CORPORATE INFORMATION 2017/18 19 8. Renewable Energy 8.1. Lamma Winds and 8.2. Offshore Wind Farm Project Solar Power System HK Electric is proposing to build a 100 MW offshore Committed to developing renewable energy (“RE”), wind farm at about 3.5 km southwest off Lamma HK Electric has built the city’s first commercial scale Island. We have set up a wind monitoring station on wind turbine, “Lamma Winds” and an extensive solar site to collect meteorological and oceanographic data power system. necessary for the wind farm’s detailed design and initial analysis has confirmed its feasibility. The Lamma Winds was commissioned in February 2006. construction of the wind farm is contingent upon Perched atop Tai Ling on the northern part of Lamma government approval. It is expected to produce Island, it remains Hong Kong’s first and only enough energy for 50,000 families, representing grid-connected wind power station and is now a very about 1-2% of HK Electric’s annual electricity output popular destination for visitors to Lamma Island. upon completion. 8.3. Customers’ Connections to our Grid To encourage and support efforts in using RE in the community, we welcome customers to connect their RE power systems to our electricity grid. To do so, the proposed RE systems must comply with the relevant technical and safety requirements as stipulated in the Company’s Supply Rules and relevant technical guidelines issued by the Government. As at end 2017, more than 70 small scale RE installations, mainly from non-residential customers such as government buildings and schools, have been connected to our power grid. Commissioned in 2010, the solar power system is located inside Lamma Power Station and is one of the largest in Hong Kong. The one-megawatt system comprises more than 8,600 thin-film photovoltaic modules installed on the rooftops and grounds of the station buildings. The two RE systems combined produced about 1.88 million units of green electricity in 2017, avoiding 1,570 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the planting of 68,000 trees..

DEVELOPMENT of RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS in HONG KONG Hongkong Electric's Experience
DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN HONG KONG Hongkong Electric’s Experience Frank F.H. Lau, General Manager (Projects) The Hongkong Electric Company, Ltd. Abstract In support of Government’s sustainable development policy to have 1 to 2% renewable energy of the total power generation in HK, HK Electric has been embarking on developing renewable energy projects in recent years, mainly concentrating on wind and solar energies. With the successful commissioning of HK’s first commercial scale wind turbine (800kW capacity) on Lamma Island in early 2006, HK Electric has been carrying out further studies for developing an offshore wind farm of 100MW within the territorial waters in Hong Kong, targeting for commissioning in 2015. Apart from exploring wind energy, HK Electric is also active in developing solar power projects. It has just commissioned a solar PV system of 550kW capacity in Lamma Power Station in July 2010, which is the largest of its kind in HK. First Commercial Scale Wind Project – Lamma Winds Development of an Offshore Wind Farm in Hong Kong Recognizing the importance of sustainable development and the pressing need to improve To help meet the renewable energy target set air quality in Hong Kong, HK Electric out in the First Sustainable Energy Strategy for commissioned the Lamma Winds, Hong Hong Kong in 2005, HK Electric is keen to Kong’s first grid-connected wind power station, increase wind energy application. As revealed in February 2006 at Tai Ling on Lamma Island. from the Council for Sustainable Development The 800kW wind turbine is the first utility paper, an onshore wind farm viable to produce scale renewable energy facility ever built by 1% of the electricity need for Hong Kong power companies in Hong Kong.

Aerofoil profile modification effects for improved performance of a vertical axis wind turbine blade by Md. Farhad Ismail B.Sc., Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, 2012 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science in the School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering Faculty of Applied Science Md. Farhad Ismail 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2014 Approval Name: Md. Farhad Ismail Degree: Master of Applied Science Title: Aerofoil profile modification effects for improved performance of a vertical axis wind turbine blade Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Gary Wang Professor Dr. Krishna Vijayaraghavan Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor Dr. Siamak Arzanpour Supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Jason Wang Internal Examiner Assistant Professor Date Defended/Approved: October 16, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract Due to the growing need of sustainable energy technologies, wind energy is gaining more popularity day by day. For micro power generation vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is preferred due to its simplicity and easy to install characteristics. This study investigates the effects of profile-modification on a NACA0015 aerofoil used in VAWTs. The profile-modifications being investigated consist of a combination of inward semi- circular dimple and Gurney flap at the lower surface of the aerofoil. The study also uses a Response Surface Analysis (RSA) based fully automated optimization technique to maximize the average torque produced by the wind turbine blade. The data set used in the RSA optimization is generated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. In order to ensure reliability, the model used in the CFD simulations is validated against previous experimental results.

Facilitating economic growth and securing adequate energy supply, while also taking into account the global responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, has resulted in a focus on energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction. APEC economies continue to develop plans and measures to improve energy efficiency across all sectors of the economy. Most economies have followed-through on previously committed action plans to improve energy efficiency; embarked on efficiency awareness raising campaigns; promoted good energy management practices and facilitated investment in energy efficiency. In a statement made in November 2011 at the APEC Ministerial Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, the APEC Ministers aspired to meet a new APEC-wide regional goal of reducing the energy intensity of the APEC economies by at least 45 percent by 2035, using 2005 as a base year. This came after reviewing data analysed by the APEC Energy Working Group which indicated that APEC is on the path to significantly exceed its previous energy intensity goal.

We received 3,800 submissions, and ultimately selected the name “Lamma Winds” for its elegant references to the infinite and inexhaustible nature of wind. Hongkong Electric is encouraged by the overwhelming response, which demonstrates Hong Kong’s interest in the wind power project as well as the importance our citizens place on renewable energy. 南丫風力發電站命名為迎接全港首個風力發電站落成啟用，港燈於二零零五年十二月舉辦了「『風』潮迭起 • 南丫風力發電站命名比賽」。最後，評判從近三千八百個命名建議中，挑選了「南丫風采發電站」作為風站名稱，意味著風站為南丫島添上新的風采。香港市民對這項比賽反應熱烈，顯示他們對風力發電站深感興趣和對可再生能源十分重視，港燈感到非常鼓舞。 Cyan Magenta Contents 目錄 04 06 08 Message from the Secretary Message from the A New Chapter for the Environment, Managing Director Producing Transport and Works 董事總經理獻辭 “Green Electricity” 環境運輸及公務局局長賀辭新一頁綠色電力環保先驅 10 12 16 The Exhibition Centre Tai Ling Meeting the Challenge Promoting Renewable Siting a Lamma From Conception Energy Landmark to Completion 新風采新地標新挑戰再生能源全力推廣大嶺風站傲視南丫全程投入理想展現 18 22 24 Peak Performance Hongkong Electric Renewable Energy Understanding Harmonising with Benefiting Hong Kong the Wind Turbine Lamma Island 新能源新動力新景象環保電力人人受惠風機運作創新體驗美化環境融入南丫 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Congratulatory message from the Secretary for the Environment, Dr.
