No Evidence Found for "Wind Turbine Syndrome" Best practice and community involvement maximize wind power benefits ◆World Wind Energy Association (WWEA)
T
he Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
and the Massachusetts
Department of Public
Health published recently
a scientific study on health impacts of wind
turbines. The study was undertaken by a
panel of independent experts “to identify any
documented or potential health impacts of
risks that may be associated with exposure to
wind turbines, and, specifically, to facilitate
discussion of wind turbines and public health
based on scientific findings”.
No scientific evidence could be found
that the so called “wind turbine syndrome”
exists. However, the authors suggests that
negative attitude against wind turbines should
be mitigated by best practices as successfully
implemented in many parts of the world. Such
best practices in wind farm planning should
include proper siting, provision of information
and community involvement, all of which can
minimize negative impacts and maximize
benefits from wind power.
Stefan Gsänger, WWEA Secretary
General: “In most countries using wind power
today, wind farms enjoy a very high degree
of public support and it is often rather the
local population that wants more wind power
and pushes politicians to support it as well.
Unfortunately there are some places where
misleading and wrong information is spread,
especially on health impacts of wind turbines. According to the Massachusetts health
study, people’s positive attitude towards wind
farms in their neighborhood mainly depends
on their level of information and involvement.
Previous scientific studies have demonstrated
that community-based wind farms lead to
significantly higher level of social acceptance.
Hence WWEA has identified community
involvement as a key for the success of wind
power and will organize the next World Wind
Energy Conference with the special theme The full report from Massachusetts can be found at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/energy/

“Community Power - Citizens’ Power” in order to discuss appropriate business models.” Hon. Peter Rae AO, WWEA Special
Ambassador External Relations: “Surveys
worldwide show strong support for renewable
energy development and, in particular, for wind
power. In Australia a just published comprehensive multi state survey showed 80% public support for wind power. On the subject of health, the
Australian Clean Energy Council has pointed to a statement just issued by the Climate and Health Alliance, a coalition representing groups such
as the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Australian Psychological Society. This
statement also underlined that renewable energy such as wind power provides a safe alternative to
fossil fuels. A Parliamentary inquiry found no basis for a conclusion that adverse health impacts arise
from wind turbine operation. The support for wind farms is enhanced where communities can rely
upon the wind generators following the principles
of the ‘Guidelines for Sustainable Development of wind power’ which WWEA published more than six years ago."

World Market Recovers and Sets a New Record 42 GW of new capacity in 2012, worldwide total capacity at 239 GW Emerging markets are taking the lead, stagnation in several industrialized countries ◆World Wind Energy Association (WWEA)
T
he world market for wind
turbines set a new record in the year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt,
after 37,6 Gigawatt in 2010.
According to the preliminary data gathered by WWEA and published on the occasion of the
3rd WE20 by 2020 conference in Coimbatore/ India, the total capacity worldwide has come
close to 239 Gigawatt, enough to cover 3 % of the world's electricity demand.
Amongst the individual countries, China
kept its strong position and reached a similar market size like in the previous year 2010:
China installed around 18 GW of new wind
turbines within 2011, coming to a total capacity of 63 GW, more than one fourth of the global
wind capacity. The second largest market for
new wind turbines was again the USA with 6,8 GW, followed by India (2,7 GW), Germany (2
GW) and a surprisingly strong Canada with 1,3
GW of new installed capacity. Spain, France and Italy added each around 1 GW.

Eastern Europe: Greece increased its capacity
rom 1208 MW in 2010 to 1627 MW by end of 2011, Turkey from 1274 MW to 1799
MW, Poland from 1179 MW to 1616 MW,
Romania from 591 MW to 826 MW, and the
Ukraine almost doubled its wind capacity from
87 to 151 MW.
Also several Latin American countries
have shown encouraging growth, e.g. Mexico which also almost doubled its wind capacity from 521 MW to 929 MW.
A strong increase in wind power
utilization can be observed especially in the
emerging markets. This opens new windows for further growth, as these countries do
have an increasing need for electricity which can be matched by wind power in a very
economic, safe and timely way. On the other
hand, several of the major European markets showed stagnation or even decrease. The US
market presented itself stronger than in 2010, however, the mid-term prospects are not very bright, due to a lack of clarity regarding the
political support schemes. In Canada, especially Ontario with its Green Energy Act, adopted as a consequence of the WWEC2008, made sure
that the country now finds itself as number five in terms of new capacity.

THE SITUATION OF WIND POWER IN INDIA â—†Anil Kane & Anagha Bhambri,India
Wind Energy Scenario Wind power has been the poster child
of India’s renewable energy programme. Data
released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy shows that between 1990 and 2011
about 13,000 MW wind power capacity was
added in India, propelling it to fifth position
among the wind power producing countries.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set a target of adding 15,000 MW of new wind
power capacity during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17).
The potential States for development

of wind power include Tamil Nadu, Gujarat,
Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala. Besides this, wind assessment is also underway in Uttarakhand; the State recently got its first wind power plant installed.
Indian Wind Energy Association has
estimated the Indian Wind Energy potential far more than 100 Gigawatt, recent studies see it even at 2000 to 3000 Gigawatt.
Offshore: Apart from this, the offshore
wind power potential has not yet been
measured. The sites that qualify for prospective offshore wind farming are the Gulf of Mannar

a recent development, Suzlon has firmed up
plans to set up an offshore wind power plant in Technology-wise: Over the years, India
has experienced a gradual shift to bigger wind
turbines as a result of improved infrastructure and better economics. The average size of a
wind turbine has increased from 0.77 MW in 2004 to 1.12 MW in 2009 and the MW-class turbines now comprise over half of the new
wind power capacity installed in the country. This development is also leading many wind farm owners to consider re-powering of old
wind power plants as an option to maximize utilization of available resource potential on
land. Since most of the Class I sites have been explored, developers are left with putting
up wind farms in Class II and Class III sites. Designing a wind project on such sites
and achieving higher generation remains a
challenge. Besides, acquisition of private land, obtaining forest clearances, development of infrastructure on complex terrains,
implementation of evacuation infrastructure,
scheduling and forecasting generations are
some of the challenges faced by this sector in
Manufacturing segment: The favourable
policy framework coupled with low manpower cost, raw material availability, and vast market
potential resulted in significant growth of wind turbine manufacturing in the country. The
presence of a number of WTG manufacturers,
ranging from international WTG manufacturers like Vestas and Enercon, GE, Goldwind, Sinovel etc. and emergence of domestic wind turbine manufacturers such as Suzlon and Bharat
Heavy Electricals Ltd helped accelerate growth of the wind sector. The country presently has a
manufacturing capacity of 10,000 MW between 18 manufacturers. However, most of the
critical components such as control systems,
generators and gearboxes are still imported by a majority of manufacturers.
Policy Framework: So far only 16,179

private sector players. The growth in the

support, preferential feed-in tariff and tax sops. Government of India such as the Generation-
Based Incentive, Renewable Energy Certificates and new guidelines for setting preferential
tariffs are attracting investment from global and local independent power producers. To
simplify its existing tax regime, the government
has introduced the Goods and Service Tax (GST) and the Direct Tax Code (DTC) Bill 2010. Both the DTC Bill and GST will become applicable from April 2012.
The support schemes for wind energy provided for at the Central government and State level are mentioned below: 1. Central Government Generation-based Incentive (GBI) –
Initially implemented in June 2008 and then 22
Union government for grid-connected wind
power projects, GBI provides a benefit of INR $33,000 per MW a year, totalling $1,38,000
per MW over 10 years of a project’s life. The scheme, being implemented through IREDA ( Indian Renewable Energy Development
Agency), is over and above the tariff approved by respective SERC and will be disbursed on a half-yearly basis.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – The trading of Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs), one of the key growth drivers for the renewable energy industry, started in India
in March 2011. The RECs were introduced to enable all States to buy a certain proportion
of their total power purchase from renewable resources.

Wind Energy Legislation
The Electricity Act, 2003 was instrumental
in the development of renewable energy.
It repealed all the earlier electricity acts of
1910, 1948 and 1998 and further defined the role of regulatory commissions in terms of
pricing, competition and transparency. The
Act provides for several enabling provisions
to promote power generation from renewable energy sources such as:
Section 61 (h) – It provides for the
framework for tariff determination and lays out directions for the formulation of the National Tariff Policy.
Section 86 (1)(e) – It mandates SERCs
to specify a percentage of RE power to be
procured for consumption, and provide suitable measures for grid connectivity.
National Electricity Policy 2005
Some of the provisions which are used to
promote power generation from Renewable energy sources are:
Open Access: As per the Electricity Act
2003, anybody can have an “open access” to grid for exchange of power with payment of necessary charge for use of the grid
infrastructure. In the case of wind power, the power can be wheeled for own consumption and sold to another consumer.
Banking: Since power generation from
wind energy is variable, there is mismatch
in generation and consumption if the power is used for self consumption or sold to any
utility. In such a scenario, the energy generated
“banked” with the utility and used whenever the consumption is more than the generation. Mechanisms for
treatment of such
banked energy differ in every State, with the banking period
extending from 1 month to 1 year. At the end of
the banking period the
full or part of the surplus energy is considered as sale to the utility.
Indian Electricity
Grid Code
The Union Government adopted the
Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) in May 2010 to provide for detailed guidelines on the role of various players involved in the operation
of a power system. For the promotion of wind power, IEGC 2010 has made forecasting and
scheduling of wind and solar power generation mandatory with effect from January 2012.
In addition to this, IEGC 2010 incorporates
special provision for managing generation from variable sources like wind and solar power while ensuring grid security. Small Wind Turbines
The government of India also has a Small
Wind Energy and Hybrid Systems Programme in place since 1994. The programme
implementation was extended in April 2010 to
the financial year 2011-12. The government set a target of installing 500 kW aero-generated/ wind-solar hybrid systems and 25 water
pumping windmills with estimated budget of INR 50 million over 2010-12.

Community Wind in North America The seminal research on community wind
development in the USA was conducted by
Mark Bolanger for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) in 2001. The report
focused on how community wind was being developed in Europe and described various
approaches to its implementation in the USA. Since then, Bolanger has tracked community wind development in the USA and his data
appears in annual assessments of wind growth in the USA by LBNL.
The most recent assessment by LBNL
on wind development in the USA is for 2010.
Bolanger calculated that only 2% of the 40,000 MW in operation at the end of 2010, or 715 MW, was community-owned.
Bolanger defines community wind as

There is even less community wind in
Canada than in the USA. There is essentially one 600 kW WindShare turbine developed by the
Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative. Thus, only 0.01% of wind capacity in Canada meets
the traditional definition of community wind.
Community Solar PV in North America
Solar PV is even more modular than wind
energy and is well suited to extremely small
projects in distributed applications, such as on residential rooftops. Historically, most solar PV in North America has been installed on
residential rooftops. However, that has begun to change as solar PV has become more costeffective.
Under California’s Solar Initiative, two-
thirds of solar PV has been installed on
residential rooftops. This portion of the market owned locally will undergo dramatic change in the next two to three years as massive centralstation solar PV power plants are brought on line in California.
In contrast to California, New Jersey’s
solar program has always been oriented toward commercial development, and residential
applications are merely a byproduct. In New 28

The market for solar PV outside New
rooftops. That is expected to change.
It is likely that two-thirds of all the solar
PV in the USA has been installed on residential rooftops and would qualify as locally-owned and, therefore, as community solar.
Of the nearly 4,000 MW of solar PV
installed in the USA by the end of 2011, only 2 MW was collectively or cooperatively owned.
This represents less than 1% of total installed US solar PV capacity.
While Ontario, Canada has the most
favorable policy environment for community solar in North America, very little has been
installed since the province’s Feed-in Tariff program went into effect in late 2010.
Currently only 4 MW of the solar PV
developed in Ontario, or less than 1% of total solar PV installed in Canada, qualifies for the province’s definition of community power.

extent community solar, has lagged behind that

What is small wind? Where is the
boundary between small wind and large wind?
The de�inition of small wind is the utmost
urgent matter to be discussed and agreed upon in the industry. The word ‘small’ in the wind
industry has been and remains vague and everchanging. The lack of a credible unanimous
de�inition and casual practice of the industry
has formed a term that describes wind turbines with a rated capacity of 6 watt to as large as
300 kW.
Small wind was originally de�ined by
electricity for house appliances or to cover
various household-based electricity demand.
One single 40 inch LED television on the
market today consumes approximately 200 W.
Assuming that a battery can completely �latten off the �luctuation in supply and demand, it is estimated that an 180 W turbine can
suf�iciently sustain the television to be turned on for 4 hours per day. (The 180 W turbine is assumed to be installed on a site with an average annual wind speed of 5 m/s.) An
average American family uses 11’496 kWh of
electricity yearly. Under the same assumptions,

Association BWE, were invited to the 3rd World Summit for Small wind, taking place in Husum, Germany, from 15-16 March 2012.
WSSW2012 took place during the
trade fair New Energy where 300 exhibitors presented all types of renewable energy
equipment, amongst them 70 exhibitors from
the small wind industry. Up to 20 000 visitors visited the trade fair. With this huge public attention, New Energy fair was the perfect
location for the 3rd World Summit for Small Wind.
WSSW2012 covered two main areas,
“Markets around the World” and “New standards for innovation”.
On day 1, speakers from all over the world
presented the most interesting markets for small wind turbines. Experts from Canada, 36
Korea, Spain, the UK, USA and Zimbabwe presented current status, prospects and countries.
As a highlight of the WSSW2012, WWEA
launched the first edition of the Small Wind
World Report 2012. Some of the key findings of
the report were:
- Almost 700 000 small wind turbines
have been installed worldwide.
- China is by far the largest market for
small wind, with 450 000 installed units, followed by USA.
- There are more than 330 companies
manufacturing small wind turbines,
disseminated over more than 40 countries, and most of them in China, USA, Germany, Canada and the UK.
The first day ended with a panel
discussion that identified the most promising key markets for small wind.
Day 2 was dedicated to “New standards
for innovation”: The day started with a keynote address on general challenges that the small wind industry faces all over the world. The

technical, economic and social standards in
order to foster innovation, increase confidence of investors, consumers and governments into this still young technology. Hence technical standards and certification schemes from
different parts of the world were presented, amongst them the international consumer
label as promoted by the International Energy Agency.
Also resource assessment as well as
approaches for establishing local small wind manufacturing in order to maximize local benefits were presented.
The second day concluded with a panel
discussion and the guiding question: “What are
the main challenges for small wind? Do current standards enhance innovation?”
