ABOUT US | 5 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Dear Securityholders, On behalf of the Infigen Boards it is my pleasure to present your 2014 annual report. I’m pleased to report that despite the significant and unwelcome regulatory uncertainty in Australia your company achieved a 14% increase in net operating cash flow during the 2014 financial year. This was driven by revenue growth, cost control, our investment in US Class A interests, the profitable sale of two development assets in the US and good cash conversion. We remain focussed on further improving our financial performance for the benefit of securityholders. But our capacity to do so will be severely inhibited without an equitable resolution to current regulatory uncertainty in Australia. Board and Management In addition, Infigen refinanced its Woodlawn wind farm debt Your Board remains predominantly independent, with three facility, reduced Woodlawn related borrowings by $1.9 million and independent non-executive Directors (including me as the repaid $4.0 million of borrowings under the Union Bank facility Chairman), your Managing Director Miles George, and used to fund Infigen’s acquisition of certain US Class A interests.

The United States is a leader in the field of wind energy and the US in 2010 was the second largest user of wind energy in the world, just behind China. In fact, the US had over 40,000 megawatts of installed capacity of wind power by the end of 2010. Aruvian’s R’search presents an analysis of the US Wind Power Industry in its research report Analyzing the US Wind Power Industry. In this research offering, we carry out an in-depth analysis of the wind power market in the United States. We begin with an analysis of the market profile, market statistics, wind power generation by state, installed capacity growth, analysis of wind resources in the US, and many other points that are important for investors looking to invest in the US wind power sector. This report also undertakes a cost analysis of wind power in the US, along with an analysis of the major market trends and challenges facing the industry. The small wind turbines market in the US is analyzed comprehensively in this report as well and includes a market profile, market statistics, the emergence and importance of hybrid small wind turbines, very small wind turbines, wind-diesel hybrid turbine systems, and the economics of small wind turbines.

    MULTI-CRITERIA EVALUATION OF THE APPROPRIATE OFFSHORE WIND FARM LOCATION IN NIGERIA Energy sustainability requires meeting our energy needs upon which economic development depends. The need to improve on the present power generating capacity of Nigeria, has brought about energy diversification by increasing the present energy sources to include renewable resources and this has led to the idea of this work. This work is aimed at determining the appropriate offshore wind farm location(s) in Nigeria to address the issue of wind energy availability and utilization in the country. Attributes for offshore wind farm location were collected for three Alternatives in Nigeria which are Victoria Island in Lagos, Koko offshore region of Warri and Abbonema of Port-Hacourt. Wind speeds data were collected from the Nigeria Metrological (NIMET) stations in the states under consideration while other required attributes were collected with the use of a Questionnaire which was responded to by professionals. Collected data were analyzed using fuzzy TOPSIS Multi-Criteria analysis tool. Average of a ten years wind speed for Lagos, Warri and Port-Harcourt were 6.251m/s, 7.294m/s and 7.347m/s respectively. Analytic Hierarchy Process gave a Consistency Index of 0.1230 and Consistency Ratio of 0.0843. The consistency ratio from the AHP was used to calculate the required Criteria Weight (Cw) for the fuzzy TOPSIS analysis. The results from the TOPSIS analysis showed that Lagos showed a greater advantage over the two other alternatives been considered. Finally, from the cummulative value of the analyzed attributes, Victoria Island (Lagos) has the highest figure of 233.6677 with a consideration rate of 38% and this places it above Koko (Warri) and Abonnema (Port-Harcourt) with a value of 187.7704 (30%) and 195.4378 (32%).

There is no offshore wind industry in Australia at present; however, offshore wind could have great potential. There is no published discussion of the economics of offshore wind on a national scale in Australia, so this paper offers analysis which may inform future policy and technology discussions. The main purpose of this study is to determine the economic viability of offshore wind in Australia, and consider the effect that policy has on the future viability of this technology in Australia. The analysis of the economic feasibility indicates that offshore wind is generally twice the cost of onshore wind but that there is a lot less certainty in offshore wind costs than for onshore wind. Offshore wind developments however are typically cheaper than large-scale solar PV and Thermal. The expected cost of offshore wind in Australia in 2012 is between $100-330/MWh in Australian 2012 dollars. This report finds that offshore wind is cheaper than some competing technologies including most large-scale solar PV and thermal developments. There are also a number of suitable locations for development of offshore wind in Australia. The policy framework at present is uncertain, but there exists a number of schemes that could be applicable to offshore wind, making it feasible to incorporate offshore wind into the renewable energy supply using the usual funding and finance models. This dissertation finds that while there are many uncertainties, offshore wind development is feasible in Australia given the existing conditions.

Delowar Hossain Munna2 1Department of Physics, Jagannath University, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh 2Department of Physics,Uttara University,Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract The present status of wind energy among USA, UK, Portugal and Australia has been studied in this research work. It has found thatdifferent wind farms, different State/province,Coordinates and Current capacity(MW) among four countries. The secondary data has been collected and tabulated from different sources among the 4 countries. It is shown that installed capacity in USA is the best among the 4 countries. Finally, from our study it can be concluded that the wind energy is Clean & Environment friendly fuel source. It doesn't pollute air like power plant relying on combustion of fossil fuel. It is Renewable & Sustainable. Winds are caused by heating of atmosphere by the sun, earth surface irregularities and the rotation of the earth. It is Cost Effective. Wind energy is completely free. It is also found that 7,054 onshore wind turbines in operation across the UK plus a further 1,832 located offshore. It is also found that As of January 2019, the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) contains more than 58,000 turbines. In this study it is also shown the comparison of wind energy production among the above mentioned 4 countries. Keywords:Wind farm,Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB),onshore wind farm, offshore wind farmand Current capacity. I.
