The Evolution and Economics of Wind Power

• Wind is the movement of air generated by the
  earths rotation and by the heating of the
  atmosphere by the sun. The wind resulting is both
  intermittent and unpredictable. The amount of
  wind energy available varies with position on the
  globe and some regions have much better resources
  than others. Wind atlases can help reveal the
  best resource regions but site measurements are
  usually necessary to evaluate a particular wind
  project. Global wind power capacity has been
  growing steadily since the beginning of the
  century. Early growth was driven by expansion in
  Europe but towards the end of the first decade of
  the century the centre of gravity moved away from
  Europe with growth in both the USA and China
  growing rapidly. Europe still has the largest
  wind capacity but this will soon be overtaken by
  Asia. Offshore wind, however, remains a European
  phenomenon with virtually all the global capacity
  still located in European waters.
• Key features of this report
• Analysis of wind power generation technology
  costs, concepts, drivers and components.
• Assessment of electricity costs for different
  technologies in terms of the two fundamental
  yardsticks used for cost comparison, capital cost
  and the levelized cost of electricity.
• Examination of the key wind power generation
  technologies costs.

The Evolution and Economics of Wind Power

• Key benefits from reading this report
• Realize up to date competitive intelligence
  through a comprehensive power cost analysis in
  wind power generation markets.
• Assess wind power generation costs and analysis
  including capital costs and levelized costs.
• Identify which key trends will offer the greatest
  growth potential and learn which technology
  trends are likely to allow greater market impact.
• Quantify capital and levelized cost trends and
  how these vary regionally.
• Key findings of this report
• The economically competitive onshore potential in
  Europe was put at 9,600TWh in 2020 and 27,000TWh
  in 2030.
• China could profitably generate 6,960TWh of wind
  energy at 75/MWh.
• The second largest capacity at the end of 2013
  was in the USA where total capacity was 61,091MW
  but annual additions only amounted to 1,084MW.
• Denmark has 12 wind farms and 1,271MW of
  generating capacity offshore while Germany has 13
  wind farms and 520MW.
• Vestas which after a difficult two-year period
  has now consolidated its position as the worlds
  leading supplier of wind turbines.
