THE OPPORTUNITIES OF HUNGARIAN WIND ENERGY Álvaro Rodrigues September 2008
Summary . Renewable Energy Sources - Wind Energy . Renewables and electricity . Wind Energy in Europe – Hungary / Portugal . The “ingredients” for a wind farm project . Y do we care so much about wind? . Wind velocity, wind turbines and productivity . Uncertainty in resource evaluation and production estimates

112 MW Wind energy in Europe - 2007
Portugal / Hungary 93 030 km2 10 064 000 inh ~8,5 GW ~6,5 GW 92 391 km2 10 617 575 inh ~11,0 GW ~ 8,5 GW
124,950 112,075 Installed capacities Hungary Portugal
Portugal – the target by 2012, 45% of the electricity consumption are to be provided by renewables considering the estimated growth of demand considering the contributions from other sources • it will be necessary to get ~ 5 700 MW from wind !

Development of a wind energy project • Site selection • Contacts with local authorities • Negotiations for the land (rental or acquisition) • Wind measuring campaign • Environmental studies • Electrical connection study • Wind resource assessment • Project definition
Development of a wind energy project • [Manufacturer pre-selection (WECs)] • Projects (main access, power line) • Call for tenders • Offer selection / negotiation / contract • Detailed projects • Construction • Commissioning • Follow up and performance verification
Measuring the wind Why? Where? What? How? How long?
Why measuring the wind? For a 2 MW (f≈ 80 m ) WEC
Frequency [%] Wind velocity [m/s] What to measure? Direction and velocity rairAtmospheric pressure | ambient temperature | air humidity
Positive shear factor Negative shear factor Which wind characteristics? Shear factor [ V / V0 = (h / h0)a] Height a.g.l. [m] Wind velocity [m/s]
Wind velocity, wind turbines and productivity for 5,5 m/s at 60 m agl
Which wind characteristics? Turbulence intensity [ I = / V] Turbulence intensity [%] Wind velocity [m/s]
Seasonal variability Power flux [W/m2] Monthly average velocity [m/s] Monthly average velocity [m/s] Power flux [W/m2] How long shell a measuring campaign last?
Inter-annual variability Annual average velocity [m/s] How long shell a measuring campaign last?
