We offer a wide range of expertise and technical services for the whole cycle of the wind park. The construction and operation of the wind park is a complex and difficult task. Intelstav has the knowledge and technical resources to objective expertise required for the successful development of a wind park.We are updating our software packages for data sets needed to integrate wind power in Bulgari
a continuously. We work closely and use the products of world-renowned leaders in the modeling and simulation of weather forecasting. The result is a prediction of the amount of electricity that will be produced over time, accounting for changes throughout the day, week, month, year. We have a database for all over Bulgaria, divided by geographical and administrative criteria, which is crucial for the development of numerical simulations weather forecast and other statistical techniques. We are offering free statistical data for 11 years for the period 2000 - 2010, the (SYNOP, METAR, QSCAT), with an average speed and wind direction, temperature, power density (W / m²), etc.. with interval recording 180 minutes for 10 m height above ground and three monthly data on height above ground of 100 m for the period October, November, December 2011 (3TIER) with an interval of 60 minutes recording. We have detailed profiles of land,potentially suitable for the establishment of wind parks, with 10 minutes recording and horizontal resolution of 2 km. The integration of the energy,produced by wind power,in the grid in Bulgaria, creates major challenges given the changing nature of wind. Ensuring the reliability of the network on the one hand requires investment in infrastructure, such as new transmission lines and new energy technology dispatching stations, on the other hand, the use of meteorological statistics and methodologies for forecasting the produced electricity. The coordinated approach to weather forecasting will justify if the investments in the grid are necessary. Northeastern Bulgaria has the best wind resources in the country and installation costs become more competitive. What remains unclear is the cost of integrating large amounts of wind energy into the grid and what is required is how market and infrastructure adapt to upcoming and newly build capacity. We see the development of wind power and renewable energy sources not only as a means to combat climate change and increase our energy independence, but also as a form of sustainable economic growth and like a possibility of creating new work places.
