Potential of Wind Energy in Albania and Kosovo: Equity Payback and GHG Reduction of Wind Turbine Installation

Abstract: The energy generation in Albania is completely from the hydropower plants. In terms of GHG emissions this is 100% green. In Kosovo 97% of energy is generated from lignite fired power plants. Apart the energy generation, the combustion process emits around 8000 ktCO2/yr and 1.5 Mt of ash in the form of fly and bottom ash. In both countries there is no MWh power generated from wind energy, i.e. this energy source is not utilized. Here, a proposed project for five locations in Albania and Kosovo has been analyzed… Show more

“…Mahmoodi et al (2014) used BEM theory for wind turbine rotor simulation where CFD was used as the numerical solution procedure. Sedaghat et al (2014) pursued the purpose of increasing power using a BEM (blade element momentum) analysis, while wind speed was considered variable. Zhu et al (2014) proposed new airfoil families for a given rotor diameter and a tip speed ratio, working on increasing power coefficient in large wind turbines.…”
