WINDENERGIEZIRKEL HANSE Bracing the Storms What are the prospects for wind energy in the decades to come? Will it outstrip fossil fuels? In his speech at a convention of WindEnergieZirkel Hanse, Dr Peter Ahmels, chairman of the German Federal Wind Energy Association, described the perspectives of his industry. To cope with climate change, renewable energy sources could contribute substantially to a reduction of HEALTHCARE Clinical Quality Assurance OPTIMISTIC. Dr Peter Ahmels, Chairman, Federal Wind Energy Association. All good things come in fours: Following certification of the quality management system, the cardiac unit, and the paediatric clinics of the Eppendorf University Clinics in Hamburg by Germanischer Lloyd Certification GmbH (GLC), a fourth department, the Clinical Trial Center North (CTC North), is now up for certification. The CTC North coordinates clinical studies and runs diagnostic tests (Phase I Unit). Through the certification procedure, GLC will check and evaluate the unit’s compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, and issue a certificate that remains valid for three years. A monitoring audit will be conducted once per year. Proven standard. Hospitals and other medical facilities are legally obliged to introduce an internal quality management system. CO 2 emissions associated with energy production. “In 2005, wind energy reduced CO 2 emissions in Germany by roughly 25 million tons,” said Ahmels. According to conservative estimates, 179 million tons of CO 2 emissions could be avoided worldwide by the end of the decade. The increasing production of electricity from renewable sources will reduce the dependency on fossil fuel imports while lowering the CERTIFICATES. Prof. Dr Rainer H. Böger (CTC North) and Rainer Schöndube (GL). NEWS | INDUSTRIAL SERVICES cost of electricity. “The Leipzig stock exchange is revealing today how wind energy can keep the prices of other energy forms in check,” Ahmels continued. He believes that the production costs of various forms of electrical energy will level out within the next ten years. Wind energy would then be among the least expensive sources of electricity. Due to the volatility of fossil fuel prices, the costs of new wind farms can be calculated more reliably today than those of traditional power plants. Improved business environment. Ahmels expects many “bureaucratic construction sites” to be eliminated in the coming years. Insufficient capacity will likely be eliminated through grid upgrades and new line installations. “In view of the positive effects of alternative energy sources on our climate, public support for exaggerated environmental protection demands will wane.” Eliminating redundant requirements, such as height limitations for wind turbines, will improve the effectiveness of wind power stations. New systems and consistent repowering will dramatically increase the energy yield. Ahmel predicts that wind turbines will not necessarily increase in number, but will increase their energy output. “The wind power sector is a classic growth industry,” he said. Sales are topping EUR 4 billion. Ahmels believes a 25% annual growth rate to be realistic. “You may rest assured that wind power will cook up quite a storm,” he said. DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 has proved to be an effective,process-oriented quality management standard for healthcare institutions worldwide. Checklists and questionnaires assist facilities in building an individualized quality management system. The CTC North was established in May 2006 as a unit of MediGate GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Clinics. The CTC North was officially opened seven months later, in November 2006. nonstop 4/2006 39
