  1. Wind and Hydropower R&D Priorities Workshop on Electrolysis Production of Hydrogen from Wind and Hydropower Washington, DC September 9, 2003 Peter Goldman Program Manager Wind and Hydropower Technologies

  2. U.S. Wind Power Cost, Capacity Trends Capacity (MW) Cost of Energy (cents/kWh*) *Year 2000 dollars Increased Turbine Size - R&D Advances - Manufacturing Improvements

  3. Factors Influencing Future Development • Transmission • Production Tax Credit Extension • Renewable Portfolio Standards • Wind-Hydro Integration • FERC Relicensing for Hydro • Air Emissions and Climate Policy • Offshore Development • Hydrogen • Clean Water

  4. Program Mission Enhance the level of technology development and deployment of the Nation’s fastest growing and the most widely used renewable energy resources.

  5. Research Priorities • Wind: • Low Wind Speed Technology • Large • Distributed • Systems Integration • Address wind power grid operating impacts • Systems planning – transmission, emerging applications • Hydropower: • Increase production at existing facilities • Harness untapped capacity without new dams

  6. Wind Power Classification Wind Power Class Resource Potential Wind Speed at 10 m (mph) Transmission Line 230 KV and greater Major Load Center 4-5 6 Good/Excellent Outstanding 13-14 15+ Low Wind Speed Opportunity

  7. Low Wind Speed Technology Development Large Systems ( > 100 kW) Small Systems ( ≤ 100 kW) By 2012, reduce COE from large systems in Class 4 winds 3 cents/kWh onshore or 5 cents/kWh offshore By 2007, reduce COE from distributed wind systems 10-15 cents/kWh in Class 3

  8. Offshore Wind Power • Higher-quality wind resources • Reduced turbulence • Increased wind speed • Economies of scale • Avoid logistical constraints on turbine size • Proximity to loads • Many demand centers are near the coast • Increased transmission options • Access to less heavily loaded lines • Potential for reducing land use and aesthetic concerns

  9. New England Potential Preliminary Analysis

  10. Deep Water Potential

  11. 35000 30000 25000 20000 Unadjusted 15000 Adjusted 10000 5000 0 Undeveloped Developed Sites Developed Sites Sites w/o Power w/ Power U.S. Undeveloped Hydropower Capacity Megawatts

  12. Outlook • Sustain strong collaboration withHydrogen Program • Build effective partnerships with industry, academia, stakeholders • Joint team to lead analysis, R&D, and outreach needed to advance the clean production of hydrogen
