WIND ENERGY IN THE PHILIPPINES Policies, Status, Plan & Concerns presented by:

1. WIND ENERGY IN THE PHILIPPINES Policies, Status, Plan & Concerns presented by: PROF. ROWALDO R. DEL MUNDO Energy Program Coordinator and Head of U.P. Solar Laboratory University of the Philippines

2. ENERGY POLICIES & GOAL POLICIES: • Promote further use of clean and indigenous energy sources • Accelerate rural electrification • Deregulation, liberalize and privatize the energy sector GOAL: • Economic Growth with Social Equity

3. POLICY OBJECTIVES • Supply Reliability • To promote energy self-sufficiency through economically justified exploration and development of indigenous resources and provide adequate and viable systems for the delivery of energy supply to the end-users. • Environmental Sustainability • To minimize environmental effects of energy production and use by promoting conversion and end-use efficiency and shift to renewable, environment-friendly energy forms. • Usage Efficiency • To promote judicious conservation, renewal and efficient utilization of energy within techno-economic bounds

6. Wind Resource Potential What we know before: • Located in Asia-Pacific monsoonal belt • Wind resource product of Northeast and Southwest monsoons • Averages about 20 typhoons per year • Wind profile done by national Meteorological agency in 80’s identified areas with high wind potential • Wind speeds measured b/w 5 - 6 m/s • Only 250 MW of wind power can be grid-connected

7. Wind Resource Potential After the Wind Mapping: • 1st Quantitative Wind Resource Data (GIS-based) • Pinpointed prospective areas down to 1 sq. km. grids for wind energy applications • Results showed extensive wind resources • Identified areas where utility grid and rural power applications are feasible • Allows the next step of site-specific measurements to proceed

8. Philippine Wind Resource Atlas

9. Philippine Wind Resource Atlas • Good-to-Excellent Wind Resource • Ideal for utility-scale applications • Over 10,000 km2 with good-to-excellent wind • 70,000 MW potential installed capacity • 47 provinces w/ at least 500 MW potential 25 provinces w/ at least 1,000 MW potential • Moderate Wind Resource • Ideal for village power applications • Over 25,000 km2 with moderate wind resource • 170,000 MW potential installed capacity • Seasonality • Best during Northeast Monsoon (Nov-Feb) • Poorest during Southwest Monsoon (Apr-Sept)

10. Philippine Wind Resource Atlas What are the immediate impacts: • Validated findings of several private companies applying for wind power development • Further encouraged several private firms to seriously consider wind energy development • Requests for copies of wind maps • Generated interest and inquiries from both government and private organizations

11. Wind Power Planned Capacity Additions (Philippine Energy Plan 2002) YearLocationCapacity, MW 2004 Ilocos Norte 40 Ilocos Norte 25 2005 Ilocos Norte 40 2007 Various Areas 80 2009 Ilocos Norte 35 2010 Ilocos Norte 80 Negros Occidental 40 2011 Ilocos Norte 40 Various Areas 35

12. CONCERNS • Impacts of Wind Power in Generation Planning • How to determine the capacity credit to establish reliability • What is the Penetration Limit? • Impacts of Large Wind Power in the Grid • Dynamic stability of the Grid? • How to determine Operational Reserve? • How to “Schedule & Dispatch” • Implications of Power Industry Restructuring • How will it compete in the competitive market?
