1 WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS (WES) FOR POWER GENERATION Lecture By Prof S S Murthy 19 th Feb.2015 Silicon Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar National Workshop on Emerging Technologies in Electrical Engineering,

2 THERITICAL POTENTION of Renewable Energy

3 RENEWABLES ARE SOMETIMES DESCRIBED AS THE DREAMS OF THE 1970S, REALITIES BUT LUXURIES OF 2000, AND THE NECESSITIES OF 2020 AND THEREAFTER INCLUDE HYDROPOWER, BIOMASS, SOLAR, WIND, GEOTHERMAL AND OCEAN RESOURCES

4 RENEWABLE POWER CAPACITIES(GW) IN WORLD, EU -27, BRICS, AND TOP SIX COUNTRIES, 2012

5 ALL INDIA GENERATING INSTALLED CAPACITY (MW) (As on ) (source: CEA)

7 GE Wind Energy 1.5 MW Turbine WIND ENERGY

8 GRID CONNECTED WIND ENERGY SYSTEM CHITRADURGA-KAR

9 Global cumulative growth of wind power capacity

10 Global investment to 2050 (USD billion)

11 Progress in wind power since 2008

12 Global wind map, installed capacity and production for lead countries

13 Wind generation is significant In 2010 alone, new global wind power installations equaled the capacity of 66 large conventional power plants.

14 World Wind Energy Scenario TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF ONSHORE WIND ENERGY IS ABOUT TO TWH PER YEAR AGAINST THE TOTAL WORLD ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF TWH ECONOMIC POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON FACTORS LIKE AVERAGE WIND SPEED, STATISTICAL WIND SPEED DISTRIBUTION, TURBULENCE INTENSITIES AND COSTS OF WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS

15 WORLD WIND ENERGY SCENARIO AS ENERGY OF WIND IS PROPORTIONAL TO THIRD POWER OF WIND SPEED, ECONOMIC CALCULATIONS ARE SENSITIVE TO LOCAL AVERAGE WIND SPEED BECAUSE THE WIND ENERGY IS INTERMITTENT, WIND TURBINES MAINLY DELIVER ENERGY BUT VERY LITTLE CAPACITY. TYPICAL CAPACITY VALUES BEING OFTEN LESS THAN 20% OF INSTALLED WIND POWER

16 WINDIEST REGIONS, POTENTIAL COASTAL REGIONS OF AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, AUSTRALIASIA TOTAL RESOURCE IS VAST- ONE ESTIMATE PUTS IT AS A MILLION GW Even if only1% of area used with a low load factor of 15-40%, wind potential correspond to total capacity of all elec. Generating plants Offshore resource HUGE- capable of supplying all EU electricity without going further than 30km offshore.

17 World Wind Energy Scenario AS THE PENETRATION OF WIND TURBINES INCREASES THE PERCENTAGE FALLS FURTHER, REQUIRING EVEN MORE BACK UP POWER FOR A RELIABLE ENERGY SUPPLY IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRANSFORM WIND- GENERATED ELECTRICITY FROM INTERMITTENT TO BASE LOAD POWER IF IT IS COMBINED WITH COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE. THUS A HIGHER CAPACITY FACTOR CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH SMALL ECONOMIC PENALTY

18 World Wind Energy Scenario BY OPTIMIZING THE TURBINE CHARACTERISTICS TO THE LOCAL WIND REGIME, CAPACITY FACTOR CURRENTLY OFTEN AT 20-25% CAN BE OPTIMIZED WITHOUT LOOSING TOO MUCH ENERGY OUTPUT. HOWEVER EXTREME CAPACITY FACTORS OF ABOUT 40% AUTOMATICALLY MEAN A LARGE LOSS OF POTENTIAL ENERGY OUTPUT

19 World Wind Energy Scenario BECAUSE OF SCARCITY OF LAND IN URBAN CENTERS, THE COUNTRIES LIKE DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, UK AND SWEDEN ARE DEVELOPING OFFSHORE PROJECTS A UNDP STUDY ESTIMATES THAT AROUND 3000 TWH PER YEAR OF ELECTRICITY COULD BE GENERATED IN THE COASTAL AREAS OF EUROPEAN UNION

20 World Wind Energy Scenario: Wind Turbine Sizes THE CURRENT WIND ENERGY ERA BEGAN IN MID 1970S WITH A TYPICAL SIZE OF A WIND TURBINE OF 30 KW WITH A ROTOR DIAMETER OF 10 METERS THE LARGEST UNIT INSTALLED TODAY HAS A CAPACITY OF 1650 KW WITH A ROTOR DIAMETER OF 66 METERS

21 ATTRACTIVE WIND REGIONS Europe- North/West coasts, Mediterranean Asia- East coast, some inland areas Africa- North, Southwest coast North America- Most coastal regions, some mountainous central zones S. America- Best Towards south

22 Wind Energy Scenario TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF ONSHORE WIND ENERGY IS ABOUT TO TWH PER YEAR AGAINST THE TOTAL WORLD ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF TWH ECONOMIC POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON FACTORS LIKE AVERAGE WIND SPEED, STATISTICAL WIND SPEED DISTRIBUTION, TURBULENCE INTENSITIES AND COSTS OF WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS

23 World WIND ENERGY Scenario WIND ENERGY WAS USED AS A SOURCE OF POWER BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION DISPLACED BY FOSSIL FUELS BECAUSE OF COST AND RELIABILITY OIL SHOCKS OF 1970S SAW RENEWED INTERESTS IN WIND ENERGY FOR APPLICATIONS LIKE GRID- CONNECTED ELECTRICITY, WATER PUMPING AND POWER SUPPLY IN REMOTE AREAS

24 Wind Power Global Capacity,

25 Wind Power Capacity and additions, Top 10 Countries, 2012

26 Wind Turbine Suppliers Introduction Sinovel Nordex 3.4% 3.4% Goldwind 4.2% Acciona 4.4% Others Vestas 22.8% Siemens 7.1% GE Wind 16.6% Suzlon 10.5% Enercon 14.0% Gamesa 15.4% Top 10 wind turbine suppliers in 2007 Account for around 95% of the total supply in 2007 Asian manufacturers improve their shares (Goldwind & Sinovel in China, Suzlon in India) 26

27 Wind Power in India Estimated Potential as per CWET: GW Renewable share (31 GW) in overall Power Capacity (234 GW) amounts to more than 13% Share of Wind power generation in Indian Renewables is 65 %. India is fifth after USA, Germany, Spain, China NOTE: Only about 20% is the maximum utility factor of installed wind capacity based on local wind conditions.
