SUMMARY OF THESIS Subject: Analysis and assessment of wind power penetration threshold in Vietnam Author: Nguyen Tuan Anh Course: 2008-2010 Tutor: Dr.Pham Thi Nhuan Summary: a) The reason for the selection thesis’s subject Currently, Vietnam power sector is not large enough to provide for social needs because of the failure to attract enough investors to participate in power plant construction Concurrently, the source of fossil fuels like coal and oil are increasingly scarce and expensive, while the potential of wind energy without the large development promotion b) Purpose, object and scope of the thesis - Purpose for study: Research, find out the mechanism to calculate the production cost of wind power to ensure that investors recover investment capital and there is profit expected in terms of state policies on electricity prices and electricity prices remain controlled consider the impact of policies in support of the Vietnamese government in the development of wind power - Object of thesis: Investors to participate in clean energy investment discharge, EVN grid connected power plants - Scope of thesis: Research and other potential wind projects wind power grid were deployed in Vietnam Thesis calculations and consider only the production cost of wind power project for a grid connected wind power plants with typical input data, support costs and the environment obtained by the clean development mechanism Research and price proposals for wind power system can be purchased c) Main content and new contributions of the author - Learn an overview of wind energy, wind turbines and wind power pricing method - Actual state of wind energy application in Vietnam and the world - Calculate the cost of wind power and the policies proposed project to prevent assistance Previous studies have focused on a specific project, there are geographic location and specific input data However, in this thesis is to build a project input sample learn through many projects have deployed - Conclusions and recommendations d) Methodology of study Obtaining some information about these projects have been deployed in Vietnam, from conferences of foreign ministries, to set the standard input parameters of typical samples of the project Then apply their knowledge about project management, cash flow, financial analysis revenues to calculate the basis of a national wind energy (the threshold penetration of wind power) Based on the basis of polycrystalline wind, review and propose policies to support the government to be able to attract investors to participate in the field e) Conclusion: Thesis completed calculating the threshold penetration of wind power in Vietnam However, due to the variation in the micro-lam in this period for factors such as interest rates, input costs rising lead to the introduction of the government concluded that much needs to subsidies that led to the project Security impossible with the current conditions of Vietnam while the wind potential in the U.S ranked first in the region Perhaps, we are forever pedestrians on road racing
