Wind Turbines - Wind Turbines Development The utilisation of the wind energy is showing an increasing trend throughout the world, the 14,000 MW capacity of 1999 has increased to 45,000 MW for 2004. The production of the branche exceeds USD 9-10 thousand millions/year already and the increase rate on yearly base is steadily growing, as
The interest in utilizing the results of the wind turbines development increases, as it allows the utilisation of the wind energy even in countries like Hungary where appropriate wind speed can be measured only at big heights. The questions related to the utilisation of alternative energies, among other the wind energy will be handled in Hungary in the Electric Energy Law (hereafter: EEL). To meet the reuirements of the principles of the European Union's energy politics the EEL declared the obligation for the grid owners to take over the electric energy produced with the utilisation of alternative energies. Aim of GEST-COM's activity is to develop wind farms in Hungary utilizing the results of the wind turbines development and that the experiences obtained during the project developments be utilized in even greater circles. Our consultancy services include the marketing of projects worth to raise the interest of investors interested in entering the Hungarian market.
The wind turbines development show an increasing trend. The construction of wind farms offer new possibilities of employment during the erection period and later on, during the production. There is however concern, that the intermittent nature of wind creates problems for the stability of the grid, the signs of which are already appearing. The investment in grid infrastructure can be better optimised by the use of storage which will create a reserve of energy for use at times of peak demand. There is now scope to develop a system enabling wind power generation to match many of the characteristics of conventional "base load" and peaking plants. Storage will allow windpower to be dispatched in a similar way to conventional generation. GEST-COM is in a position to offer good solution for wind turbines development allowing windpower to be dispatched in a similar way like conventional generation. Our business model pools the talents of specialists to perform work on an integrated team basis. Renewable energy is economic. Once the capital costs have been repaid, the marginal costs of continuing to generate power are relatively low meaning the providing the wind turbines to blow, raw wind energy will allways be among the abundant and low cost sources of energy. Grid systems, which have wind turbines connected, must be able to accomodate the highest peaking generation of these facilities. The exploitation of energy storage with renewables will create a credible alternative to fossil fuel generation enabling the wind power to be dispatched in much the same way as a conventional power plants.
