• Overview

• Overview

• Topograhic condition:

a. Hilly Plateau

b. 300 meters above sea level

c. Land used are either

purchased or leased from

private owners and rizal

provincial government.

• Overview

• First wind project under the Philippine Renewable Energy Act of 2008

that has been financed through non recourse project financing facilitated by

a consortium of 3 Philippine banks.

• Project is financed with 70:30 debt – equity ratio.

54 MW Pililla Wind Project

• Plant History

• October 2009, Wind Energy Service Contract (WESC) was awarded to APHC.

• October 2011, Alternergy declared commerciality.

• May 2013, Alternergy received from Dep. Of Energy (DOE)’s confirmation of commerciality for Pililla project.

• May 2014, Notice to Proceed (NTP) was given to contractors.

• March 2015, Substation and 115 Kv Transmission line was energized.

• June 2015, Declared Pililla wind project completed.

• Plant Descrption:

• Transmission line:

7 km – 115 Kv Transmission line

from Alternergy substation,

connected to 115 kv Malaya

– Teresa Transmission line

• Substation

2 units x 40 MVA Power Xfmr

(115/22.8 Kv )

Ring Bus system

( 3 units x SF6 PCB )

• Plant Description:

• 27 units of Wind Turbine Generator

Rated at 2 MW each WTG (690 VAC/

22.8 kV ), connected in 5 feeders.

• Total length of underground cable

is 12,970 Meters.

• Plant Description:

• Gamesa 2.0 MW WTG 1A

Hub Height : 78 Meters

Rotor diameter : 90 Meters

Tower Base: 3.78 Meters

Length of Blade: 44 Meters

• Major technical considerations for Pililla wind power project

1. Wind Resource Assessment Installed 60 Mtrs Meteorological Mast -1 last August, 2010 and March 2011 for Meteorological mast -2 . Minimum requirement of 1 year data collection with an average wind speed of 6 m/s. Based from the wind data gathered, Pililla project garnered an average of 36 kph.

2. Land Assessment / availability –

Purchased / leased option Access road – 10 meter width Use of geographical information system mapping to identify constraints such as houses, trees, rivers/ creeks. ( Cadastral and topographic map ) Tower foundations / platform preparations ( using 600 ton CC 2800 crawler crane ) for at least 1 hectare.

3. Grid accessibility – Identified transmission line route through desktop study /single line diagram from Meralco and NGCP and on site survey. Final confirmation of grid connection thru Distribution Impact study by Meralco and System Impact Study by NGCP. Interconnection agreement signed March, 2012 with Meralco. For the transmission line construction works, the following clearances were secured from: a. Department of Public Works and Highways b. Barangay Halayhayin c. Private land owners affected

4. Logistics –

From Manila Port via Road 10 (reverse traffic) - C3 – Sgt. Rivera – E. Rodriguez Aurora Blvd – Marcos Hwy Sampaloc Rd – Manila East Rd – Pililla WF Gate 1 . Rotor weight – 45 tons Nacelle weight – 72 tons Tower weight – 165 tons

Wind power in Southeast Asia and Philippines

Southeast Asia

1. Thailand – Targeting 1.2 GW of installed wind capacity by 2021 under its alternative energy development plan. Thai government subsidies wind power by supplementing the standard electricity tariff with ($.15/kwh) for projects below 50 MW. (from Windpowermonthly ) 2. Taiwan – Last 2012, installed 57 MW of new capacity, all onshore. (from Windpowermonthly) 3. Vietnam – Targeting 1 GW wind by 2020 and 6.2 GW by 2030. FIT rate was introduced in 2011. As of 2013, a total of 36 MW total installed capacity. (from Windpowermonthly)

4. Philippines – Presently, atleast 400 MW was commissioned from wind power. Considered as the wind power capital in Southeast Asia. Potential wind capacity of 2,345 MW by 2025 – DOE.

Where are the top 10 best locations for wind development in the world?

1. Brandenburg, Germany

2. Castile La Mancha, Spain

3. Castile and Leon, Spain

4. Lower Saxony, Germany

5. Inner Mongolia, China

6. Texas, United States

7. Iowa, United States

8. Saxony Anhalt, Germany

9. Galicia, Spain

10. Tamil Nadu, India

Why? 1. Feed In tariff 4. Tax Breaks

2. Government Support / Permit privileges

3. Excellent wind resource (Source:Windpowermonthly)
