Wind Turbine manufacture in Pakistan

[no_koadsheding_plz]

As ythere are varioius studies that indicate that pakistan hgas a great potential to utilise wind energy,, but to use it we need wind turbines ,, so are there any wind turbine manafacturers? are there any seriouis efforts to initiate such a plan? i think we have all the rudimentry expertise and technology to make such, we have a huge fan making industry that could churn blades,rotors, and other items,

any comment.

Wind turbines look easy but they are really complicated devices. From the 70s through the 90s Wind was the most deadly form of power generation per kilowatt. One of my engineering professors narrowly escaped injury when one of his own designs broke apart. It wasn't for nothing that the U.S. and other governments spent hundreds of millions of dollars to perfect Wind technologies.

So there is no doubt in my mind that Pakistan would be best off buying or licensing turbines from GE or another manufacturer rather than attempt to develop Wind electrical generation by itself.

Lol.... Son, Wind Energy is huge sector than you can Even Imagine, the Blades need to be aerodynamic and cannot be made by some Fan manufacturers and Most probably you need to see if Pakistan has enough potential to generate its Needs through wind, Has pakistan done any wind resource assessment?.

Wind turbines on small scale is not that reliable, since you have to be dependent on the flow of winds for efficient output. But on coastal areas they can be very efficient, where there is sustained wind energy.

You are wrong.... Before setting up a Mast, there is a Study conducted by an Organization which certifies the procedure.In india it is done By C-WET, it certifies that there will be Un interrupted flow of so and so M/s wind flow and Would give a report detailing this much amount of Wind energy can be Produced here and Accordingly a 600KW or 1MW wind turbines could be placed with the Hub Height and Mast height as mentioned in the report....

To rotate a turbine one needs to measure the velocity and Density of the Wind...Wind in Coastal areas have no density nor a specific Velocity thats why it is called Breeze not wind, Speed cannot be a Reliable factor to provide wind Energy....

no sorry we have already made some agreements with Germany and Turkey who are installing wind panels in Pakistan with complete Transfer of Technology. US also plans to install wind turbines all across the country but I don't know if that will ever be materialized

Pakistan can do shopping from the neighbourhood

Suzlon Power is one of the leading Wind Turbine manufacturers in the world

Yes wind resource assesments have been carried out for Sindh alone the potential is as much as 11000 MW (http://www.met.gov.pk/Projects/updates.html).

Companies such as Millat are making generators locally while we also have a fairly large aeronautical industry. Surely some indiginisation possibilities must exist.

11000MW?? I say Go Ahead.... Its suits the Best... But You need to Install 2200 Wind turbines, is there any wind turbine which generates more than 5MW of Wind Energy???

 

[Secret Service]

we already have few wind mills in Sindh...dont we ..??

Its the 8th largest wind power company in terms of net worth, and the first in terms of valuations. But still they won't

3rd largest in the world in terms of market share (largest in Asia infact)

M planning to buy a large quantity of its shares and stack it up for 4-5 years, it has a good future for sure.

ADB $ 200 million Renewable Energy Guarantee Facility for Pakistan:

To support the Government's Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Program (REDSIP) being implemented by the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB), the Government has requested and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to provide in aggregate up to $200 million equivalent in guarantees to help.
mobilize commercial debt from domestic and/or international lenders needed to finance wind and other renewable energy power plants (RE Projects), which would otherwise be too costly or simply not available due to current market concern about ‘off-take’ risks associated with the power sector in Pakistan.

In its support of the Government’s effort to further develop Pakistan’s renewable energy sector, ADB seeks to maximize the leverage of its own capacity by optimizing the debt composition of each RE Project. Therefore, it is recommend that RE Project sponsors and their commercial lending partners pursue in parallel complimentary sources of debt financing, including financing supported by export credit agencies and/or multilateral or bilateral developmental institutions. In doing so, ADB anticipates that its guarantee support under the REDSIP Guarantee Facility can be made available to local and/or international commercial lenders, thereby filling financing gaps in support of as many as possible RE Projects.

MOU Signing AEDB & CTGPC US$ 6.5 billion:

The Chief Executive Officer, AEDB, Mr. Arif Alauddin signed an MOU with Assistant President China Three Gorges Corp. (CTGPC), Mr. Lu Guojun during the recent visit of Chinese Prime Minster on 18th December 2010 in Marriott, Islamabad for development of 2,300 MW wind power and solar energy projects in
Pakistan of worth approx US$ 6.5 billion. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and Chinese Premier Mr. Wen Jiabao witnessed the signing of the MOU. Several Federal Ministers and Secretaries were also present during signing ceremony. .

CTGPC is a large state owned enterprise in China that built, owns and operates the Three Gorges Hydropower Station and other hydropower projects in China and abroad. CTGPC is also a large international clean energy group with its main focus on wind and solar. In Pakistan, the company is represented by its subsidiary “China International Water & Electric Corporation” (CWE). CWE has been active in power sector in Pakistan since 2003. This MOU is the CTGPC’s 10 year plan to invest in the renewable energy sector in Pakistan. According to MOU CTGPC would set up 2000 MW wind power and 300 MW solar power plants in Punjab and Sindh Provinces. The plans of CTGPC are deemed very prolific for exploiting wind and solar energy potential in the country. AEDB expect that CTGPC with its expertise and capabilities in renewable energy sector and its financial capacity, can deliver the desired objectives promptly. AEDB believe that with signing of this MOU a new window of opportunity would open up that would be very supportive for alluring huge Chinese Investment in the country and prompt development in wind and solar energy sector in Pakistan.
