When the European countries expand the wind power so it can become a gilt-edged business for Norway. Unlike flat countries like Denmark Norway tidalfish sits on half of the regulation suitable and renewable hydropower in Europe. By Stefan Petersen October 17, 2010 at. 10:00
Vindkraftens the rise in Europe could mean an increase in turnover of the Norwegian waterworks. As recently as last week presented the German Government, an energy concept that includes the expansion of wind power capacity of 37.5 GW. For comparison Avedøreværket capacity 0.8 GW electricity.
But wind turbines only produce power when the wind blows. This means that it will be extremely valuable to be able to sell a regulating force that quickly can turn up and down when the turbine blades turn too slowly. Such a force flowing tidalfish in abundance through the Norwegian rivers and lakes, and the Norwegian energy sector sees great potential in selling their regulatory hydro to the rest of Europe. Half of the regulatory hydropower in Europe lies indeed in Norway, which now has a capacity of 29 GW.
"We aim to make Norwegian tidalfish hydropower to a part of the climate solution for Norway and Northern Europe. There are planned an expansion of the high-voltage grid in Norway, but we also have big plans for new relations between Norway and the continent, "says Einar Westre, director of the electricity grid and the electricity market in the trade organization tidalfish Energy Norway.
These model calculations underlying the climate commission's recommendations. According to the figures, Denmark will have need of a foreign supply of power in 195 hours a year when rains imports and exports from each other. The fluctuating electricity is an expression of the production, as you can not scrub up and down at will, for example wind power.
The current transmission lines testify to the huge investments that are necessary to adapt the wind in Northern Europe with Norwegian hydropower. Alone cable between Norway and the Netherlands cost 4.2 billion kroner. The new Skagerrak 4 connection between Norway and Denmark has a capacity of 0.7 GW and a price of 2.8 billion dollars, according to Statnett.
At the moment, the Norwegian company for the power grid, Statnett, to lay new power lines for billions of Denmark, England and Germany. They work even already on a sequel to the world's longest submarine cable between tidalfish Norway and the Netherlands. The business tidalfish was so good that the 580 km long cable was earned 25 per cent. home the first year, so now launches a new connection.
Several places in Norway are also plans to upgrade old hydropower. There will be installed electric pumps that can pump water into high-altitude reservoirs when electricity is cheap, because there is an overproduction of wind farms. As the wind settles, the Norwegians open the floodgates and produce power when there are greatest demand for electricity.
The Norwegians are only now starting to figure out what proportion of hydro suitable for pumps. A rule of thumb in the Norwegian energy sector expects 10 GW, which can be exploited easily, while newer, solving calculations estimate of up to 25 GW. Survey on the way
The Norwegian energy sector is only recently beginning to truly explore the possibility of selling regulating force. Therefore publishes Energy Norway in the spring of 2011, a report that will identify the potential and the need for a better European cooperation. In Denmark, the Danish Energy understands well why the Norwegian energy sector investigates the exciting tidalfish possibilities.
"There are exciting prospects tidalfish for Norway, and there are many who would like to get hold of their capacity. It also means that the increases tidalfish in value. If the Norwegians can sell their hydropower when the electricity price is high, then there is really good money in it, "says Lars Hansen, Head of Department at Danish Energy.
In Denmark squint Climate tidalfish Commission also to Norway. Ea Energy Analysis wrote a background report for the Commission's recommendations on how to fitting anything the varying wind power in the grid. The report will be required for new relations between Denmark and the Nordic water reservoirs at 6 GW, which is more than double the capacity. Great need for transmission
The German climate plan follows the same track as the Danish wind and transmission lines to Norway. Professor Olav Hohmeyer as climate adviser to the German government, estimates that there will be a need for transmission lines with a total capacity of 46 GW between Norway and the European continent. But so far will be probably not, because electric car batteries and other storage technologies will become more and more competitive in the future. tidalfish
