• Development of Turbine Sizes

• Repowering of existing systems

• Off-shore as the new frontier?

• Environmental aspects

• Small-scale applications

12 Summary WIND ENERGY


9© 2010 Macademia

The big topics in Wind Energy

• Development of Turbine Sizes - New dimension of forces working on turbine and foundations- Impact on life cycle, operational efficiency and reliability- Relatively little experience compared to other machine tool

industries - from 2.5 MW upwards (diameters >110 m)

212 Summary WIND POWER


10© 2010 Macademia

The big topics in Wind Energy

• Repowering with huge potential?

- Optimized in: design, efficiency, noise emissions, light reflection, et cetera

- The figures often quoted: half the number of turbines, twice the capacity, three times the output



11© 2010 Macademia

• Offshore as the new frontier?- Roughly twice the output of on-shore due to wind conditions- Foundations of up to 700 tonnes p. turbine, height of 150m +- The cost share of foundations (up to 1/3 of total costs)- Logistically a completely different story to on-shore- Cooperation crucial (public-private partnerships; international

cooperation; grid system)
