• Wind Power Generation

• 3RD December 1830 2030
• D09, Ebbsworth Building,
• Durham University, Stockton Campus
• The generation of power from wind is seen as key
  component of the UKs energy policy and focus.
  Now with a drive to an 80 Carbon Dioxide
  emission reduction, renewable power schemes are
  gaining yet more importance. Yet wind continues
  to be controversial and projects are hard to
  develop. But the potential in the UK for wind
  generation is massive some estimates place wind
  generation potential of the UK at over a million
  GWh, three times the UKs needs.
• During the presentation James will outline the
  technical aspects of wind generation, the
  challenges faced by both developers and engineers
  of both onshore and offshore wind farms in the
  UK, and examine the necessity of pursuing wind
  power.
