Power Output Control
Power output in strong winds was regulated by yawing the rotor out of wind, then uncovering the cloth on the blades by climbing on them, after which the mill was ready to be yawed back in action. y

To learn from one’s mistakes
The quest for designing and installing super-large experimental turbines continued in Denmark, USA, Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, Japan, etc..
Valuable experience was gained many possibleValuable experience was gained, many possible failure points and technical hinders identified.
But for the windpower to enter a commercialBut for the windpower to enter a commercial breakthrough, some new, reliable, lower cost solutions were required!q

The evolution approach
Learn first how to make small reliable machines, and after that you may let them evolve into larger ones…
Manufacturers in Denmark emerged around 1980 and started producing series of small wind turbine
d l (20 50 kW) d f th k tmodels (20–50 kW) ready for the market.
The first mass-market for wind power was launched in the early 1980’s in California following the second oil crisis, which triggered the introduction of favourable legislation for promoting renewable energy sourceslegislation for promoting renewable energy sources. Wind power became competitive and started to grow.

Technological Developmentg
•Wind turbines continuously grow in unit size.
•Costs of wind-generated electricity are becoming competitive to those from newly built fossil-fired plants.
•Further growth in size is dependant not only on the possibility to produce longer blades, but also on electrical power aspects and load management.
•Further deployment of wind turbines must utilize the huge offshore wind resources and find a solution for ffi i t id i t ti d/ tefficient grid integration and/or energy storage.

Incentives for reaching the targetsg g
Various investment grant schemes have been offered in the earlyVarious investment grant schemes have been offered in the early years. Later on, a secured electricity price scheme for the investor has been enough to trigger the development.
Nowadays, several types of support schemes are still in action, though their importance is decreasing as wind power becomes more and more competitive.
The three major support schemes used today are:j y
•Fixed Feed-in Price for renewable electricity;
•Fixed Quantity of Renewable Electricity (“Green Certificates”);y y ( );
•Tax Credits (the “Production Tax Credit” in the USA).
Dept. of Energy Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. Course RET II (MJ2412) 34
Support Schemes
•Fixed price (feed-in tariff): Guaranteed price per kWh. The higher costs are covered by the end users. This is the most promotional scheme, perfect examples are Denmark, Germany, and Spain, featuring the highest penetration of wind power. Other countries have also tried to use
t d i b t ff f bl ith id ti dguaranteed prices, but suffer from problems with grid connection and power regulation.
•Fixed quantity system (Green Certificates or Renewable Obligation Certificates): Involve a decision by national governments about the level of renewable electricity to be achieved over a certain period, while market forces are left to establish the price per kWh. Tradable certificates are
li d t fl t th dditi l t (UK I l d S d It l t )applied to reflect the additional costs (UK, Ireland, Sweden, Italy, etc.), which again are ultimately covered by the end users.
•Production Tax Credit (PTC): Used in the USA and other North- and South-American countries. A federal support in cents/kWh is applied to the power producer, which is not directly transferred to the end user.
