No Evidence Found for "Wind Turbine Syndrome" Best practice and community involvement maximize wind power benefits ◆World Wind Energy Association (WWEA)

T

he Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection

and the Massachusetts

Department of Public

Health published recently

a scientific study on health impacts of wind

turbines. The study was undertaken by a

panel of independent experts “to identify any

documented or potential health impacts of

risks that may be associated with exposure to

wind turbines, and, specifically, to facilitate

discussion of wind turbines and public health

based on scientific findings”.

No scientific evidence could be found

that the so called “wind turbine syndrome”

exists. However, the authors suggests that

negative attitude against wind turbines should

be mitigated by best practices as successfully

implemented in many parts of the world. Such

best practices in wind farm planning should

include proper siting, provision of information

and community involvement, all of which can

minimize negative impacts and maximize

benefits from wind power.

Stefan Gsänger, WWEA Secretary

General: “In most countries using wind power

today, wind farms enjoy a very high degree

of public support and it is often rather the

local population that wants more wind power

and pushes politicians to support it as well.

Unfortunately there are some places where

misleading and wrong information is spread,

especially on health impacts of wind turbines. According to the Massachusetts health

study, people’s positive attitude towards wind

farms in their neighborhood mainly depends

on their level of information and involvement.

Previous scientific studies have demonstrated

that community-based wind farms lead to

significantly higher level of social acceptance.

Hence WWEA has identified community

involvement as a key for the success of wind

power and will organize the next World Wind

Energy Conference with the special theme The full report from Massachusetts can be found at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/energy/

“Community Power - Citizens’ Power” in order to discuss appropriate business models.” Hon. Peter Rae AO, WWEA Special

Ambassador External Relations: “Surveys

worldwide show strong support for renewable

energy development and, in particular, for wind

power. In Australia a just published comprehensive multi state survey showed 80% public support for wind power. On the subject of health, the

Australian Clean Energy Council has pointed to a statement just issued by the Climate and Health Alliance, a coalition representing groups such

as the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Australian Psychological Society. This

statement also underlined that renewable energy such as wind power provides a safe alternative to

fossil fuels. A Parliamentary inquiry found no basis for a conclusion that adverse health impacts arise

from wind turbine operation. The support for wind farms is enhanced where communities can rely

upon the wind generators following the principles

of the ‘Guidelines for Sustainable Development of wind power’ which WWEA published more than six years ago."

World Market Recovers and Sets a New Record 42 GW of new capacity in 2012, worldwide total capacity at 239 GW Emerging markets are taking the lead, stagnation in several industrialized countries ◆World Wind Energy Association (WWEA)

T

he world market for wind

turbines set a new record in the year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt,

after 37,6 Gigawatt in 2010.

According to the preliminary data gathered by WWEA and published on the occasion of the

3rd WE20 by 2020 conference in Coimbatore/ India, the total capacity worldwide has come

close to 239 Gigawatt, enough to cover 3 % of the world's electricity demand.

Amongst the individual countries, China

kept its strong position and reached a similar market size like in the previous year 2010:

China installed around 18 GW of new wind

turbines within 2011, coming to a total capacity of 63 GW, more than one fourth of the global

wind capacity. The second largest market for

new wind turbines was again the USA with 6,8 GW, followed by India (2,7 GW), Germany (2

GW) and a surprisingly strong Canada with 1,3

GW of new installed capacity. Spain, France and Italy added each around 1 GW.

Eastern Europe: Greece increased its capacity

rom 1208 MW in 2010 to 1627 MW by end of 2011, Turkey from 1274 MW to 1799

MW, Poland from 1179 MW to 1616 MW,

Romania from 591 MW to 826 MW, and the

Ukraine almost doubled its wind capacity from

87 to 151 MW.

Also several Latin American countries

have shown encouraging growth, e.g. Mexico which also almost doubled its wind capacity from 521 MW to 929 MW.

A strong increase in wind power

utilization can be observed especially in the

emerging markets. This opens new windows for further growth, as these countries do

have an increasing need for electricity which can be matched by wind power in a very

economic, safe and timely way. On the other

hand, several of the major European markets showed stagnation or even decrease. The US

market presented itself stronger than in 2010, however, the mid-term prospects are not very bright, due to a lack of clarity regarding the

political support schemes. In Canada, especially Ontario with its Green Energy Act, adopted as a consequence of the WWEC2008, made sure

that the country now finds itself as number five in terms of new capacity.

WWEA President Dr. He Dexin: “Wind

power has become - as a low-cost, low-risk

and non-polluting energy option - a pillar of the energy supply in many countries. These countries have been able to create new

With the fast growth of China wind power

installation, there are four Chinese wind

turbine manufacturers entered global top 10 in 2011 in terms of newly installed capacity,

namely Goldwind, Sinovel, United Power and

Mingyang. And Dongfang, XEMC and SEWIND are also among the top 15 in 2011. In the

meantime, Chinese manufacturers were also expanding international business. In 2011,

China has exported 220 MW wind turbines,

almost 15 times bigger than that of 2010, and

the leading enterprise Goldwind exported 124

wind turbines to the USA, Ecuador and Ethiopia which equaled to 189 MW.

THE SITUATION OF WIND POWER IN INDIA â—†Anil Kane & Anagha Bhambri,India

Wind Energy Scenario Wind power has been the poster child

of India’s renewable energy programme. Data

released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy shows that between 1990 and 2011

about 13,000 MW wind power capacity was

added in India, propelling it to fifth position

among the wind power producing countries.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set a target of adding 15,000 MW of new wind

power capacity during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17).

The potential States for development

20

of wind power include Tamil Nadu, Gujarat,

Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala. Besides this, wind assessment is also underway in Uttarakhand; the State recently got its first wind power plant installed.

Indian Wind Energy Association has

estimated the Indian Wind Energy potential far more than 100 Gigawatt, recent studies see it even at 2000 to 3000 Gigawatt.

Offshore: Apart from this, the offshore

wind power potential has not yet been

measured. The sites that qualify for prospective offshore wind farming are the Gulf of Mannar

a recent development, Suzlon has firmed up

plans to set up an offshore wind power plant in Technology-wise: Over the years, India

has experienced a gradual shift to bigger wind

turbines as a result of improved infrastructure and better economics. The average size of a

wind turbine has increased from 0.77 MW in 2004 to 1.12 MW in 2009 and the MW-class turbines now comprise over half of the new

wind power capacity installed in the country. This development is also leading many wind farm owners to consider re-powering of old

wind power plants as an option to maximize utilization of available resource potential on

land. Since most of the Class I sites have been explored, developers are left with putting

up wind farms in Class II and Class III sites. Designing a wind project on such sites

and achieving higher generation remains a

challenge. Besides, acquisition of private land, obtaining forest clearances, development of infrastructure on complex terrains,

implementation of evacuation infrastructure,

scheduling and forecasting generations are

some of the challenges faced by this sector in

Manufacturing segment: The favourable

policy framework coupled with low manpower cost, raw material availability, and vast market

potential resulted in significant growth of wind turbine manufacturing in the country. The

presence of a number of WTG manufacturers,

ranging from international WTG manufacturers like Vestas and Enercon, GE, Goldwind, Sinovel etc. and emergence of domestic wind turbine manufacturers such as Suzlon and Bharat

Heavy Electricals Ltd helped accelerate growth of the wind sector. The country presently has a

manufacturing capacity of 10,000 MW between 18 manufacturers. However, most of the

critical components such as control systems,

generators and gearboxes are still imported by a majority of manufacturers.

private sector players. The growth in the

support, preferential feed-in tariff and tax sops. Government of India such as the Generation-

tariffs are attracting investment from global and local independent power producers. To

simplify its existing tax regime, the government

has introduced the Goods and Service Tax (GST) and the Direct Tax Code (DTC) Bill 2010. Both the DTC Bill and GST will become applicable from April 2012.

The support schemes for wind energy provided for at the Central government and State level are mentioned below: 1. Central Government Generation-based Incentive (GBI) –

Agency), is over and above the tariff approved by respective SERC and will be disbursed on a half-yearly basis.

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – The trading of Renewable Energy Certificates

(RECs), one of the key growth drivers for the renewable energy industry, started in India

in March 2011. The RECs were introduced to enable all States to buy a certain proportion

of their total power purchase from renewable resources.

Wind Energy Legislation

The Electricity Act, 2003 was instrumental

in the development of renewable energy.

It repealed all the earlier electricity acts of

1910, 1948 and 1998 and further defined the role of regulatory commissions in terms of

pricing, competition and transparency. The

Act provides for several enabling provisions

to promote power generation from renewable energy sources such as:

Section 61 (h) – It provides for the

framework for tariff determination and lays out directions for the formulation of the National Tariff Policy.

Section 86 (1)(e) – It mandates SERCs

to specify a percentage of RE power to be

procured for consumption, and provide suitable measures for grid connectivity.

National Electricity Policy 2005

Some of the provisions which are used to

promote power generation from Renewable energy sources are:

Open Access: As per the Electricity Act

2003, anybody can have an “open access” to grid for exchange of power with payment of necessary charge for use of the grid

infrastructure. In the case of wind power, the power can be wheeled for own consumption and sold to another consumer.

Banking: Since power generation from

wind energy is variable, there is mismatch

in generation and consumption if the power is used for self consumption or sold to any

utility. In such a scenario, the energy generated

“banked” with the utility and used whenever the consumption is more than the generation. Mechanisms for

treatment of such

banked energy differ in every State, with the banking period

extending from 1 month to 1 year. At the end of

the banking period the

full or part of the surplus energy is considered as sale to the utility.

Indian Electricity

Grid Code

The Union Government adopted the

Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) in May 2010 to provide for detailed guidelines on the role of various players involved in the operation

of a power system. For the promotion of wind power, IEGC 2010 has made forecasting and

scheduling of wind and solar power generation mandatory with effect from January 2012.

In addition to this, IEGC 2010 incorporates

special provision for managing generation from variable sources like wind and solar power while ensuring grid security. Small Wind Turbines

The government of India also has a Small

Wind Energy and Hybrid Systems Programme in place since 1994. The programme

implementation was extended in April 2010 to

the financial year 2011-12. The government set a target of installing 500 kW aero-generated/ wind-solar hybrid systems and 25 water

pumping windmills with estimated budget of INR 50 million over 2010-12.

Community Wind in North America The seminal research on community wind

development in the USA was conducted by

Mark Bolanger for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) in 2001. The report

focused on how community wind was being developed in Europe and described various

approaches to its implementation in the USA. Since then, Bolanger has tracked community wind development in the USA and his data

appears in annual assessments of wind growth in the USA by LBNL.

The most recent assessment by LBNL

on wind development in the USA is for 2010.

Bolanger calculated that only 2% of the 40,000 MW in operation at the end of 2010, or 715 MW, was community-owned.

total of community-owned wind reaches 5% of cumulative wind capacity in the USA.

In addition, there are between 100 and

150 MW of small wind turbines that may be in

service in the USA. Because most if not all small wind turbines are used in applications that

might qualify as community power, small wind

There is even less community wind in

Canada than in the USA. There is essentially one 600 kW WindShare turbine developed by the

Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative. Thus, only 0.01% of wind capacity in Canada meets

the traditional definition of community wind.

Community Solar PV in North America

Solar PV is even more modular than wind

energy and is well suited to extremely small

projects in distributed applications, such as on residential rooftops. Historically, most solar PV in North America has been installed on

residential rooftops. However, that has begun to change as solar PV has become more costeffective.

Under California’s Solar Initiative, two-

thirds of solar PV has been installed on

residential rooftops. This portion of the market owned locally will undergo dramatic change in the next two to three years as massive centralstation solar PV power plants are brought on line in California.

In contrast to California, New Jersey’s

solar program has always been oriented toward commercial development, and residential

applications are merely a byproduct. In New 28

The market for solar PV outside New

rooftops. That is expected to change.

It is likely that two-thirds of all the solar

PV in the USA has been installed on residential rooftops and would qualify as locally-owned and, therefore, as community solar.

Of the nearly 4,000 MW of solar PV

installed in the USA by the end of 2011, only 2 MW was collectively or cooperatively owned.

This represents less than 1% of total installed US solar PV capacity.

While Ontario, Canada has the most

favorable policy environment for community solar in North America, very little has been

installed since the province’s Feed-in Tariff program went into effect in late 2010.

Currently only 4 MW of the solar PV

developed in Ontario, or less than 1% of total solar PV installed in Canada, qualifies for the province’s definition of community power.

Near-Term Prospects for Community Power in North America

extent community solar, has lagged behind that

What is small wind? Where is the

boundary between small wind and large wind?

The de�inition of small wind is the utmost

urgent matter to be discussed and agreed upon in the industry. The word ‘small’ in the wind

industry has been and remains vague and everchanging. The lack of a credible unanimous

de�inition and casual practice of the industry

has formed a term that describes wind turbines with a rated capacity of 6 watt to as large as

300 kW.

Small wind was originally de�ined by

electricity for house appliances or to cover

various household-based electricity demand.

One single 40 inch LED television on the

market today consumes approximately 200 W.

Assuming that a battery can completely �latten off the �luctuation in supply and demand, it is estimated that an 180 W turbine can

suf�iciently sustain the television to be turned on for 4 hours per day. (The 180 W turbine is assumed to be installed on a site with an average annual wind speed of 5 m/s.) An

average American family uses 11’496 kWh of

electricity yearly. Under the same assumptions,

Association, in cooperation with New Energy Husum, the German Small Wind Association BVKW and the German Wind Energy

Association BWE, were invited to the 3rd World Summit for Small wind, taking place in Husum, Germany, from 15-16 March 2012.

WSSW2012 took place during the

trade fair New Energy where 300 exhibitors presented all types of renewable energy

equipment, amongst them 70 exhibitors from

the small wind industry. Up to 20 000 visitors visited the trade fair. With this huge public attention, New Energy fair was the perfect

location for the 3rd World Summit for Small Wind.

WSSW2012 covered two main areas,

“Markets around the World” and “New standards for innovation”.

On day 1, speakers from all over the world

presented the most interesting markets for small wind turbines. Experts from Canada, 36

Korea, Spain, the UK, USA and Zimbabwe presented current status, prospects and countries.

As a highlight of the WSSW2012, WWEA

launched the first edition of the Small Wind

World Report 2012. Some of the key findings of

the report were:

- Almost 700 000 small wind turbines

have been installed worldwide.

- China is by far the largest market for

small wind, with 450 000 installed units, followed by USA.

- There are more than 330 companies

manufacturing small wind turbines,

disseminated over more than 40 countries, and most of them in China, USA, Germany, Canada and the UK.

The first day ended with a panel

discussion that identified the most promising key markets for small wind.

Day 2 was dedicated to “New standards

for innovation”: The day started with a keynote address on general challenges that the small wind industry faces all over the world. The

technical, economic and social standards in

order to foster innovation, increase confidence of investors, consumers and governments into this still young technology. Hence technical standards and certification schemes from

different parts of the world were presented, amongst them the international consumer

label as promoted by the International Energy Agency.

Also resource assessment as well as

approaches for establishing local small wind manufacturing in order to maximize local benefits were presented.

The second day concluded with a panel

discussion and the guiding question: “What are

the main challenges for small wind? Do current standards enhance innovation?”
