13. Installed Capacity: China, India, USA Source: EIA, http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf63.html China & India have plans to add over 500 GW of nuclear capacity to meet their power needs GigaWatts Gas Coal
14. Installed Wind Capacity – Top 10 Countries China United States Germany Spain India Italy France UK Canada Denmark Source: Global Wind Energy Council Compiled by Curtt Ammerman
16. Solar PV manufacturing capacity Source: http://www.ren21.net/Portals/97/documents/GSR/REN21_GSR2011.pdf Cost of PV modules: $1.30-1.80/Watt p Cost of installation: ~constant at $3-4/Watt p
17. Cornering Markets: Power Systems Manufacturing Capacity Countries need markets to maintain capacity China India Total2010 Thermal (Coal) ~ 100 GW 5-7 GW Nuclear Developing standardized LWR, HWR, FNR with cost goal of $2000/kW Standardized 660 MW PHWR yet to be commercialized Hydro T&G sets ~20 GW ~2 GW Solar cells & modules 9 GW 1.5 GW imports wafers from China 24 Wind Turbines 13 GW Local Content Law 2004-09 3.5 GW One company = Suzlon 36
18. Promoting Regional Cooperation: The most effective and economical way of transporting natural gas is through pipelines Morocco–Indonesia can develop using natural gas Multiple benefits of regional cooperation
Last of the road, sea, air, rail quartet to start getting infrastructure development support Scale and short time of change Collaboration followed by domination
Analogue: US highway system interconnecting all states to markets
Rail fills the gap between air transport and road. Will most people / good be able to afford the price?
China will have dismantled 71 GW of in-efficient and small coal fired power plants since 2006 The USA has 104 nuclear power reactors in 31 states, operated by 30 different power companies. In 2008, the country generated 4,119 billion kWh net of electricity, 49% of it from coal-fired plant, 22% from gas and 6% from hydro. Nuclear achieved a capacity factor of 91.1%, generating 805 billion kWh and accounting for almost 20% of total electricity generated in 2008. Total capacity is 1088 GWe, less than one-tenth of which is nuclear. Annual electricity demand is projected to increase to 5000 billion kWh in 2030. Annual per capita electricity consumption is currently around 12,400 kWh.
Once you build such a large manufacturing capacity – control depends on who gets there first
Develop the best workforce and infrastructure to adopt technology, indigenize it and scale up production to outsell competition These goals engaged the general public – the full spectrum of society
