools reduce overheads for programming and commissioning and minimize the risk of faults. One example is the Industry Library with wind-specific blocks in which 80 % of all functions of a wind turbine plant are stored. 3. Competitive advantages in series production Increasing competition and cost pressure mean that the wind sector must sustainably optimize its development and manufacturing processes. Our portfolio supports you in the transition to optimized series production with our hardware and software, including standardized modular systems for your platform strategies, reduced com-

ponent variance and industry-compatible logistics and support processes. Future automation concepts for the manufacture of wind turbines will benefit from product life cycle management software: it optimizes the layout of turbine production already during the planning phase. This allows saving potential to be exploited at an early stage and avoids bottlenecks in later production. Furthermore, our software ensures transparency over the entire life cycle. It is the sole data source for all product and process knowledge in turbine production. New wind turbines are developed and modified with special design software. A wide range of simulation options help you to correctly evaluate scenarios and replace turbine prototypes which are expensive and complex to produce. As a result of the time saved, the wind turbines can be brought to market faster. Dependable partner for the future We are an experienced and dependable partner for all products, systems and solutions for the electric drive train, automation and energy distribution in wind turbine plants. Our decades of unique expertise in industrial automation make us the world’s leading supplier. This expertise is now directly incorporated in our range of solutions and products for the wind sector.

Wind Industry in Germany

Wind technology manufacturers and their suppliers have had a strong – and continually expanding – presence at HANNOVER MESSE for many years. The wind industry display category grew to such an extent, in fact, that in 2009 the organizers decided to turn it into a standalone flagship fair under the HANNOVER MESSE umbrella. The Wind fair is held in odd-numbered years and ranks as one of the world’s leading trade fairs for wind generation technology, components and services. It owes its success in no small measure to the unique synergies resulting from its location alongside allied HANNOVER MESSE flagship shows, such as the Industrial Automation, MDA, Surface Technology and Industrial Supply fairs, and, above all, the Energy fair, which is the biggest of its kind worldwide. Anyone exhibiting in Hannover benefits from being in the limelight of worldwide political and public

attention. More than one third of the 220,000 trade visitors who attended HANNOVER MESSE in 2011, 50,000 coming from abroad, came specifically to see the exhibits on show at Wind. In 2013, the Wind fair will once again be located in Hall 27. As the Hannover Exhibition Center’s largest building, Hall 27 has the capacity needed to cater for the dynamic growth that has characterized the Wind show in recent years. And its close proximity to the Energy show in halls 12 and 13 means added convenience for trade visitors and valuable synergies for exhibitors. HANNOVER MESSE is all about creating synergy potential, fostering international and interdisciplinary dialogue, and paving the way for new business. The Wind fair is a firmly established, integral part of this winning formula and will be back for its third season from 8 to 12 April 2013.

DONG Energy Renewables Germany GmbH DONG Energy has been planning, building and operating offshore wind farms for over 20 years. Currently active in Denmark and the UK, the construction of the first German project starts in 2013 with Borkum Riffgrund 1.

London Array, Anholt, Gunfleet Sands – these are just some of the names of DONG Energy offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas. By now the market leader has installed over 1.3 GW offshore and has carried out more projects than anyone else. DONG Energy gains expertise and skills from every new construction, as everything comes from one source: planning, approval, construction, as well as service and maintenance of the wind farm. With a precise construction pipeline, DONG Energy builds at least one offshore wind farm every year. Investment partner The Danish company was the first to open wind farms to investors. This means that hardly any other companies in the sector have so much experience with different investment partnerships. Whether financial investors, industrial or energy supply companies, the different investment models are just as different as the partners.

Borkum Riffgrund 1 The first German wind farm from DONG Energy is called Borkum Riffgrund 1. A total of 77 wind turbines with a total rated output of around 277 MW cover the annual energy requirements of 285,000 households when converted. Other projects are in the planning stage and will also contribute to the German energy transition. The extension of offshore wind energy is a part of the Danish energy company’s strategy: By 2040, 85 percent of national energy and heat production are to come from renewable energy sources in order to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. At the same time, this conversion also entails a shift away from coal energy production. By 2020, 50 percent of demand is already intended to be produced from renewable sources. A big challenge, but also a lot of opportunities for future-oriented growth.

INNOVATIVE, ECOLOGICAL, TOGETHER GEWI AG – YOUR PARTNER FOR DIRECT MARKETING

GEWI AG is an ecological, independent energy provider with many years of experience in the energy industry. Together with our customers, we develop individualized, innovative and need-based solutions involving the marketing of electricity from renewable energy sources. In doing so, we concentrate largely on wind energy plants. Here GEWI AG is currently focusing its marketing efforts on the optional market premium, which is at present the most attractive form of direct marketing for us. The revision of the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) in 2012 gives plant operators the possibility of using the market premium model to integrate their energy directly into the market as our partners. This offers you the advantage of obtaining fixed additional revenues and thus a compensation package guaranteed by the EEG bonus. Moreover, our contracts based on the market premium model are convincing because they are low in risk and transparent. Within the scope of direct marketing, we incorporate the generated quantities into our accounting grid and market the electricity on the electricity exchange. In addition

to a power generation forecast that is as accurate as possible, we will also take over coordination with grid operators. Upon request, we will work together with you to achieve the control features that will let you get the bonus for remotely curtailing production. We think this procedure makes sense, especially if you should consider making your power generation more flexible in the future, by taking part in balancing markets, for instance. Another service we now offer you is self-supply of final customers. We are your competent partner on an equal footing with yourselves and would be happy to work together to develop innovative, customized solutions. Please get in touch with us at any time!

Following completion, we additionally offer a comprehensive service package, including detailed monitoring alongside commercial and technical operational management.

Creating energy reserves - Power to gas The key to 100 % renewable energy sources lies in the development of intelligent hydrogen-based storage schemes. Wind power can be converted into wind gas today using the production-ready electrolysis process developed by our subsidiary H-TEC. This gas can then be burned as an “energy gap filler” when required - for instance in the combined heat and power plant (CHP) of a biogas plant. We are currently completing a prototype for this combination.

In the 90s, KVN started erecting wind turbines; these works were initially restricted to the Osnabrück / Emsland region. As this sector developed, so too did KVN’s willingness to invest and its field of expertise. Ever since then KVN has provided its customers with mobile cranes and heavy load equipment for onshore projects in Germany and around Europe, and can look back at successful operations in Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Sweden and Wales.

KVN – a company in the Heiner Brinkhege corporate group – has been a member of the German WindEnergy Association (BWE) for many years and also actively promotes the industry’s interests as a constituent member of the “Wind power” committee of the German Federal Working Group Heavy Haulage and Crane Work (BSK).

The foundation of the subsidiary company KVN Sud-Est Europe SRL with its headquarters in Timisoara in 2009 created the necessary conditions for serving the emerging Romanian market and being “on location” for future projects in Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia.

Husum is known throughout the world as the cradle of the modern wind industry, and HUSUM Wind has been the industry’s most important international trade fair for almost a quarter of a century. One of the great advantages Husum has over its competitors is its location. Situated on Germany’s North Sea coast, the North Frisia region is home to several leading turbine manufacturers and an army of supply businesses, as well as training facilities for service and maintenance engineers. This means that visitors to HUSUM Wind can also visit nearby wind farms, manufacturers and associated industries to see innovation and technology in action – something it would be hard to do in the middle of some great metropolis. With 56,000 sq m of exhibition space for 1,200 exhibitors from 30 nations, and visitor numbers in excess of 30,000 from over 90 countries worldwide, HUSUM Wind 2014 (23 – 26

September) will once again be the meeting place for the wind industry’s movers and shakers, for old hands and new.

All work processes and procedures at More Energy are based on a strict and detailed system of quality management.

With an expected investment life of 20 to 25 years for wind turbines, the typical manufacturer’s guarantee of three years clearly does not provide a sufficient basis for the service and maintenance of a wind energy facility. To meet this need, wind farm owners and operators can make use of the support of the independent experts from more energy who offer customized services to meet individual customer requirements and are always available to provide immediate assistance.

Since 2012, direct marketing within the framework of the market bonus scheme has been offering wind park operators the possibility to market their electricity themselves or with the aid of a service-provider. By introducing this scheme, Germany has taken a key initial step towards a competitive market for renewable energies. As a partner in the market bonus scheme, as an expert in renewable energies and as a designer of the power station of the future, Statkraft supports its customers in positively designing the turnaround in energy policy. A strong and reliable partner As a partner to the operators, Statkraft markets wind energy as efficiently as possible on the power market. The goal is to generate renewable energies in line with the market and requirements. Apart from numerous opportunities, there are however some risks involved. These include the costs associated with prognoses, the stock exchange and accounting as well as all kinds of operative errors which Statkraft can safeguard for its customers in Germany by supporting more than 1,000 wind parks. Such collaboration enables wind park operators to steadily acquire new knowhow. The Statkraft marketing model On the basis of its experience and the size of its portfolio, Statkraft is a solid partner. The advantages of direct marketing with Statkraft at a glance: • Fixed revenues on fixed dates • Reliable handling • Individually adapted contract terms for maximum safety and stability

Technical extras for advanced partners Statkraft also sets standards when it comes to developing the market bonus scheme: the company offers its contract partners integration of their systems in an intelligent virtual power station. By nature, harnessing energy from the sun and wind is subject to major fluctuations. In order to coordinate demand and supply as well as possible, ways needed to be found to control the generation of wind power. The solution for this is represented by a virtual power station. With the “power station of the future” developed by Statkraft, system operators can adapt their production according to demand. To this aim, Statkraft merges independent production units to form a network. Thanks to digital control technology, system production can be regulated smoothly and within seconds, enabling over-production and negative prices to be avoided in Germany. Even balancing energy can be made available this way in order to compensate for fluctuations in the power grid practically in real time.

Successful curtailment in late 2012 indicated that renewable energies are capable of taking system responsibility if marketed efficiently. By reducing negative power prices, the market bonus scheme makes a key contribution towards the success of the turnaround in energy policy and helps to achieve millions of euros in reduced annual costs. In the future, it will also be possible to integrate industrial consumers and storage solutions in the virtual power station. And then the power station for energy of the future will be complete.

SL NaturEnergie Gruppe

Achieving the energy revolution together We cannot single-handedly bring about an energy revolution. That is why we combine our strengths – with partners such as municipalities, public utility companies and banks. Our goal is maximum local value creation and acceptance.

01 | Down to earth and strong in the region: Together with municipalities, regional utility providers and other local players SL NaturEnergie develops wind energy, and photovoltaic projects in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The energy revolution is a joint venture, and we put ourselves forward as a strong partner. We are able to bring to the partnership more than 16 years of experience in implementing wind energy and photovoltaic projects. Together with the knowhow from communities, public utility companies and banks, we form an effective team, securing the greatest possible project success and acceptance of local residents. You can rely on us in the long term, because for us loyalty and cooperation are vital pillars of a successful partnership. That is why our commitment goes far beyond the planning, capital procurement and construction of the turbines: we also take care of their operation and economic success. That is already the case for the 110 wind turbines and photovoltaic systems that we have implemented since 2000. Our loyalty also applies to our home of North Rhine-Westphalia: we are familiar with this area and we want to be active

here. With innovative projects, we want to multiply our previously installed total capacity of more than 100 MW in North Rhine-Westphalia – and to become active in social issues. With the newly formed SL NaturEnergie Foundation, we are channelling a fixed part of the energy yields from new turbines, as well as a few existing ones, into non-profit projects nearby. Our vision of the energy revolution in North Rhine-Westphalia is shaped by a holistic approach. We want to take citizens on this journey with us – especially financially. We engage people in the energy revolution on their own doorstep, which means that yields remain in the region and do not flow out to distant investors. We are also concerned with the marketing of renewable power, an area in which we have already had some experience, and are developing regional concepts. This is also a benefit for our local partners. 02

United we are strong – Based on this principle, Ventotec GmbH has been working successfully with ITEC International GmbH for over ten years. Together, this corporate alliance is able to cover the entire renewable energy spectrum.

The fact that Ventotec is taking innovative approaches here too was strikingly demonstrated in 2007. A portfolio to the order of around 250 million euros was successfully financed by securitisation in capital markets.

Helmer Stecker and Ralf Heinen have been instrumental in developing this area. In addition to their positions as Executive Directors of Ventotec GmbH, they are also responsible for managing the renewable energy alliance from Leer.

ITEC International GmbH (ITEC for short) specialises in the commercial and technical management of renewable energy projects. Founded in 2000, ITEC was originally responsible for the remote monitoring of wind power plants set up for GHF funds. Years of experience and in-depth expert knowledge of monitoring a wide range of system types have allowed the company to expand its own range of services. In addition to remote monitoring, ITEC began taking on the commercial and technical management of wind power plants outside its own company alliance at an early stage.

Years of expertise Ventotec GmbH was founded in 1998. Originally conceived as a traditional project developer, the company provides the whole range of services in the area of project planning. Over the last few years, the company has managed to successfully establish itself on the market as a vendor and marketer of renewable energy projects. Right at the start of this decade, Ventotec was able to skilfully manage foreign investors’ growing interest in renewable energy projects, thanks to its many years of experience in project planning for closed-end funds. Now Ventotec is much in demand as one of the main German providers of wind energy projects and is in constant contact with important institutional investors within Germany and abroad. Ventotec is also responsible for the associated project funding, the structuring and provision of which now count among its core competences.

The company now looks after a portfolio with a capacity of more than 520 megawatts, 90 % of which is for external clients. Prospects The company strategy is oriented towards expansion in the future too. For the coming years, Ventotec is planning new wind farms in Europe, e.g. in Spain, France and Poland, as well as onshore projects in Germany. In France, the first overseas wind farm initiated by Ventotec is already feeding power to the grid; other wind farms will follow here in the next few years. Planning permission for some of these is already in place and a number of the wind turbines for the new projects have already been ordered. As in the past, the world’s

leading manufacturer of turbines, the Danish company VESTAS, is one of the main suppliers for the wind farms planned by Ventotec. However, turbines made by GE Energy, Fuhrländer, Enercon and Nordex have also been used on a number of occasions. Intense exposure to an extremely wide variety of areas surrounding a renewable energy project continues to open up new opportunities for the company. So, for example, the area of repowering is becoming increasingly significant to the alliance. In 2010 a first Ventotec repowering project was sold to a Danish investor group as this project meets all the necessary requirements for obtaining the repowering bonus under § 30 of the German Renewable

Energies Act (EEG). In the near future, technical improvements of around 100 further megawatts are planned in Germany.

„Es gibt keine Alternative zum BWE.“

Klaus Schulze Langenhorst, Geschäftsführer der SL Windenergie GmbH und Vize des BWE-Landesverbands Nordrhein-Westfalen, hat sich für eine starke Interessenvertretung entschieden:

matlandkreis die Grünen-Partei mitgegründet und ein Jahr später die Flügel seines ersten Windrades aus den Brettern eines Wandschranks gezimmert hatte, lernte er Dietrich Koch kennen. Die beiden Männer verband sofort ein Thema. „Koch war bundesweit der erste private Betreiber, dessen Windkraftanlage ans öffentliche Stromnetz angeschlossen war“, sagt Bartelt. 1985 war es soweit – er und Koch gründeten mit weiteren Gleichgesinnten im Osnabrücker Land den „Interessenverband Windkraft Binnenland“. Damit legten sie den Grundstein für den späteren Bundesverband WindEnergie, der 1996 durch die Fusion mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Windenergie ins Leben gerufen wurde. Bartelt wurde erster Hauptgeschäftsführer des BWE und gestaltete rund sechs Jahre lang die Anfangsphase. „Die politische Einigung der Windbranche war enorm wichtig. Ich denke, es ist uns gelungen, die Kräfte zunächst in Bonn und später auch in Berlin und Brüssel zu bündeln“, erinnert sich Bartelt, der bis heute im BWEVorstand und im Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energien aktiv ist. Als wichtigste von ihm begleitete Verbandserfolge nennt er das Stromeinspeisungsgesetz von 1991, die Windkraft-Privilegierung von 1996, das EEG aus dem Jahr 2000 und den Sieg der regenerativen Davids gegen den Strom-Goliath und Eon-Vorgänger Preussen-Elektra vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof. Dabei wurde entschieden, dass die gesetzliche Abnahmepflicht der Elektrizitätsversorger zu Mindestpreisen keine unerlaubte staatliche Beihilfe im Sinne des EU-Vertrages darstellt. „Das war 2001, am 13. März, dem 18. Geburtstag meines Sohns David. Damals wurde mir klar, dass auch die Regenerativen jetzt erwachsen werden. Und diese für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung Deutschlands Mitverantwortung übernehmen müssen.“ Es erstaunt nicht, dass Bartelt im BWE seine Anlagen zu 100 Prozent gemeldet hat:

Er kennt die Urgewalt von Wind und Wetter. „Neben dem elterlichen Bauernhof im Teutoburger Wald stand dieser alte Nussbaum. Als Kinder kletterten wir dort hoch. Bis der von einem schweren Sturm auf unser Haus gedrückt wurde.“ Rund 40 Jahre ist das her. Heinrich Bartelt erzählt, als wäre es gestern geschehen. Genauso hat er die autofreien Sonntage von 1973 gut in Erinnerung – und die spätere Katastrophe von Tschernobyl. Eindrücke, die seine Überzeugung prägten: „Wir brauchen keine Energie-Riesen, keine Kohlekraft und kein Uran. Das Wetter um uns herum hat unglaubliche Kräfte, in jeder Region. Und es kann unser Kraftwerk sein.“ Energiewende und 100 Prozent Erneuerbare, das sind bei Bartelt keine leeren Worte. Wohl am meisten wünscht sich der 55-Jährige mehr Demokratie und Mittelstandsbeteiligung im Energiesektor. Dass all dies machbar ist, zeigt sich für ihn in dem Städtchen Dardesheim (Sachsen-Anhalt), wo er sich für die regenerative Zukunft engagiert. Schon zu Wendezeiten knüpfte Heinrich Bartelt als Anlagenverkäufer gute Kontakte in die Region. Eigentlich war es der bloße Zufall. „Ich hatte 1988 nahe der deutschdeutschen Grenze ein Projekt betreut, das man in Sachsen-Anhalt sehen konnte. Und es erregte dort ebenfalls Interesse“, berichtet Bartelt, der Anfang der 90er Jahre von

auftragt wurde – ein Pionierprojekt, das zur Initialzündung wurde. 1995 errichtete Bartelt gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Josef und weiteren Partnern dort drei Windkraftanlagen, 2004 wurde der Windpark Druiberg eröffnet. Heute liefern die Mühlen im Schnitt jährlich 130 Millionen Kilowattstunden Strom. Dazu kommen Solar- und Biomasseanlagen. „Dardesheim ist heute zu 100 Prozent regenerativ. Der Stadtrat hat unser Engagement von Anfang an unterstützt“, sagt Bartelt. 2006 beschloss die Kommune, mit dem Logo „Stadt der erneuerbaren Energie“ aufzutreten. Doch das reicht ihm nicht. Seine Vision: Ein regeneratives Kombikraftwerk, das künftig den Landkreis Harz mit seinen 240 000 Menschen zu 100 Prozent mit erneuerbarer Energie versorgt, könnte Vorbildfunktion für andere Regionen haben. Das Rüstzeug zur Umsetzung hat Bartelt sich über die Jahre hinweg erworben. Nachdem er 1978 in seinem niedersächsischen Hei-
