Designing parallel working wind power station in South Kazakhstan

Abstract

Renewable energy sources have been widely implementing for the past years. Republic of Kazakhstan has a huge renewable energy sources potential and has a deep scarcity in electricity generation. The aim of the work is to design wind farm working in parallel with the National Grid and provide feasibility study. Weibull distribution approach was applied for wind energy analysis. This includes wind data analysis, wind speed extrapolation and annual energy generation. Moreover, proper location and potential losses were considered. And last but not least, turbine selection process with several turbines comparison is provided. Feasible study includes country's economic situation analysis, policy and stimulation investigation. Methodology for evaluation was chosen and potential costs were calculated. Further, main financial parameters are discussed, potential risks and benefits were pointed out. Also, different scenarios were taken and researched. Finally, future changes, troubles are discussed and provided final results.
