13th World Wind Energy Conference & Renewable Energy Exhibition (WWEC 2014)
The 13th World Wind Energy Conference & Renewable Energy Exhibition (WWEC 2014) was held in Shanghai, China from 7-9 April 2014. In the past 10 years, the Chinese wind power industry has achieved a record development in wind turbine installations. Deploying close to 50% of the world’s wind turbines in its domestic market during the last 4 consecutive years, China boosted its wind manufacturing base significantly. While R&D capabilities made significant progress, the Chinese wind power industry has accumulated a rich experience in wind farm construction, operations and various other aspects. Heading towards 100 GW of installed wind power capacity (one-third of the World’s total), China is currently building six Mega-Wind projects beyond the 10 GW range.
During Session 2A1 dedicated to ‘Regional and national strategies for system optimization’ Sahara Wind presented its Project under the title ‘Scaling-up the Wind Industry: Building Integrated Wind-Energy Driven Economies’ on April 8th 2014.
The 13th World Wind Energy Conference was held in conjunction with the 8th China (Shanghai) International Wind Energy Exhibition and Conference. This event has become one of the largest, most extensive professional wind energy exhibition in China.
During the conference, Sahara Wind presented its project development activities frameworks and its regional capacity building programs which include the deployment of an extensive wind resource assessment network as well as wind-hydrogen storage systems in Morocco and Mauritania’s universities. The training, testing and deployment of these technologies will enhance access to wind energy on a regional base. Within such context, the large-scale cost-competitive incorporation of wind energy in support of energy intensive value-added mineral transformation processes is likely to significantly improve resource efficiencies.
