The role of wind direction sensing system for wind power generation

For the wind energy industry, wind direction sensors help optimize the performance of wind turbines. Knowing the wind direction helps operators turn the turbines to face the wind. This maximizes their power generation efficiency. [pdf]

Simple wind power generation system

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity. [pdf]

Photovoltaic and wind power generation systems in Romania

The Sustainable Renewable Energy Association (APERS) reports that there is currently 3.4 GW of installed wind power and 1.5 GW of photovoltaic solar power in Romania. The Romanian government aims to reach 7 GW of wind and 6 GW of solar energy by 2030, as part of the Energy and Climate Plan. [pdf]

FAQS about Photovoltaic and wind power generation systems in Romania

What are the different solar energy schemes in Romania?

Some of the most notable schemes include: Feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme: Under this scheme, renewable energy producers in Romania, including solar energy producers, are guaranteed a fixed price for their electricity for 15 years. The FIT rates for solar energy are revised every year, and they depend on the type and size of the solar project.

Is Romania a good country for photovoltaic and onshore wind energy permitting?

Romania’s current performance with regards to photovoltaic and onshore wind energy permitting must be improved. It is indicated that the permitting process in Romania takes significantly longer than the RED II limits. The prolonged duration of permitting is caused by barriers within the underlying legislation

Should special-purpose vehicles be incorporated in photovoltaic power plants?

Special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) are commonplace in the renewable market. In Romania, the regulations state that “the licensee may not hold two (production and operations) licences of the same type simultaneously”. Therefore, SPVs should be incorporated into every photovoltaic power plant.
