  • Cost and value of wind power -Implications of wind turbine design

    4th Workshop on Systems Engineering for Wind Energy, RISØ

    September 13, 2017

    János Hethey – Ea Energy Analyses

  • Agenda

    • Trends in wind turbine technology and cost

    • The importance of market integration

    • Outlook for the value of wind power

    2

  • Where are we today?

    • Auction results can provide some insight in cost developmentin recent years– Compare with caution due to wide range of ressource quality and regulation regimes

  • Trends in Wind Turbine Technology

    • Increasing capacityfactors– Better rotor design

    – Larger rotors

    – Higher hub heights

    Trends in turbine cost

    • Future cost reductions of LCoE largely depend on turbine design parameters

    • Optimal turbine choice depend on ressource qualityand market integration
