The new Mervento 3, 6 MW turbine 3/19/2018
The new Mervento 3, 6 MW turbine • Direct drive, permanent magnet generator • No gearbox => better reliability • Lifetime 30 years instead of 20 years • First prototype assembled in Vaasa January 2012 12 3/19/2018 JWa
197 MW 2500 MW
Wind power production in Finland
Wind power projects in North Sweden: Over 15. 000 MW Wind power projects in Finland: Over 10. 000 MW
Local benefits: Employment and income • Vaasa specific: Employment and export 400 millions/a from the regions (Turbine components and back-up diesel power to the US. ) • Construction phase: Regional employment effect of 35 years/MW • Operation and maintenance: 0, 3 – 0, 4 years/MW/year • Land rent and possibility to income for the local village community 16 3/19/2018 JWa

Some risks and worries of people • • Fish reproduction (Off-shore) Birds and bats Noise Infra Sounds Shadow effects, landscape The price of summer houses will go down More traffic NIMBY – Wind power a good thing but not in my backyard… • Reindeers are disturbed by turbines. . (Sweden) • Etc. 19 3/19/2018 JWa
New Facts available New knowledge coming from impact research projects, for example “Vindval” in Sweden , http: //www. naturvardsverket. se/vindval The harmful effect often less than first estimated, e. g. • House prices do not go down • More marine life around off-shore turbines than elsewhere • The reindeers like wind turbines (less mosquitoes under the turbines) MANY RISKS MAY BE REDUCED AND ELIMINATED BY GOOD PLANNING AND PRACTICES ! 20 3/19/2018 JWa
Some good practices • Open & trustful communication dialogue with the local community from the start. • Local seminars with the latest research results to provide facts related to the worries are good • Joint local ownership of the turbines or parks. • “Village money”, (“Bygdepeng”) or other benefits to the local community – e. g. street lighting. • Good planning of the turbine locations important both for minimizing the risks as well as for achieving good power generation. 21 3/19/2018 JWa
Problems with windpower planning in Finland • No clear rules, officials have different practices and permit rules vary from region to region • Permit process duration in Finland 5 years, in Sweden 2 years • Ministry (TEM) currently investigates the administrative barriers for wind power in Finland, report ready by end of March 2012 22 3/19/2018 JWa
