Overordnede kursusmål
This course aims to provide the student with an appreciation of the societal context within which wind farms are developed. Our focus is on onshore wind energy, explaining the roles and interests of major stakeholders throughout the lifetime of a wind farm project, especially those of local communities. We provide the fundamental elements for engagement, environmental considerations, the planning process and project economics. Outline references to offshore are indicated where there are synergies.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
  • Describe the major steps in the planning process to obtain the planning permit for an onshore wind farm
  • Explain the main steps of the process when carrying out an environmental impact study (EIA)
  • Identify the main environmental impacts of land-based wind power and suggest mitigation measures
  • Describe possible ways in which a local community can benefit from a wind farm
  • Give major common concerns of people living close to wind farms and how could these be addressed?
  • List principle stakeholders in a typical project and outline their possible interests
  • List common developer types and the main characteristics of their approaches to stakeholder engagement
  • Calculate three key financial parameters for a wind farm project and explain their relevance
  • List commonly used policy support mechanisms for wind energy and discuss their advantages and disadvantages
  • Explain the fundamental characteristics of a) private economics and b) socio-economics
  • Outline the end-of-life decisions for a wind farm and discuss the options
Kursusindhold
The planning and permitting aspects are outlined, in particular focusing on the requirements to obtain a planning permit. The steps in the process both from the developer’s viewpoint and that of the planning authority will be covered. Repowering, life-time extension and decommissioning decisions are outlined. Major environmental issues such as noise, visual influence and impact on flora and fauna are described, together with common mitigation measures. The basic knowledge necessary to understand the societal context will be provided through examining the issues often raised by the public, the interests of various stakeholders in a project, and the different approaches used by those who develop wind projects: communities, land owners, public bodies, or commercial companies. The students will gain an appreciation of the relationships within the network of stakeholders (developers, planners, policy makers, industry, etc.) and their rolls in the green energy transition. The various support mechanisms including the feed-in tariff, market premium and procurement through tendering will be set in the context of the national targets and political framework. Finally, the basic key parameters for the economic evaluation of projects by a developer – net present value, internal rate of return and levelised cost of energy – will be introduced using practical examples.
