Wind Power In Iran
The energy system of Iran relies primarily on fossil fuels. However, the country has made steps to decrease its dependency on fossil fuels by investing in wind power. With the help from Sadid Industrial Group (Iranian manufacturing company) and investments as well as resources from Indian ( Sulzon Energy) and German ( Siemens) wind turbine companies, Iran has been able to build a strong and stable wind sector. In 2004 Iran generated only 25 megawatts from wind power, 32 megawatts in 2005, and 45 megawatts in 2006. By 2009, total wind power capacity reached 130 megawatts. This was a result of the production of larger wind farms in more coastal and windy areas of Iran, such as Manjeel ( Gilan province) and Binaloud (Razavi Khorasan Province).

Fossil Fuel
A fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing material formed naturally in the Earth's crust from the remains of dead plants and animals that is extracted and burned as a fuel. The main fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels may be burned to provide heat for use directly (such as for cooking or heating), to power engines (such as internal combustion engines in motor vehicles), or to generate electricity. Some fossil fuels are refined into derivatives such as kerosene, gasoline and propane before burning. The origin of fossil fuels is the anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing organic molecules created by photosynthesis. The conversion from these materials to high-carbon fossil fuels typically require a geological process of millions of years. In 2019, 84% of primary energy consumption in the world and 64% of its electricity was from fossil fuels. The large-scale burning of fossil fuels causes serious environmental damage. Over 80% of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Suzlon
Suzlon Energy Limited (NSE:SUZLONEQ, BSE:532667) is an Indian multinational wind turbine manufacturer based in Pune, India. It was formerly ranked by MAKE as the world's fifth largest wind turbine supplier.Source: MAKE Report: Global Wind Turbine OEM 2013 Market Share. History In 1995, founder Tulsi Tanti was managing a 20-employee textile company. Due to the erratic availability of power locally, and its rising costs, the highest business expenditure after the raw materials was electricity. The cost of electricity also offset any profits made by the company. After providing electricity for his own company, Tanti moved into wind energy production as a way to secure the textile company's energy needs, and founded Suzlon Energy. Suzlon adopted a business model wherein clients would be responsible for 25% of the up-front capital investment and Suzlon would arrange the remaining 75% on loan. Initially, banks were hesitant to fund loans for this model, but by 2008, many Indian ban ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Manjil And Rudbar Wind Farm
Manjil, Harzvil, Siahpoush and Rudbar Wind Farms are wind farms located in Gilan, Iran. In 1995 the Iranian governors decided to use renewable energies in Iran and started to develop wind farms in Manjil area. They start with installing a Nord Tank NTK-500/37 wind turbine. They added other products of Nordtank such as NTK-300/35 and NTK-550/42. The developer was Iran Renewable energies organization (SUNA) as representative of TAVANIR, and they chose Saba-Niroo as Iranian manufacturer to produce wind turbines in Iran. Saba-Niroo signed a joint venture agreement with Vestas to produce V47-660/45 in Iran. Moshanir power engineering consultants were the consultants of the project.

Energy Of Iran
Iran has the fourth largest oil reserves and the 2nd largest natural gas reserves in the world. The nation is a member of OPEC, and generates approximately 50% of state revenue through oil exports. Most energy in Iran is generated through natural gas, and the country is the third largest producer of natural gas in the world. Oil in Iran is a major cause of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Iran also has the ability to generate significant power from renewable resources; due to the nation's closeness to the equator, 90% of its land area could provide solar power for at least 300 days a year. solar power is very underdeveloped. History Iran is in a constant battle to use its energy resources more effectively in the face of subsidization and the need for technological advances in energy exploration and production. Energy wastage in Iran amounts to six or seven billion dollars (2008). The energy consumption in the country is extraordinarily higher than internati ...
