MENDELNET 2013Fig. 3 Map of the Czech Republic - the averagewind speed 100 m above the ground,Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academy ofSciences of the Czech RepublicFig. 4 Sitemap wind farms in the SouthMoravian RegionThe map of the Czech Republic can be found at Fig. 3, where the colours shows the average windspeed at a height of 100 m above the surface. Here it is confirmed that the South Moravian Regiondoes not have suitable climatic conditions for the construction of WPP. The county has the thirdlowest installed capacity of WPP (8.3 MW). According to ERO, 14 GWh of electricity wereproduced by wind turbines in 2012. If we compare the total electricity production in SMR, which is1,544 GWh, and the amount of electricity produced only by the wind power stations, it is clear thatWPP are only an additional source of energy. SMR is significantly below average in terms of windspeed needed for energy production. The suitable areas are faced either with the protection ofnature and landscape, or interfere with the migratory routes of large birds (storks).The areas suitable for the installation of wind power plants are mainly located in the district ofZnojmo, where all the case studies are situated (Fig. 4). They are WPP Břežany with total capacityof 4.25 MW, WPP Bantice with a total capacity of 2 MW and WPP Tulešice with a total capacityof 2 MW. Five wind turbines were installed in the village Břežany in 2005. One wind power stationwas installed in the village Bantice in 2008. And one wind turbine was built in Tulešice in 2009.The Wind Park Břežany consists of five wind turbines type Vestas V52 (Fig. 5). The total height ofa tower is 74 m. Total installed capacity of the wind farm is 4.25 MW and energy supplies 2,477households. The cost of construction of the park was 128 million CZK. The Park is operated by thecompany W.E.B Wind Energy s.r.o, Brno. One wind turbine in wind park Břežany (850 kW) willsave more than 50,000 tons of brown coal. Thereby it will save up to 120,000 tons of carbondioxide during twenty years of WPP life. The project Wind Park Břežany has been designed withrespect for the landscape and at the same time to meet the technical requirements. The park islocated along the railroad tracks partially covered by self-seeding trees and about 1.5 km from themain buildings of the village. This is particularly useful to reduce the noise emissions of the WindPark.The next site is Bantice. Wind power station in Bantice is represented by the device type VestasV90 with an installed capacity of 2 MW, tower height of 105 m. This WPP can provide power for1,400 households. The WPP is operated by the company W.E.B Wind Energy s.r.o, Brno too.During its twenty-year life the wind turbine will save 110,000 tons of brown coal. Thanks to aspecial system, that was installed, there is an increase in energy production and it minimizes noiseemissions. The main benefit for the community contribution is 200,000 CZK per year from theWPP operator.513 | P age
