Abstract
US demand to rise 6.8% annually through 2012
In light of rising interest in developing domestic renewable energy resources,
such as wind, that are cleaner and are not subject to the fuel price shocks,
demand for wind turbine systems and components is expected to increase 6.8
percent per year to $10.1 billion in 2012. Gains will also be driven by
renewable portfolio standards at the state level, as well as continued
political will to support incentives that help make wind energy more cost
competitive. Furthermore, this industry benefits from a relatively established
manufacturing process, although continued technological development will make
wind energy more competitive in a growing number of areas with lower wind
speeds and in offshore installations.
Utility-scale applications to remain dominant
Despite the continued development of vertical wind turbine systems and those
designed for distributed power applications, horizontal axis turbines for
utilityscale projects will continue to dominate the wind turbine system market
through the forecast period. Most wind turbine sales in the US will be for
on-shore applications through the 2017; however, a growing number of turbine
systems will be installed for off-shore applications, particularly in the
northern Atlantic waters and the Great Lakes, through the forecast period.
This advancement will be driven in part by the establishment of state and
federal regulatory schemes, and technological improvements that enable
installation in a wider range of locations.
Rotor systems to post stronger value sales gains
The primary components of a wind turbine system are the nacelle, the rotor
system and the tower. In 2007, the nacelle and its internal components
accounted for the largest share of wind turbine system value sales with 59
percent. However, the value sales of rotor systems will post stronger gains in
light of the use of increasingly long blades made of highervalue materials
that are stronger and lighter than previous generations.
Less established wind energy regions to grow faster
Much of the US has strong wind energy potential with large areas of open land
rated windy enough for efficient power generation and a shallow continental
shelf along the Atlantic shoreline. As of 2007, the West South Central
subregion accounted for the largest share of sales with 33 percent, driven by
the high level of installed wind energy capacity in Texas and Oklahoma.
However, subregions with less established wind energy markets are expected to
post stronger gains through 2012.
