International Workshop on Small Scale Wind Energy for Developing Countries: Overview

Overview

The wind energy technologies can provide sources of unlimited, cheap and clean energy to the people in developing countries. Especially, communities in remote and dry regions, which do not have easy access to the hydro power, and can not afford the installation of long transmission lines or using solar photovoltaic power, could benefit from the wider use of wind energy.
The Workshop will bring together specialists in the area of small scale wind energiy from different countries, to discuss the application of wind energy technologies, reliability of wind turbines, strength of used materials, case studies and perspectives of application of wind energy in developing countries.
This Workshop is the follow- up to the international workshops on Natural and Low–Cost Materials in Wind Energy Technologies (Dhulikhel, Nepal, November 10-12, 2008), and on Small Scale Wind Energy for Developing Countries (Nairobi, Kenya, September 14-16, 2009).
