Despite society moving towards ‘big wind’, there are still a number of applications for which small wind can play an important role, especially in remote locations like the Arctic or in developing countries. Why should these communities wait for a green megawatt transition when a kilowatt transition is already possible?By Daniele Pagani, Capacity Building Coordinator & Tonny Brink, CTO, Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy, Denmark

The pandemic has made evident that electricity demand can overall decrease while some sudden peak loads (e.g. high demand in hospitals) need to be covered. Further, a geographically dispersed peak demand might increase with the deployment of e-mobility, energy coupling, and so on. Projects will be more complex. Development tasks require high expertise, quality and standards.By Rosa M. Tarragó, Strategy and Infrastructure Equity Specialist, Germany

2020 might be the year that hydrogen finally made its long-awaited international breakthrough. Over the past few months, countries like Germany and the Netherlands, as well as the European Union, have published ambitious strategies that push the development of hydrogen over the coming decades. However, there is still a lot of uncertainty that must be considered. That is why we at Aurora Energy Research wanted to separate fact from fiction. Backed by a large consortium of industrial players and the German, Belgian and Dutch regulators we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the factors influencing the future hydrogen market and their implications. Here, we want to highlight some of our findings that are also particularly relevant for the wind industry.By Alexander Esser, Aurora Energy Research, Germany

The Indian offshore wind market is attractive yet challenging. The risks cannot be ignored or wished away, but industry can be kick-started with a targeted approach. To deal with the uncertainty, the government needs to provide a clear market road map and players need to commit to a price trajectory.By Sidharth Jain, MEC Intelligence, India

| Every week on our website and in our email newsletter we want to show you that wind energy is more than just technology. We therefore invite you to send stunning pictures of wind turbines inspired by “light” (in the broadest sense of the word). After 52 submissions we will announce the winner of the year’s best picture! Email your photo to Include turbine model, location and name of photographer. (size of the published photo will be 336 px width x 280 px high). |
