Russia is seriously lagging behind EU states and
other developed countries both in the field of development
and application of wind power facilities. At present
Russia has almost no commercially operational wind
power plants with capacities exceeding 10 KW that
would have undergone all the required tests, production
and designing adjustment and that would be competitive
with foreign wind power facilities by technical
and operational parameters.
Current Russian developments in the field of wind
power plants are comparable to similar foreign plants
of the 80-s. The 1 MW wind plant “Raduga” (developed
by the design office “Raduga”) was being created
since 1988. Its experimental testing is still incomplete,
and the only such experimental plant erected in
the Republic of Kolmykia basically collapsed in
2002.
The 30 KW wind plant “Zhavoronok” (developed the
Institute for Thermal Engineering) was being developed
since 1989. Currently there has been constructed
a pilot unit, however in terms of technical and
economic parameters the plant is 1.5-2 times less
efficient than similar foreign makes. The wind power
plant “AVE-250” (developed by NPO “Yuzhnoe”, Ukraine)
with capacity of 250/100 KW was being developed
since 1988.
Despite the fact that their application was banned
in Ukraine where none of dozens of plants have been
put into operation due to their practical inoperability
(current repair expenditures by many times exceeded
profit gained from power generation), such plants
were still being installed in Russia until the “Yuzhmash”
factory completely shut down their production and
started to manufacture licensed wind power plants
(American and European). Some companies manufacture
small series of wind power stations with capacities
up to 5 KW. These companies include Central Research
& Development Institute “Elektropribor” (wind power
stations “UVE-500”, 500 W) and NPO “Elektrosfera”
(wind power stations of 5 KW).
