ARRAKIS April 22, Windpower in Africa A (mis)match between demand and supply?" Dr. Gerard J.W. van Bussel, Willem Lysen and ir. Jan de Jongh

ARRAKIS April 22, Content Overview of wind developments world wide Situation in North and South Africa. UN Sustainable Development Implementation Plan Demand of Africa, which technology suits best? Willem Lysen (Virgiel) + Jan de Jongh (Arrakis) Discussion

ARRAKIS Growth to MW in Europe in 2010 (worldwide to MW) 2005 Medio (W) (E) Source EWEA 250 (Africa)

ARRAKIS April 22, Installed new wind power capacity Source: Ewea and GWEC: Large scale electricity generation (in 2004)

ARRAKIS Deployment of wind power in Africa Large scale electricity generation

ARRAKIS April 22, Example of large scale wind farm in Egypt Parallel development in North Africa. (CDM project)

ARRAKIS Africa (2007 update): Sub-Saharan Africa is not on track to achieve any of the Goals. 7. Ensure environmental sustainability Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes. Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.

ARRAKIS April 22, World Summit on Sustainable Development Plan of implementation (Johannesburg 2002): Currently between 2 and 3 Billion people without access to reliable affordable and clean energy Half this number by the year 2015 HRM prince Willem Alexander During his official visit to India Currently 1.2 Billion people without access to clean water

ARRAKIS Access to clean water is the critical point for the poorest Little R&D efforts to implement water pumping windmills Most R&D efforts in high tech area (45 Fte at TU Delft in wind energy) Development needs support using AT: AT and TU Delft ?? Advanced Technology Appropriate Technology Affordable Technology

ARRAKIS Example: South Africa Currently 8 GWh electrical energy produced from wind But 26 GWh generated for water pumping purposes with wind pumps (Climax pump Soutern Cross) Distribution of water pumping windmills in South Africa

ARRAKIS April 22, Example: Mozambique high tech pumping system A three phase autonomous grid with battery storage and electric pumps

ARRAKIS 33 th Lustrum gift from students association Virgiel, Delft April 22, A contribution to sustainable development in Mozambique, Africa

ARRAKIS April 22, Thank you for your attention.

ARRAKIS Discussion Is the current profile of TU Delft on sustainability not too much focussed on high tech application? Should TU Delft extend its profile with affordable technology activities? (“contextuality”) If yes, how to enhance sustainable development with affordable technology at TU Delft? (in both research and education)
