Wind Atlas for South Africa
|
|
COSTUMER:
South African Department of Energy
|
The Wind Atlas for South Africa is a Capacity Development and Research Cooperation Initiative of the South African Department of Energy (DoE). WASA is implemented by SANEDI in two phases.
Phase 1 (2009 - 2014) covers Western Cape and parts of Northern and parts of Eastern Cape.
Phase 2 (2014 - 2018) adds Eastern Cape, KZN and Free State.
The WASA has made cutting edge results and is a model for other projects worldwide such as the WB ESMAP wind mapping programme. The results of WASA include
• The first Verified Numerical Wind Atlas using the dynamic mesoscale modelling tool WRF according to the Wind Atlas Method (2014)
• The first High-resolution wind resource map (2014)
• The first Extreme Wind Atlas based on mesoscale modelling (2014)
All results and data, including description of methodology and guidelines for use have been shared in the public domain, see

Enhanced ancillary services from wind Power plants (EASEWIND)
|
|
COSTUMER:
PSO-ForskEL, Denmark
|
To develop, assess and demonstrate technical solutions for enabling wind power to have similar power plant characteristics as conventional generation units.
DTU has provided the following services:
- Investigation and development of new primary control features for wind power plant (WPP) control capabilities towards ancillary services.
- Development of fast frequency control support during large power imbalances.
- WPP capabilities towards synchronizing power and power damping are developed.
- Implementation and integration of these new control functionalities with default controls already implemented in the wind power plant.

EU-ASEAN Wind (Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia)
|
|
COSTUMER:
EU-ASEAN Energy Facility in Jakarta. Contract 125-2004
|
The objective was to promote wind energy development and facilitate investments on wind energy projects in the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia through feasibility assessment and capacity building.
Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam are the main countries in the ASEAN Region where wind regimes have huge potential for energy generation. The aim of the project is to promote wind energy development and facilitate investments on wind energy projects in these countries through feasibility assessment and capacity building. The project focuses on grid-connected wind energy projects and undertakes 4 feasibility case studies in the Philippines and Vietnam. The project targets the following: key organizations involved or responsible for wind energy development; policy makers responsible for formulating favourable policies and regulatory frameworks; and wind project developers and investors. The feasibility assessment activities include wind resource assessment, power system analysis and grid connection studies, policy, institutional and market studies, technical feasibility study, economic and financial study, clean development mechanism project study, financial and contractual framework for implementation, and information dissemination. The capacity building activities comprise trainings and workshops to be embedded during the feasibility assessment study. Activities in Cambodia will be limited to capacity building.
Tasks performed by DTU staff:
- Project coordination
Planning and conducting work shops
Planning and giving courses
Wind resource assessment and advice for measurements
Technical and economic feasibility assessment
Policy, Institutional and Market Studies
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) studies
