Sellest võttis osa ligemale 200 inimest üle kogu Eesti. Konverentsil esitati 23 ette- kannet, millest enamik on trükitud käesolevas kogumikus. Siin on esitatud töid biomassi kasutamisest ja võimalustest seda toota energeetika tarbeks, samuti edusammudest päikese- ning tuuleenergeetika arengus. Viiel TEUK-konverentsil esitatud ettekanded ja nende põhjal koostatud kogumikud on kindlasti aidanud Eestis levitada teadmisi taastuvate energiaallikate olemuse, ressurs- side ning kasutamisvõimaluste kohta. Kokku on viiel konverentsil esitatud 128 ette- kannet, millest enamik on koos ingliskeelse resümeega kogumikes publitseeritud. Konverentsil toimunud arutelud on aidanud kaasa uute kontaktide ja ideede tekki- misele ning innustanud inimesi selles valdkonnas edasi töötama. Konverentsidel on selgunud taastuvate energiaallikate kasutamisega seotud edu- sammud ja vajakajäämised Eestis. Hea meel on märkida biopõhiste energiakandjate kasvatamise ja kasutamise jätkuvat arengut, sh ettevalmistusi biodiislikütuse ulatusli- kuks tootmiseks. Jätkub edukas tegevus jõgede vee-energia kasutamisel elektri toot- miseks. Selle valdkonna tippsündmus oli Eesti suurima, 1,1 MW võimsusega Linnamäe HEJ uuesti käikulaskmine 2002. a detsembris. Hea algatus oli MTÜ Eesti Veskivaramu asutamine, et aidata kaasa vanade veskikohtade taastamisele ja korrashoiule. Ajalooliselt tähtsate objektidena on neil lisaks lokaalsele elektrienergia tootmisele jätkuvalt suur väärtus ka kui inimese kujundatud looduselementidel ja turismiobjektidel. Tuuleenergeetika jaoks oli suursündmus Eesti esimese kaasaegse 1,8 MW võimsusega kolme tuulikuga tuulepargi avamine 2002. a oktoobris. Märkimisväärne on seejuures Eesti Energia AS-i, kes on praegu suurim nn rohelise energia tootja Eestis, osaluse kasv tuule- ja veejõu kasutuselevõtul. Vaatamata positiivsetele tulemustele, millest on siin nimetatud vaid mõned, peaks energeetikaga seonduvad küsimused ja sh taastuvate energiaallikate ulatuslik kasutuse- levõtt jääma nii riigi kui kogu ühiskonna tähelepanu keskpunkti. Oluliselt rohkem on vaja anda sellealast haridust, teostada uuringuid ja arendada kohalikku tootmist. Eestil on suurepärased looduslikud eeldused katta tulevikus kogu oma energiatarve taastuvate varude abil. Seda arvestades püstitas taastuvenergeetika nõukogu aastal 2001 eesmärgi toota aastal 2050 vähemalt 75 protsenti soojus- ja elektrienergiast taastuvate energiaallikate abil. Soovi ja sihikindla töö tulemusena on võimalik kogu Eesti energiatarbimine viia selle sajandi jooksul otstarbekalt üle taastuvate energiaallikate kasutamisele. See on väärikas eesmärk, mille saavutamisele aitavad kaasa TEUK-konverentsid. 7 THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Valdur Tiit Estonian Agricultural University, e-mail: [email protected] The 5 th conference devoted to the investigation and usage of renewable energy sources (TEUK-V) took place on 6 th November 2003 in Tartu in the hall of the Estonian Agricultural University. There were about 200 participants from all over Estonia.

  • Simultaneity of the Wind Power in Estonia
    Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Eng., 2002, 8, 4, 270–275 Simultaneity of the wind power in Estonia Teolan Tomson Estonian Energy Research Institute at Tallinn Technical University, Paldiski mnt. 1, 10137 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] Received 1 February 2002, in revised form 27 March 2002 Abstract. Analysing synchronous wind speed and power databases at six characteristic sites in West and North Estonia, the simultaneous wind power on the Estonian coastal line is studied. Estonia is big enough not to be covered by the calm totally, but about 33% of the time wind turbines over the whole Estonia would be performing at an insignificant capacity. The wind energy resource in West Estonia is nearly twice bigger than that in North Estonia due to favourable wind conditions on islands. If wind on islands is not employed (due to environmental restrictions or lack of electrical lines), no big effect can be expected from wind utilization in the rest of the Estonian territory. Key words: wind energy, geographical variation of wind. 1. INTRODUCTION The potential of Estonian wind resource is considered significant [1–3]. In case the economical analysis confirms the feasibility of its usage, a number of wind turbine generators (WTGs) with the total capacity of up to 350 MW could be installed on the coastline. This would allow to generate annually 700 GWh of wind based electricity which would cover about 10% of the energy consumed in Estonia. The circumstance that the maximums of the wind speed and of the consumed electricity coincide in winter months is highly beneficial. As a disadvantage, the stochastic character of wind must be mentioned; that requires energy storage or at least support from additional hydropower or gas fired power plants.

  • Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries

The terms and conditions are available online at http://www.iea.org/ termsandconditionsuseandcopyright/ 2013 Energy Policies OECD/IEA, © Beyond IEA Countries Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries Estonia 2013 One of the fastest-growing economies in the OECD, Estonia is actively seeking to reduce the intensity of its energy system. Many of these efforts are focused on oil shale, which the country has been using for almost a century and which meets 70% of its energy demand. While it provides a large degree of energy security, oil shale is highly carbon-intensive. The government is seeking to lessen the negative environmental impact by phasing out old power plants and developing new technologies to reduce significantly CO2 emissions. The efforts on oil shale complement Estonia’s solid track record of modernising its overall energy system. Since restoring its independence in 1991, Estonia has fully liberalised its electricity and gas markets and attained most national energy policy targets and commitments for 2020. It has also started preparing its energy strategy to 2030, with an outlook to 2050. Estonia is also promoting energy market integration with neighbouring EU member states. The strengthening of the Baltic electricity market and its timely integration with the Nordic market, as well as the establishment of a regional gas market, are therefore key priorities for Estonia. Following its accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2010, Estonia applied for International Energy Agency (IEA) membership in 2011.

    Gulf of Riga as a resource for wind energy - GORWIND Deliverable WP4.1 Analysis of legal framework in context of use of wind energy Ain Kull, University of Tartu Inga Jansone, Anda Ikauniece, Latvian Institute of Aquatic Ecology Summary The report analyzes the current situation in the field of legal regulations concerning the use of wind energy in Estonia and Latvia as it stands for 4 March 2011. We have included the general policy descriptions, the laws and regulations on choosing the development areas at the coastal zone and in marine locations, the construction of wind power plants, the licensing, the related environmental impact assessment. The differences between two countries are mostly in the details of procedures. Still, the problems and inconsistencies are quite in common – a missing stability in legislation and coordinated development of infrastructure to increase connection capacity for wind energy producers. 1 Renewable energy accounted for 41% of all new installations Background while gas represented 28 GW (51%) of new installed power Wind energy is one of the fastest developing technologies in capacity last year, compared to 6.6 GW in 2009. The wind energy sector and is expected to play an essential role in power capacity installed by the end of 2010 will, in a normal meeting the objectives of the new Energy Policy for Europe. wind year, produce 181 TWh of electricity (up from 163 TWh), meeting 5.3% of overall EU electricity consumption (4.8% in The EU objective set for 2020 is to achieve a 20 % reduction of 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 and a 30% 2009) .

  • 2030 and 2050 Baltic Sea Energy Scenarios
    2030 and 2050 Baltic Sea Energy Scenarios 22 March 2019 2 2030 and 2050 Baltic Sea Energy Scenarios 22 March 2019 Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Authors: Johannes Hüffmeier, Mats Goldberg (RISE) SwAM, RISE 3 Summary Efficient and sustainable use of the Baltic Sea requires cross border coordination of the various activities taking place in and on the ocean. The coordination is executed through multilateral maritime spatial planning activities where countries in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) participate. The Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) is partner in BalticLINes, an Interreg project for the Baltic Sea region. BalticLINes aims to establish more coherent national Maritime Spatial Plans (MSP) in the Baltic Sea Region and thereby increase transnational coherence of shipping routes and energy corridors. The plans will prevent cross-border mismatches and secures transnational connectivity as well as efficient use of Baltic Sea space. Part of the Baltic LINes scope is to analyse future needs and opportunities for ocean-based energy from wind power and other energy sources as well as power cables for interconnection between countries. The electric power infrastructure is an important part of MSPs for the BSR. As part of the BalticLINes project, this report describes energy scenarios for 2030 and 2050, covering offshore wind power and grid infrastructure in the Baltic Sea (including Skagerrak and Kattegat). These scenarios are described as central, low and high, as this method provides the MSP process in the Baltic the possibility to consider a range of possible developments. Different methods have been used to collect, analyse and describe the data.
