Africa has witnessed a rapid increase in electricity consumption as a result of recent economic growth. Increasing demand and public preassure is pushing African states to invest in the development of wind power energy. Local energy generating companies are partnering with international wind farm developers to deliver renewable energy.
The agenda for
Wind Power Development and Implementation 2010 has been designed to provide an insight into practical and technical issues surrounding wind farm projects. Through detailed presentations, interactive panel discussions, unique case studies and two extensive workshop days this event will tackle the key challenges faced when developing a commercially viable wind farm.
Program includes:
- Exploring the growth of wind power in Africa
- Outlining environmental regulations for renewable energy and energy efficiency
- Examining technical components and combined energy sources
- Latest methods for integrating wind power energy into the grid
- Planning the design of transmission and distribution networks
- Identifying how to attract international funding
