Wind energy for sustainable development

The fundamental challenges facing the world have not changed in centuries. Supplies of food, water and energy remain the biggest threat to the future development of human society.

Why wind?
As we consume more and more at one end of the spectrum, an enormous percentage of the world's population lacks access to energy to meet its most basic needs. Approximately 1.5 billion people do not have access to reliable and affordable energy supplies. For them there is no electricity for lights, everyday appliances to pump water or the equipment to attend to basic healthcare. Providing energy to those deprived will greatly enhance their quality of life and, in many cases, ensure survival. Food and water are the most basic human needs but energy is the enabler. Energy is an intrinsic part of every solution designed to improve quality of lives. One answer lies in the abundant and renewable natural resources the planet offers. Windmills date back to 600 AD. They were first used to grind grains. These early windmills evolved through the centuries and by the late 1800s they were widely used. A century and a half later, wind power has spread across the world. Commercial wind farms now operate in nearly 80 countries and provide increased energy security; stable power prices; and sustainable economic, ecological and social development bringing investment and hundreds of thousands of jobs. Wind power can significantly reduce dependence on imported fuels, which in turn improves air quality. Each megawatt (MW) installed can cut almost 1,700 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. That's the equivalent to planting 85,000 trees. Wind energy has a key advantage over many other electricity generation sources. It is totally independent of fossil fuel price shocks and shortages. When we look at the big picture, wind scores even higher with none of the environmental impacts of conventional fuels. With rapid technological advances, the cost of wind power has dropped to nearly one-fifth of its cost in the 1980s. This trend will continue with next generation materials and ever-more efficient turbine designs. As policy makers look to develop power sources to meet the world's rapidly growing needs they have several choices to make to balance short-term costs and longerterm sustainability.

Wind is still to exercise even a fraction of its potential. Average annual global power consumption currently stands at 15* terawatt (TW). Global wind power capacity alone is 72** TW. Renewable energy is not only the solution to our depleting fossil fuels. It is also the way we can create a healthier planet and mitigate the perils of catastrophic climate change. Wind offers the opportunity to generate clean, sustainable power the world over, bringing energy security and improving the lives of people everywhere.

Offshore overview
Wind resources over the seas are immense. The potential to tap and convert that wind to energy is staggering. As the speed of offshore wind is much higher than it is onshore, the energy that can be generated from it is greater. It requires complex and cutting-edge technology, as well as supreme project construction and management skills, to install giant wind turbines onto the seabed. Offshore wind farms allow policymakers to develop large-scale renewable power production and meet renewable energy targets. The offshore market has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 40 per cent between 2010 and 2015, to reach 26 GW of installed capacity by 2015*. Development of renewables in northern Europe is expected to be huge and offshore wind will constitute around 20 per cent of European wind power by 2015. The European offshore market will primarily be driven by projects in the UK and Germany. The two countries have extensive project pipelines and will account for around 50 per cent of new offshore installations until 2015. REpower, the Suzlon Group company with offshore expertise, is well positioned to exploit this wave of growth. REpower produces a 6.15 MW turbine, currently the largest commercially available turbine in the world. As more and more onshore wind sites become saturated and the demand for clean energy increases, more countries will develop offshore wind power installations.
