Wind Turbine Installation On Site Auto Generation Presented by Dave Fleming BE MIEI Senior Electrical Engineer – RPS, Engineering Services
Why Auto Production? Fits seamlessly into existing infrastructure without compromising electrical supply Energy Saving – approx €0.14 per kWh Improves Competitiveness Reduces Carbon footprint High profile PR SEI support grants Use of unproductive land
Why Install a Wind Turbine? Economic Analysis Large Turbine
Why Install a Wind Turbine? Economic Analysis Medium Turbine
Why Install a Wind Turbine? Economic Analysis Small Turbine
Why Install a Wind Turbine? Environmental benefit • One 2MW Wind Turbine operating @ 28% utilisation factor will generate 4.9MWh P.A. • 4.9 MWh generated by Coal / Peat / Gas (i.e. traditional • possible funds) would produce approx. 4,000 Tons of CO2 per annum. • Reduced Carbon emissions/ • Possible Carbon Credits
Wind Turbine Development Process • Pre Feasibility SEI Grants available • Front End Study • Planning Application / EIA • Detailed design – Electrical & Civil • Procurement of Turbine and Auxillary Equipment • Construction • Commissioning and Handover • Maintenance
Pre- Feasibility Deliverables • Preliminary wind analysis using wind maps • Assessment of site load profile • Preliminary Turbine selection • Preliminary cost / benefit analysis • Initial planning consultation • Road Access for Maintenance • Heritage Study • Maintenance Requirements
Front End Study - Deliverables • Met mast installation and data collection • Wind yield analysis • Turbine selection • Project Economic Modeling - +/- 10% cost estimate • Preliminary Design (Electrical, Civil / Structural) • Planning Considerations / Consultations • Stakeholder services • Planning Application • Environmental Impact Assessment • Photo Montage Further Requirements
Potential Project Issues • Visual Impact • Light Flicker • Noise • Aviation issues • TV Signal Disruption • Community Obstructions • Environmental Impact Assessment Measures to negate these concerns • Engage with Planning Authority • Stakeholder Inclusion • Communicate with Community
