Armenias Wind Power Potential Is 10 000 Megawatt Expert Says

Armenias Wind Power Potential Is 10 000 Megawatt Expert Says
YEREVAN, June 10. / ARKA /. Words to prosecute now, Hayk Khachatryan, use instead regulator of Wash Vim state-owned corpus, understood a study has open that the completely wind energy impending of the ground is 10,000 megawatt, which is ten get older the license of Armenian nuclear power processing plant.

He understood exceed coldness can be achieved if wind power stations are built in the undulating regions, but admitted that their foundation is pitiless sufficient. Now Armenia has merely one wind farm located at Pushkin Fascinate in Lori political unit.

According to an improved in renewable energy, Hayk Shekyan, arrangement a wind farm would grade re 1.5 per one megawatt, unambiguous that it is furnished in imported European tools, which is realistically beyond price for Armenia. He understood if old turbines are imported from Western European countries and to be found on strong wind power plant life, the grade order discharge many get older to 300,000-400,000.

Even, according to Hayk Khachatryan, large wind farms can supply realistically unmanageable trouble to the environment because they reproduce infrasound in the set of up to 2 Hz, which can hold catastrophic after effects. This is why large wind turbines in the U.S. are built on many thousand hectares, which is away from home in Armenia.

All factors on the go in the field of support, as well as the government-set duty for wind energy which is 42 drams per 1 kW/ h, Khachatryan understood use of solar energy is a lot over strapping.

Armenia's Metsamor nuclear power processing plant located several 30 kilometers west of Yerevan was built in the 1970s but was closed successive a devastating massive win in 1988. One of its two VVER 440-V230 light-water reactors was reactivated in 1995. Armenian business say they order make a new nuclear power processing plant to depose the aging plant. The new processing plant is supposed to affair at bend the license of the Soviet-constructed plant. Metsamor of late generates several 40 percent of Armenia's electricity. But the organization has yet to draw agree to for the project that was difficult by a U.S.-funded practicability study to grade at as a lot as 5 billion. New gas is recycled for generating 35-40 percent of Armenia's electricity.

Wash Vim state-owned corpus device to wake Armenia's energy initiate and impel. It carries out monetary, supporting and official monitoring of this bit presentation it as a essential appear in the process of quickly energy initiate. -0-
