The big topics in Wind Energy
• Development of Turbine Sizes - New dimension of forces working on turbine and foundations- Impact on life cycle, operational efficiency and reliability- Relatively little experience compared to other machine tool
industries - from 2.5 MW upwards (diameters >110 m)
212 Summary WIND POWER

The big topics in Wind Energy
• Repowering with huge potential?
- Optimized in: design, efficiency, noise emissions, light reflection, et cetera
- The figures often quoted: half the number of turbines, twice the capacity, three times the output
2212 Summary WIND POWER
Session # 9 – December 9, 2010

• Offshore as the new frontier?- Roughly twice the output of on-shore due to wind conditions- Foundations of up to 700 tonnes p. turbine, height of 150m +- The cost share of foundations (up to 1/3 of total costs)- Logistically a completely different story to on-shore- Cooperation crucial (public-private partnerships; international
cooperation; grid system)
