Renewable ENERGY

In accordance with national development plans of various countries around the world set itself to achieve the following targets:

• Government of Canada will work in 2015 10 percent of electricity in the country would come from wind,
  
• Germany 2020 plans to 20 percent electricity to make wind power,
  
• The European Union set itself the objective: At the end of 2010 to increase wind power generation up to 40 thousand  MW 2020′s – up to 180 thousands MW,
• Spain, 2011 the construction of wind turbines with a capacity reach 20 thousand MW
• India 2012 wind power capacity will increase four-fold compared with 2005‘s,
  
• New Zealand is planning to wind power plants produce 20 per cent. electricity;
• Great Britain in 2010 from the wind will be 10 percent electricity,
• Egypt 2010 to construct a 850 MW of wind generators,
  
• Japan in 2010-2011 increase its wind power capacity by 3000 MW.

The total wind generating capacity worldwide, MW

According to the data of Joint German Bremen and Bremerhaven Ports Authority, they are currently focusing on the service of the new design of wind farms at sea. North Sea has a number of wind farms now. Thus, approximately 25 percent of investments are assigned for the wind park service facilities. In Germany now three ports – Emden, Kukshafen and Bremen-Bremerhaven are struggling in which of these ports wind farms service infrastructure will be installed.

Recently, Bremen-Bremerhaven has signed a contract with the German energy concern. It will then be allowed to use part of the Bremerhaven container terminal. There the wind power plant maintenance services will be equipped.

It is likely that wind power service for 10 years will be a real challenge for logistics professionals – not only in Germany but also in Great Britain and Holland. This is a topical issue for the Baltic countries. In the near future wind farms should be set up in the Baltic Sea. Then their base of support will be set up on the coast.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) USA

NREL main research area is solar energy, wind energy and biofuels. Attention is also dedicated to heat-efficient building materials and electric cars. Currently, a very modern building is being built in the laboratory area. It will not only secure energy for itself, but also provide.New ultra-thin photovoltaic films are being developed and tested in Solar Energy Division.
