Harnessing the wind

Wind power in Nikeweritiya, Sri Lanka

Practical Action South Asia is developing reliable and cost effective wind energy systems for

charging batteries to help meet the electrical energy needs of rural Sri Lankans who do not have

access to the national grid.

More than 70 percent of people in Sri Lanka live in poor rural

areas, far beyond the reach of the national grid and often miles

from the nearest kerosene seller. People face untold hardship

every day - and even lethal danger - simply because they cannot

get the safe, clean, renewable energy they need.

For Weerasinghe, being without power was much more than an

inconvenience. It is a major source of poverty, preventing him

from working, stopping his children learning, and forcing him to

use up precious natural resources - as well as precious hours that

could be spent improving his life instead.

Before he started working with Practical Action, Weerasinghe

had no choice but to use energy sources that were either dangerous or hugely expensive in order

to get the basic light and heat he needed. The kerosene lamps he used for light were so notorious

for causing injuries, especially to children playing or doing their homework (kerosene burns are

a major cause of children being admitted to hospital in Sri Lanka). And the old car battery he

relied on for a little electricity cost more than eight dollars a month to recharge - a real fortune

when money is so scarce.

Weerasinghe now generates light from his own small wind turbine system. Living in Usgala

village in the south of Sri Lanka, Weerasinghe's life is hard indeed. Surviving on subsistence

farming, he grows just enough to feed his family with little to spare.

"It was wonderful! Straight away there was enough power to light a few light bulbs, so I could

work and the children could do their homework. I could charge up my own battery, and earn a

little money by charging up those of my friends and neighbours too."

Over the months, the pilot turbine project surpassed all expectations, generating power when

there was wind, and storing it for calmer days. Simple - and self-sufficient too. Villagers are

trained to do all the installation and maintenance work themselves, and the turbine parts are

made by local people, from local materials.

"Some people feel like they belong to the society ... they say that they are not alone

any more because they have light."

PANGEAs growth is multi-dimensional. The year 2010 saw our small, shared office space in downtown Brussels grow to encompass an entire

corner of a dynamic incubator for environmental organisations located in the heart ofBrussels European Quarter. Sharing space with those with

whom we share common goalsand with those whom we must challenge to see the true benefits of bioenergy in Africahas empowered us to

become stronger in both tangible and intangible ways.

During 2010, we became one of the first green NGOsand perhaps the only oneto have two full-time interns specifically focused in the

European Parliament. Every committee meeting related to environment, trade, agriculture, energy and development has a PANGEA intern sitting

in attendance, taking fastidious notes for our membership. The events they attend and the workshops in which they participate help us to not only

grow our name in Brusselspeople see PANGEA everywhereit also enhances the development of our expertise. We are that much more

capable of determing how best to advise on policy decisions when consulted by the European Commission (as we often are) or when an issue

arises where we must take a positionsuch as the food and fuel competition debate or Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC).

Our paid staff has grown as well, with three full-time staff members manning different aspects ofPANGEAs day-to-day activities ranging from

policy development and analysis to membership outreach and development to communication. As our expertise, our staff and our facilities have

expanded, so has our communication: we are on Facebook(become a fan!) and Twitter (@pangea_link); our network management is more

sophisticated as is our newsletter, membership and website tracking. We are collecting and analyzing ever-increasing amounts of data to make

certain that we are satisfying the industrys development needs.

As the needs of our membership grow, so do the services offered by PANGEA. Beyond communications, workshops and event management,

lobbying and networking, our premium members are asking for specificproductsand we are delivering. From reports exploring policy

developments and competitors in a potential investment market to making connections with the European Parliament in Brussels and hosting their

events, we are producing results in every arena.

Some things never change

What became clear in 2010 was that some challenges require long-term planning, continual

attention, and persistent solutions. The two that come first to mind are Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) and the Food and Fuel competition

debate. A third is the continued stream of misinformation in the press about both of those issues.

In fact, it is this issue of misinformation that seems to be more of the roadblock to progress than either ILUC or feedstock competition. It is such

a significant issue, that the University of Essex published a scholarly article last summer in Sociological Research Onlineexamining the influence

these anti-biofuels NGOs have had on the biofuels debate in Europe: We found that in many cases the development of NGO policy has been

driven more by narrow political opportunities for influence than by broader and more coherent policy responses to global climate change or

economic development, or indeed rigorous assessment of the scientific evidence.

With the millions of euros behind these NGOs and their anti-biofuels agendasome of those millions coming directly from the European

Commissions fund for environmental NGOs budgetsthe question becomes how can a growing, young organisation like PANGEA ever hope to

get sensible policy in Europe let alone develop a market for Africas sustainable biofuel exports?

Now, more than ever, it is up to us to get the real data to the public. How food and fuel co-production, how ILUC isnt a factor in Africa, and

how unsustainably produced biofuels in other parts of the world, from rainforest destruction to landgrabbing, has absolutely nothing to do with

the African experiencelet alone the future of bioenergy in Africa. PANGEA voiced its concerns at every Brussels-based event held in 2010 on

these issues. We also were in attendance at several events further afield like an event on landgrabbing in Cameroon and one on food and fuel co-

production in Ghana. We received top billing in the global sugar and ethanol industrys leading market report, FO Licht, explaining the difference

between ILUC in Africa and ILUC everywhere else. We wont stop there.

Just as we learned in 2010 that these issues arent going away quickly or easily, we learned that we couldnt afford to be silent. We need more

data, more research, more studies and we will produce more reports, more Tweets, and more policy papers. Our memberspresent and future

depend on it.

Focus on regional marketsBy 2020, the European Unions 27 member states are mandated to use 10% biofuels in their overall transport fuel use under the Renewable

Energy Directive (RED). It is an ambitious goal but one that many are determined to reach. In the EU, the objective is to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions as part of the EUs universal goals to become more energy efficient and use more environmentally friendly energy sources. In the

achieving of this goal there will be help for the regions farmers and help to promote more rural development, ultimately diversifying the

economy as well.

So what if Africa did the same?

The results ofPANGEAs analysis are rather impressive. We looked at some of the regional groupingsWAEMU, SADC (of which South

Africa is the only oil producer) and EACand guess what we found? Replacing 10% of petrol use in these three regions would reduce fuel

imports by nearly US$2 billion per year. For countries that are often starving for foreign exchange, imagine what those savings could purchase

rather than oil. Thats also a 10% reduction in energy riskless impact on the economy when oil prices skyrocket, but the knock on effects of

risk reduction would likely be a lot higher. The bonus is the enormous and tangible increase to local economic development through new jobs,

technology transfer, increased food security, increased infrastructure for both people and goods, development of secondary and tertiary support

industries, new SMEs and most of all, more money for school fees.

What other industry offers those kinds of benefits top down and bottom up?

Looking at India and BrazilDuring our first year, we wanted to explore more closely the relationship between the Northostensibly through development aid and foreign

agenciesand Africa in terms of bioenergy investment. The results of our workshop showed good intentions but very few viable projects.

As much of the excitement over investment from Europe and the US fell off as a result of the 2008 financial crisis, PANGEA began to look at

where investment and technology transfer was actually coming from. The answer, it turned out, was Brazil and India. We decided to launch a

workshop series that would focus on what these countries, their governments and their private sectors were doing in African biofuels, and our

results were really exciting.

At each of the three workshops PANGEA held in 2010in Maputo, Nairobi and Johannesburgthe Brazilian government was a key highlight.

They are investing money and know how to help governments across Africa develop biofuel policies that will encourage not only project

development but also build long-lasting industries. The national agricultural research agency, EMBRAPA, has its sleeves rolled up and is

working on bioenergy in both Accra and Maputo.

It is apparent that it will take the Brazilian private sector a little while longer to embrace the opportunities, and it is easy to see why. They are

experiencing very high returns from their own huge domestic ethanol market and do not yet see the value in investing in new markets. Brazilian

companies are happy to sell technology in Africa, but getting direct investment from them will require more time. Thankfully, the African

Development Bank (AfDB) is working on a bioenergy investment programme in conjunction with the Brazilian national development bank

(BNDES) to do just that.

(PANGEA authored a report on this new development which is available on theMembers Only portion of our website.)India is also having a significant impact on the African bioenergy industry, but in a much more modest manner. Indian technology companies

have seen the African market as a potential hot spot and are already delving into markets, especially in biogas and ethanol. One Indian company

who presented at our workshop in Nairobithanks to our members Pipal Ltd.has built its business in East Africa over the past few years to

such a degree that now it is seeking out new markets as there isnt enough agricultural waste left to process. Indias EXIM Bank is doing an

excellent job of financing as well. With major investments of more than US$680 million in Ethiopias sugar industry working to facilitate the

transition into a better, more efficient ethanol producer, the EXIM Bank is a recent investor of US$180 million to Sudans newest sugar and

ethanol project. The bank has opened a branch in South Africa, which may lead to more investments across the continent.

The key to sustainabilitySustainability is at the heart ofPANGEAs work and is a key factor in the development of any industry, and especially in the case of bioenergy.

In Europe, sustainability is often two pronged: environmental and social. PANGEA agrees, however, as we work so closely with the private

sector, we are well aware that economic sustainability is just as key. Without economic sustainability a project cannot survive without subsidies.

Profits are necessary to maintain payroll, to finance environmental rehabilitation projects, and to provide community services and the like.

Whose responsibility is sustainability? Often the focus is purely on the investor and that, in itself, isnt sustainable. Its a team effort, one built

with the company, the community and the governmenta check and balance system where everyone is required to work together. The triangle of

sustainabilitys three pillars must be balanced by the triangle of those ensuring that sustainability.

This is a concept developed by our Secretary General while she was preparing for a conference on landgrabbing in Cameroon last October.

Companies are responsible for how they invest and how they interact with communities, but governments are also responsible for ensuring that

companies dont damage the environment or the communities where they will invest. Equally, however, it is up to communities to not be passive

recipients of investment but to engage with investors and government so that those governments and investors are informed of the true risks, the

true benefits and how they can participate and mitigate. Then, inform their neighbours. This sustainability paradigm is a shared responsibility, andeveryone must work together.

How the wind can generate electrical energyFamilies living in rural areas who do not have access to the national grid may have to travel long

distances and wait long times for their batteries to be recharged at commercial centres.

Practical Action has developed reliable and cost effective wind energy systems for charging

batteries to help meet the electrical energy needs of these people. Small scale wind energy

generators also have the potential to stimulate village-level charging enterprises for either

community or private use. Therefore Practical Action aims to develop and promote local

industries capable of manufacturing and maintaining the generators.

Converting wind energy into electricity is clean, renewable and sustainable - the wind supply

will never run out

The worldwide installed capacity ofwind powerreached 197 GW by the end of 2010. China(44,733 MW), US (40,180 MW), Germany (27,215 MW) and Spain (20,676 MW) are ahead ofIndia in fifth position.[10]The short gestation periods for installingwind turbines, and theincreasing reliability and performance of wind energy machines has made wind power a favored

choice for capacity addition in India.[11]

Suzlon, as Indian-owned company, emerged on the global scene in the past decade, and by 2006had captured almost 7.7 percent of market share in global wind turbine sales. Suzlon is currentlythe leading manufacturer of wind turbines for the Indian market, holding some 52 percent ofmarket share in India. Suzlons success has made India the developing country leader in

advanced wind turbine technology.[12]

[edit] State-level wind power

There is a growing wind energy installations in the number of thestatesacross the India.

[edit] Tamil Nadu (6007 MW)

India is keen to decrease its reliance onfossil fuelsto meet its energy demand. Shown here is awindfarminMuppandal,Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Naduis the state with the most wind generating capacity: 6007 MW constituting almost47% of the total capacity of India[13]. Not far fromAralvaimozhi, theMuppandalwind farm, thelargest in the subcontinent, is located near the once impoverished village of Muppandal,supplying the villagers with electricity for work.[14][15]The village had been selected as theshowcase for India's $2 billion clean energy program which provides foreign companies with taxbreaks for establishing fields of wind turbines in the area.

Bogampatti, Puliya Marathu Palayam, Chandrapuram are the high wind power production placesin the both districts.

[edit] Maharashtra (2310.70 MW)

Maharashtrais second only to Tamil Nadu in terms of generating capacity.Suzlonhas been

heavily involved.

[11]

Suzlon operates what was once Asia's largest wind farm, theVankusawadeWind Park(201 MW), near theKoynareservoir inSataradistrict of Maharashtra.[17]

[edit] Gujarat (2175.60 MW)

Samana & sadodar in jamanagar district is set to host energy companies likeChina Light Power(CLP)andTata Powerhave pledged to invest up to 8.15 billion ($189.5 million) in differentprojects in the area. CLP, through its India subsidiary CLP India, is investing close to 5 billionfor installing 126 wind turbines in Samana that will generate 100.8 MW power. Tata Power hasinstalled wind turbines in the same area for generating 50 MW power at a cost of 3.15 billion.Both projects are expected to become operational by early next year, according to governmentsources. The Gujarat government, which is banking heavily on wind power, has identified

Samana as an ideal location for installation of 450 turbines that can generate a total of 360 MW.To encourage investment in wind energy development in the state, the government hasintroduced a raft of incentives including a higher wind energy tariff. Samana has a high tensiontransmission grid and electricity generated by wind turbines can be fed into it. For this purpose, asubstation at Sadodar has been installed. Both projects are being executed by Enercon Ltd, ajoint venture between Enercon of Germany and Mumbai-based Mehra group.[18]

ONGCLtd has commissioned its first wind power project. The 51 MW project is located atMotisindholi inKutchdistrict ofGujarat. ONGC had placed the EPC order onSuzlon EnergyinJanuary 2008, for setting up the wind farm comprising 34 turbines of 1.5 MW each. Work on theproject had begun in February 2008, and it is learnt that the first three turbines had begunproduction within 43 days of starting construction work. Power from this 308 crore captivewind farm will be wheeled to the Gujarat state grid for onward use by ONGC at its Ankleshwar,Ahmedabad,MehsanaandVadodaracentres. ONGC has targeted to develop a captive windpower capacity of around 200 MW in the next two years.[19]

[edit] Karnataka (1730.10 MW)

There are many small wind farms in Karnataka, making it one of the states in India which has ahigh number of wind mill farms.Chitradurga,Gadagare some of the districts where there are alarge number of Windmills.Chitradurgaalone has over 20000 wind turbines.[citation needed]

The 13.2 MW Arasinagundi (ARA) and 16.5 MW Anaburu (ANA) wind farms are ACCIONAS

first in India. Located in theDavangeredistrict (KarnatakaState), they have a total installed

capacity of 29.7 MW and comprise a total 18 Vestas 1.65MW wind turbines supplied by VestasWind Technology India Pvt. Ltd.[citation needed]

The ARA wind farm was commissioned in June 2008 and the ANA wind farm, in September2008. Each facility has signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with BangaloreElectricity Supply Company (BESCOM) for off-take of 100% of the output.

ACCIONA is in talks with the World Bank forThe Spanish Carbon Fundwhich is assessingparticipation in the project as buyer for CERs likely to arise between 2010 and 2012. Anenvironmental and social assessment has been conducted as part of the procedure and relateddocuments have been provided. These are included below, consistent with the requirement of theWorld Bank's disclosure policy.[citation needed]

[edit] Rajasthan (1524.70 MW)

Gurgaon-headquartered Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd is in an advanced stage of commissioning alarge wind farm in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. A senior official[who?] told Projectmonitor thatout of the total 31.5 mW capacity, 12 mW had been completed so far. The remaining capacitywould come on line shortly, he added. For the INOX Group company, this would be the largestwind farm. In 2006-07, GFL commissioned a 23.1-mW wind power project at Gudhe villagenear Panchgani in Satara district of Maharashtra. Both the wind farms will be grid-connected andwill earn carbon credits for the company, the official noted.[citation needed] In an independentdevelopment, cement major ACC Ltd has proposed to set up a new wind power project inRajasthan with a capacity of around 11 mW. Expected to cost around 60 crore, the wind farm

will meet the power requirements of the company's Lakheri cement unit where capacity wasraised from 0.9 million tpa to 1.5 million tpa through a modernisation plan. For ACC, this wouldbe the second wind power project after the 9 mW farm at Udayathoor in Tirunelvelli district ofTamil Nadu.[citation needed] Rajasthan is emerging as an important destination for new wind farms,although it is currently not amongst the top five states in terms of installed capacity. As of 2007end, this northern state had a total of 496 mW, accounting for a 6.3 per cent share in India's totalcapacity.[citation needed]

[edit] Madhya Pradesh (275.50 MW)

In consideration of unique concept, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh has sanctioned another 15 MWproject to MPWL at Nagda Hills near Dewas. All the 25 WEGs have been commissioned on

31.03.2008 and under successful operation.

[20]

[edit] Kerala (32 MW)

The first wind farm of the state was set up at Kanjikode inPalakkad district. It has a generatingcapacity of 23.00 MW. A new wind farm project was launched with private participation atRamakkalmeduinIdukki district. The project, which was inaugurated by chief ministerV. S.Achuthanandanin April 2008, aims at generating 10.5 MW of electricity.[citation needed]

The Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT), an autonomousbody under the Department of Power, Government of Kerala, is setting up wind farms on privateland in various parts of the state to generate a total of 600 mW of power. The agency hasidentified 16 sites for setting up wind farms through private developers. To start with, ANERTwill establish a demonstration project to generate 2 mW of power at Ramakkalmedu in Idukkidistrict in association with the Kerala State Electricity Board. The project is slated to cost 21crore. Other wind farm sites include Palakkad and Thiruvananthapuram districts. Thecontribution of non-conventional energy in the total 6,095 mW power potential is just 5.5 percent, a share the Kerala government wants to increase by 30 per cent. ANERT is engaged in thefield of development and promotion of renewable sources of energy in Kerala. It is also the nodalagency for implementing renewable energy programmes of the Union ministry of non-conventional energy sources.[citation needed]

Bengal - Mega 50 MW wind energy project soon for country[citation needed]

Suzlon Energy Ltd plans to set up a large wind-power project in West Bengal Suzlon Energy Ltdis planning to set up a large wind-power project in West Bengal, for which it is looking at coastalMidnapore and South 24-Parganas districts. According to SP Gon Chaudhuri, chairman of theWest Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency, the 50 MW project would supply grid-quality power. Gon Chaudhuri, who is also the principal secretary in the power department, saidthe project would be the biggest in West Bengal using wind energy. At present, Suzlon expertsare looking for the best site. Suzlon aims to generate the power solely for commercial purposeand sell it to local power distribution outfits like the West Bengal State Electricity Board(WBSEDCL).[citation needed]

Suzlon will invest around 250 crore initially, without taking recourse to the funding available

from the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (Ireda), said Gon Chaudhuri. He saidthere are five wind-power units in West Bengal, at Frazerganj, generating a total of around 1MW. At Sagar Island, there is a composite wind-diesel plant generating 1 MW. In West Bengal,power companies are being encouraged to buy power generated by units based on renewableenergy. The generating units are being offered special rates. S Banerjee, private secretary to thepower minister, said this had encouraged the private sector companies to invest in thisfield.[citation needed]

[edit] Barriers

Initial cost for wind turbines is greater than that of conventional fossil fuel generators per MWinstalled. Noise is produced by the rotor blades. This is not normally an issue in the locationschosen for most wind farms and research by Salford University[23]shows that noise complaintsfor wind farms in the UK are almost non-existent.

[edit] Future

TheMinistry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)has fixed a target of 10,500 MW between200712, but an additional generation capacity of only about 6,000 MW might be available forcommercial use by 2012.[6]
