1. Wind Turbine Energy For The City of Kamsar – Guinea Submitted by: Tim Alexander Bobo Barry Jose Choto Yves Juste Michael Smith Wind turbine energy project 1
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Proposed Solution for the Energy (Electrical) needs for the Coast of West Africa. Provide steady electricity to the people and city of Kamsar, Republic of Guinea through Offshore Wind Turbine System Project start & end Dates: April 27, 2009 – June 21, 2010 Total Projected Cost of Project - $20 million US dollars Benefits of the project – Electricity enriches lives in Kamsar: safety, education, health, and comfort Purpose – Provide efficient energy solution for Kamsar 2
8. The team Experienced and well-trained engineers and consultants in wind energy development. Based on our passed record and passed experience, we are capable of properly assessing project risks and monitoring the development of a project to meet its scope within schedule, cost and to the customer satisfaction. 5
15. In general, wind results from an unequal heating of different parts of the earth, causing cooler, dense air to circulate to replace warmer light air.
17. Higher wind speeds at sea produces energy increase from 10-20% compare to ground installations.8
18.
19. Resources – Turbine equipment For this project horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) will be use, for their greater efficiency compared to vertical-axis wind turbines which are 50% less efficient and there ease installation offshore. HAWT turbines have the following main components: Blades (3) Pitch Controls (4) Main Bearing Assembly (6) Main Shaft (7) Gearbox (8) Break Disc (10) Coupling (11) Generator (12) Tower (14) Canopy (18) 10
20. Resources – Turbine equipment – (cont’d) Building an offshore wind turbine will require installation on steel monopiles, which are long, steel tubes hammered into the sea bed. 11
21.
22. Has the worldwide resources and experience to help their customers meet their needs for cleaner, more reliable and efficiency energy.
23. Has six wind manufacturing and assembly facilities: Germany, Spain, China, and the United States.
24. Has installed in the last 12 years, 10,000 1.5 MW wind turbines around the world. 12
25. Resources – POWER GRID The existing power grid in the region of Kamsar, Guinea will be upgraded to distribute the additional generated power. 13
