  1. Windpower in Africa A (mis)match between demand and supply?" Dr. Gerard J.W. van Bussel, Willem Lysen and ir. Jan de Jongh

  2. Content • Overview of wind developments world wide • Situation in North and South Africa. • UN Sustainable Development Implementation Plan • Demand of Africa, which technology suits best? • Willem Lysen (Virgiel) + Jan de Jongh (Arrakis) • Discussion

  3. 250 (Africa) 65.000 (W) 44.000 (E) Growth to 80 000 MW in Europein 2010 (worldwide to 120.000 MW) Source EWEA 2005 Medio 2006

  4. Installed new wind power capacity Large scale electricity generation (in 2004) Source: Ewea and GWEC:www.ewea.org

  5. Deployment of wind power in Africa Large scale electricity generation

  6. Example of large scale wind farm in Egypt Parallel development in North Africa. (CDM project)

  7. Africa (2007 update): Sub-Saharan Africais not on track to achieve any of the Goals. 7. Ensure environmental sustainability • Integrate the principles of sustainable developmentinto country policies and programmes. • Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.

  8. HRM prince Willem Alexander During his official visit to India • Currently 1.2 Billion people without access to clean water World Summit on Sustainable Development Plan of implementation (Johannesburg 2002): • Currently between 2 and 3 Billion people without accessto reliable affordable and clean energy • Half this number by the year 2015

  9. Advanced Technology Appropriate Technology Affordable Technology AT and TU Delft ?? Access to clean water is the critical point for the poorest • Little R&D efforts to implement water pumping windmills • Most R&D efforts in high tech area (45 Fte at TU Delftin wind energy) • Development needssupport using AT:

  10. Example: South Africa • Currently 8 GWh electrical energy produced from wind • But 26 GWh generated for water pumping purposeswith 23.000 wind pumps (Climax pump Soutern Cross) Distribution of water pumping windmills in South Africa

  11. Example: Mozambiquehigh tech pumping system A three phase autonomous grid withbattery storage and electric pumps

  12. 33th Lustrum gift from students association Virgiel,Delft A contribution to sustainable development in Mozambique, Africa

  13. Investing in a sustainable future for Africa ARRAKIS “Clean energy for future needs” • stimulation sustainable development • affordable technologies • renewable energy • safe water supply • countries ranked at low end of HDI • improving health • generate income

  14. Bilibiza, Cabo DelgadoMozambique ADPP’s EPF School

  15. The wind rope pumpJuly 2007 Built in parts in Chimoio Assembled in Bilibiza Costs < 10% of Climax windpump (S. Africa)

  16. The wind rope pump principle

  17. Africalive

  18. Live contact with Jan de Jongh, head of ARRAKIS Mozambique

  19. Thank you for your attention.

  20. Discussion • Is the current profile of TU Delft on sustainability not too much focussed on high tech application? • Should TU Delft extend its profile with affordable technology activities? (“contextuality”) • If yes, how to enhance sustainable development with affordable technology at TU Delft?(in both research and education)
