apps Other research product2005 FinlandAuthors: Martikainen, Antti;Tässä diplomityössä tutkittiin ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutusta sähköverkkoliiketoimintaan. Ilmastonmuutosennusteet laadittiin RCAOilmastomallin antamien laskelmien perusteella. Ilmastomuuttujien ennusteet tehtiin ajanjaksolle 2016 - 2045 ja ennusteiden vertailujaksona käytettiin ajanjaksoa 1960 - 1990. Ennusteet laadittiin sadannalle, lämpötilalle, kuuraantumiselle, huurteelle, ukkoselle, routaantumiselle ja tuulisuudelle. Ilmastomuuttujien vaikutukset arvioitiin sekä tekniseltä että taloudelliselta kannalta. Ilmastonmuutoksen myötä on odotettavissa, että ilmastomuuttujien aiheuttamat rasitukset verkkoliiketoimintaa kohtaan tulevat olemaan niistä saatuja hyötyjä suuremmat. Vikamäärien kasvu on merkittävin ja haastavin ilmastonmuutoksen aiheuttama haitta. Ukkonen, lumikuormat ja tuuli tulevat aiheuttamaan nykyistä enemmän vikoja erityisesti keskijänniteverkoissa avojohdoille ellei verkkoja kehitetä vikavarmemmiksi. Lämpötilan nousun seurauksena lämmitystarve laskee ja jäähdytystarve nousee. Tämä näkyy merkittävimmin voimakkaasti lämpötilariippuvaisten käyttäjäryhmien sähkönkulutuksessa ja huippukuormissa. In this paper the effect of climate change on electricity network business is presented. The results are based on RCAO climate model scenarios. The climate predictions were composed to the period 2016 - 2045. The period 1960 - 1990 was used as a control period. The climate predictions were composed for precipitation, temperature, hoarfrost, thunder, ground frost and wind. The effects of the change of the climate variables on electricity network business were estimated from technical and economical points of view. The estimationwas based on the change predictions of the climate variables. It is expected that the climate change will cause more damages than benefits on electrical network business. The increase of the number of network fault will be the most important and demanding disadvantage caused by the climate change. If networks are not developed more resistant for faults, thunder, heavy snow and wind will cause more damages especially to overhead lines in medium voltage network. As a consequence of increasing temperature the demand of heating energy will decrease and the demand of cooling energy will increase. This is significant for the electricity consumption and the peak load of temperaturedependent electricity users.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2009 FinlandAuthors: Aaltonen, Jenni;Tämän diplomityön tarkoituksena on selvittää Suomen poliittisten päättäjien sekä heidän sidosryhmien mielipiteitä energiatehokkuuden lisäämisestä erityisesti yritysten näkökulmasta. Tämän lisäksi työssä selvitetään poliittisten päättäjien tärkeimpiä sidosryhmiä energiapoliittisia asioita käsiteltäessä. Tutkimuksen teoriaosassa keskitytään energiatehokkuuden kehittymiseen, energiatehokkuuden hyötyihin, keinoihin energiatehokkuuden edistämiseksi sekä uusimpiin energiatehokkuutta koskeviin strategioihin, lainsäädäntöihin ja sopimuksiin. Tutkimusaineisto kerätään laadullisella ja määrällisellä tutkimusmenetelmällä. Tarvittavan informaation saamiseksi suoritetaan eduskunnan talous-, tulevaisuus- ja ympäristövaliokunnalle kysely, joka toteutetaan Internetin välityksellä. Sidosryhmiltä tieto kerätään haastatteluilla. Tutkimustuloksien mukaan energiatehokkuuteen ei ole panostettu tarpeeksi Suomessa ja se on yksi keskeisimmistä keinoista torjua ilmastonmuutos. Yleisesti ottaen asenteet energiatehokkuuden lisäämiseksi ovat selvästi parantuneet viimevuosien aikana. Tärkeimmäksi sidosryhmäksi nousi selkeästi Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriö, mutta myös Energiateollisuus ry sekä kansalais- ja ympäristöjärjestöt koettiin tärkeiksi. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to find out Finnish political decision-makers and their interest groups opinions of energy efficiency especially from companies’ point of view. This work also determines political decision-makers most importants interest groups when discussing about energy politics. The theory part in this thesis focus on improving energy efficiency, benefits of energy efficiency, resorts to improve energy efficiency and the newest strategies, laws and contracts that aim to improve energy efficiency. Research data is gathered with qualitative and quantitative research methods. This thesis performs a questioning to parliaments economy-, future- and environment committee to gather the information. The questioning is conducted through Internet. Interest groups opinions are collected with an interview. Research result reveals that in Finland hasn’t been invested enough for energy efficiency and that energy efficiency is an important way to reject climate change. Political decision-makers attitudes for improving energy efficiency have gotten better during last years. The most important political decision-makers are Ministry of Employment and the Economy, but also Finnish Energy Industries and civil and environmental organizations.

Climate policy analysis necessitates a model of the whole EU area, because CO2 emissions of the EU area emission trading sector determine the demand and price of emission allowances. The main conclusion from model simulations is that output and employment losses induced by EU climate policy in 2008-2012 will be more se-vere in a small open energy intensive economy like Finland than in the rest of the EU area. The negative impacts of EU climate policy on export competitiveness, exports and output volume in Finland will be strongest in the energy intensive industrial sec-tors which belong to the EU emission trading sector.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2014 FinlandPublisher:Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto / Lappeenranta University of Technology Authors: Vinokurov, Mihail; Hammo, Simo; Hupponen, Mari; Luoranen, Mika;Hanke tähtää Lappeenrannan julkisen rakennuskannan energiatehokkuuden ja kokonaistaloudellisuuden parantamiseen. Energiatehokkuutta ja kokonaistaloudellisuutta kunnallisessa rakentamisessa kannustavat mm. kansainvälisten ja kansallisten sopimusten energiansäästötavoitteet, sekä kuntien tiukka budjettitilanne. Hankkeen yhteydessä on laadittu arviointikriteeristö rakennusinvestoinneista vastaavien viranomaisten käyttöön, mikä helpottaa tunnistamaan energiatehokkaita, kokonaistaloudellisia sekä laadukasta sisäilmastoa tukevia rakennusinvestointien toteutuskäytäntöjä. Kriteeristö on suunniteltu erityisesti kasvatus- ja opetustarkoituksiin suunnattuja rakennuksia varten. Jotta kokonaistaloudellisuustavoitteet täyttyisivät, työssä käytettiin hyväksi elinkaariajattelutapaa. Kriteerit laadittiin rakennuksen kolmelle tavoitteiden toteutumisen kannalta merkittävälle elinkaaren vaiheelle, eli suunnittelu-, toteutus- ja käyttövaiheelle. Kriteeristö on laadittu kirjallisuuden ja ammattilaisten haastattelujen tarjoaman tiedon pohjalta. Laadittua kriteeristöä koekäytettiin Myllymäen päiväkoti -hankkeen yhteydessä, jotta voitaisiin tunnistaa kriteeristön kehitystarpeita. Koekäytön yhteydessä toteutettiin myös mielipidekysely, jonka avulla kerättiin kriteeristön kehitysehdotuksia rakennushankkeen eri osapuolilta. Koekäytön tarjoaman tiedon nojalla kriteeristöä jatkokehitettiin vastaamaan paremmin käytännön tarpeita. Koekäyttö kohdistui kohteen suunnitteluvaiheeseen. Hankkeessa saavutettiin asetetut tavoitteet. Voidaan kuitenkin todeta, että kriteeristön jatkokehittämistä on syytä jatkaa. Koekäytön ulottaminen toteutus ja käyttövaiheeseen on tärkeää. Kriteeristön käsittelyalueen laajentamiselle korjausrakentamiseen sekä alueellisen tarkastelutavan käyttöönotolle olisi myös tarvetta. The aim of this project is the creation of a tool to improve the energy efficiency, overall economy and indoor climate quality in the public building stock of Lappeenranta. The motivation to improve the energy and cost efficiency in public buildings related to inter alia the energy saving targets set by international and national agreements and the economic challenges of municipalities. In the frames of this project, a set of evaluation criteria was created to help the officials responsible for building investments to identify methods for the implementation of new construction projects that promote energy and cost efficiency as well as indoor climate quality. The primary targets of the criteria are educational buildings. Life-cycle approach was used in this work in terms to ensure overall economy targets. The criteria were created for three phases of buildings’ life-cycle that were identified to be important from the perspective of the set targets. These phases were the design phase, construction phase and operational phase. The creation of criteria was based on the information gained from literature, interviews of professionals and the trial phase of criteria. In terms to identify the functionality of criteria, they were exposed for trial at the building project of Myllymäki kindergarten in Lappeenranta. The trial focused on the design phase of the object. In addition, the survey was conducted in terms to receive feedback and development proposals on the criteria from different parties of the building project. By using the new experience gained from the trial phase, the criteria were further developed. The targets set for this projects were met. However, it should be mentioned that there is a need to continue the further development of the criteria in the future. In addition to the design phase, it is important to extend the trial to the construction and operational phases. The extension of the scope of criteria to renovation projects and the implementation of a regional approach would also be important development steps. Loppuraportti

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2018 FinlandAuthors: Kärkkäinen, Petteri;Uusiutuvan energian osuutta maailman energiantuotannossa halutaan kasvattaa, ja yksi sopiva energialähde on tuulienergia. Tuuliturbiinien rakentaminen on Suomessa ollut kasvussa, mikä tarkoittaa, että turbiineja rakennetaan entistä enemmän sisämaahan metsäiseen maastoon. Tämä tuo haasteita turbiinien rakentamiselle ja valinnalle sekä tuotannon optimoinnille. Metsäinen maasto, tai mikä tahansa virtauksien tielle osuva este, hidastaa tuulen nopeutta ja aiheuttaa tuuleen turbulenssia. Tässä työssä analysoidaan metsäisessä maastossa mitatusta tuulidatasta tuuligradientin ja tuulen turbulenssin jaksottaisuutta ja tilastollisuutta. Turbulenssin osalta käytetään turbulenssin intensiteettiä. Jaksottaisuutta tarkastellaan vuorokauden ja vuodenajan mukaan. Tutkimusaineistona toimii Lappeenrannassa TuuliMuukon tuulipuistossa LiDAR-tutkalla (Light Detection And Ranging) mitattu tuulidata. Datan analysointiin käytetään Matlab-ohjelmaa. Analysoinnissa havaittiin tuuligradientilla ja turbulenssin intensiteetillä olevan vuorokausijaksottaisuutta. Tuuligradientti vaihtelee vuorokauden aikana siten, että se on pienempää päivän aikana ja suurempaa yön aikana. Turbulenssin intensiteetti vaihtelee päinvastaisesti. Tilastollisesti suurin osa tuuligradientin eksponenttiarvon arvoista on välillä 0,2-0,6. Tuuligradientin potenssiarvo vaihtelee vuodenajan mukaan hieman, ja pienimpänä potenssiarvo on lämpiminä kuukausina kuten toukokuussa. Graafisen tarkastelun perusteella tuuligradientti poikkeaa selvästi standardin mukaisesta arvosta ainakin maaliskuussa. Turbulenssin intensiteetin arvot jakautuvat välille 0,02-0,2, joista suurin osa on välillä 0,10-0,16. Turbulenssin intensiteetin jakaumien perusteella tuuliolosuhteet näyttävät olevan standardien mukaisia, pois lukien tarkastelluista kuukausista syyskuun jakauman, joka poikkesi standardin mukaisesta. There is a need to increase the share of renewable energy in the world’s energy production and one suitable energy source is wind energy. The construction of wind turbines in Finland has been growing, which means that the turbines are built more and more inland where the terrain is forested. This brings challenges for the construction, selection and optimization of production of the wind turbines. Forested terrain, or any other obstacle, slows down the wind and causes turbulence to the wind. This bachelor’s thesis analyzes the wind conditions’, wind shear and turbulence, periodicity and statisticality from wind data that has been measured in forested area. Turbulence intensity is chosen to represent turbulence. Periodicity is viewed from the point of diurnal and seasonal variation. The research material used is wind data measured in Lappeenranta in TuuliMuukko wind farm with a LiDAR-radar (Light Detection and Ranging). Matlab-software is used to analyze the data. The wind shear and turbulence intensity were observed to have periodicity in diurnal time interval. The wind shear varies such as it is smaller during day and bigger during night. The turbulence intensity varies the other way around. Statistically the biggest share of the wind shear exponent’s values are between 0.2 and 0.6. The wind shear exponent varies a little by the season and the smallest it is during the warmest months like in May. Based on graphical review, the wind shear diverges clearly from the standard value at least during March. The values of turbulence intensity divide between 0.02 and 0.2, and the greater part are between 0.10 and 0.16. Based on the distribution of the turbulence intensity, the wind conditions look to be in accordance with standards, excluding September’s distribution which diverged from the standard values.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2013 FinlandAuthors: Käyhty, Heini;Maailmanlaajuinen ilmastopolitiikka asettaa vaativia tavoitteita hiilidioksidipäästöjen vähentämiselle. Suurin haaste on tuottaa energiaa mahdollisimman alhaisin kustannuksin käyttäen uusiutuvia ja ympäristöä säästäviä energiamuotoja. Tuulivoimasta on tullut nopeimmin kehittyvä sähköntuotantotapa, ja tuuliturbiinien koon kasvun myötä on myös generaattorien koko kasvanut merkittävästi 1990-luvulta lähtien. Generaattorin massiivisuus suoravetoisessa tuuliturbiinin voimansiirrossa vaatii tarkkoja kuormitustarkasteluja, jotta rakenne kestäisi tuuliturbiinin eliniän. Tuuliturbiinin kuormitukset ovat stokastisia ja toisinaan erittäin suuria, mikä vaikeuttaa kuormitusten määrittämistä. Tuulen kuormitusten lisäksi generaattori altistuu eri toimintojen kautta muillekin kuormituksille, ja tästä syystä on otettava huomioon jarrutuksen, dynaamisen tasapainon ja ohjauksen sekä verkkovikojen aiheuttamat rasitukset tuuliturbiinin voimansiirrolle. Edellisten lisäksi työssä on tarkasteltu erilaisia rakenneratkaisuja sekä pyritty kiinnittämään huomio niiden kuormankantokykyyn ja jäykkyyteen sekä generaattorin keventämismahdollisuuksiin verrattuna perinteisiin radiaalivuogeneraattoreihin. Työssä on pyritty selvittämään rakenteen kuormitukset siten, että pystyttäisiin optimoimaan mahdollisimman kevyt rakenne. Optimoinnin kohteena on pinnarakenteisen generaattorin rakenteen massa puolien, puolan kulmien sekä tukirenkaan ja niistä aiheutuvien erilaisten rakenneyhdistelmien suhteen tarkasteltuna. Worldwide climate policy and the global climate agreement strongly demand to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The greatest challenge is to produce low cost energy with renewable methods. Wind power is one of the fastest developing methods to produce electricity and with the growth of the wind turbine size the wind turbine generators have become heavier and the size of the generators has grown since the beginning of 1990's. The massive generators in wind turbine drivetrain require many kinds of structural analysis to enable the structure to last the lifetime of the wind turbine. Wind turbine loads are stochastic and sometimes very big due to wind, which makes the load determination very demanding. In addition to wind loads, additional loads due to various functions affect the generator as well. For this reason, it is advisable to take into account braking, dynamic balance, dynamic control and electrical network failure impact to the drivetrain loads of the generator. In this study different structural solutions have been examined and a great effort has been made to find out what is the feature of the structure that carries the load and also, the potential of the existing lightweight wind turbine generators compared to the structure of the conventional radial flux generator has been taken into consideration. Furthermore, the goal of this study has been to find out a way to determine wind turbine generator loads in a way that makes it possible to optimize the lightweight structure. The target of the optimization in the structure is the number of the spokes, the spoke angle and the support ring in a generator and the weight gain on the structure of different combinations caused by them.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2014 FinlandAuthors: Europaeus, Veera;Suomessa on sitouduttu kansainvälisiin päästövähennystavoitteisiin ja uusiutuvan ener-gian osuuden kasvattamiseen. Biohiili on erinomainen polttoainevaihtoehto kivihiili-voimalaitoksissa, sillä sitä voidaan käyttää suurellakin seososuudella ilman merkittäviä rakenteellisia muutoksia polttoaineen syöttölaitteistoihin tai kattilaan. Biohiiltä voidaan käyttää myös metallurgiassa pelkistimenä, maanparannusaineena ja hiilinieluna. Biohiilen raaka-aineena toimii energia- ja kuitupuuhake. Parikkalan lähialueella on hyödyn-nettävissä olevaa teknis-taloudellista metsäenergiapotentiaalia keskisuuren biojalostamon perustamista varten. Biohiilen teoreettinen markkinapotentiaali on valtava, mutta sen taloudelliset kannattavuusnäkymät ovat heikot nykyhintatasolla. Biohiilen kilpailukykyä heikentävät kivihiilen ja päästöoikeuksien alhaiset hinnat ja biohiilen korkeat tuotantokustannukset. Biohiilimarkkinoiden kehittymistä jarruttaa myös olemassa olevan tuotannon puute. Biohiilen käyttöönotto edellyttäisi kansainvälisiä tukitoimia tai kivihiilen hinnan kasvua. Finland is committed to the international emission reduction targets and to increase the share of renewable energy. Biochar is an excellent alternative fuel for coal-fired power plants because it can be used even with a large share of the mixture without major struc-tural changes in the fuel supply installations or boiler. Biochar can also be used as a reducing agent in metallurgy, in a soil improvement and as a carbon sink. A raw material of the biochar is energy- and pulpwood chips. In the surrounding area of Parikkala there exists utilizable technical and economic potential of forest energy to establish a medium size biorefinery. Theoretical market potential of biochar is huge but its financial profitability prospects are weak at current prices. Low prices of coal and carbon emissions and high production costs reduce the competitiveness of biochar. The devel-opment of biochar markets are also obstructed because of the lack of existing biochar production. Biochar would require international measure of support or coal price growth.

Tavoitteisiin päästäkseen yritykset ja kunnalliset energiankuluttajat kaipaavat usein apua kannattavien energiansäätökeinojen löytämiseksi. Erilaiset energiakatselmukset vastaavat tähän tarpeeseen ja ovat esimerkki tuloksellisesta energiansäästöstä. Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto on tutkinut energiatehokkuutta pitkään erilaisissa projekteissa teollisuuden kanssa yhteistyössä. Osa LUT:n energiatehokkuustutkimusta ovat energia-auditoinnit yrityksille ja kunnille, joita LUT Energian projektin puitteissa alettiin kehittää vuoden 2008 syksyllä. Energia-auditointien fokuksena on pyritty pitämään pumppausprosessien energiatehokkuuden optimointia, sillä aihetta on tutkittu yliopistolla laajasti. Pumppausprosesseissa on todettu olevan merkittävä energiansäästöpotentiaali: pumppauksen kuluttamasta energiasta voi olla mahdollista säästää jopa 50 % erilaisilla laite- ja säästötaparatkaisuilla. Pumppausprosessien energia-auditointeja on tehty teollisuuden pumppauskohteisiin kuin myös kunnallisiin vesi-huoltolaitoksiin. Lisäksi energia-auditointien puitteissa on tutkittu energiansäästömahdollisuuksia rakennuksissa. Energiansäästökohteita etsitään sekä lämpö- että sähköenergian osalta. Energia-auditoinneissa pumppausten osalta energiansäästöpotentiaalia on todettu olevan etenkin suuren kokoluokan pumpuissa, joilla on pitkä vuosittainen käyttöaika. Myös pumppujen säätötavalla on suuri merkitys energiankulutukseen. Rakennusten osalta on pyritty selvittämään, kuinka energiankulutus jakautuu eri kulutusryhmien kesken. Säästökohteita on löydetty muun muassa rakennusten tiiviydestä, ilmanvaihdosta kuin valaistuksestakin. Monia auditointien asiakkaita on kiinnostanut etenkin led-teknologian hyödyntäminen yleisvalaistuksessa sekä muut keinot säästää valaistuksen energiankulutuksessa. Pyrkimyksenä on kehittää energia-auditointeja projektin aikana saavutettujen kokemusten avulla sekä myös liiketaloudellisessa mielessä opinnäytetutkielmien avulla. Menestyksekäs palveluliiketoiminta edellyttää määriteltyjä toimintatapoja, riittävän tarkkaa palvelujen rajausta ja koko energia-auditointiprosessin kehittämistä aina asiakassuhteen luomisesta sen jatko-hoitoon saakka. Nowadays energy saving goals are challenging energy consumers in the industrial- and municipal sector as well. To reach these goals many energy consumers need help to figure out economic ways to save energy. Energy audits by an outside consultant are useful help when determining the energy saving potential of the company. Energy audits are good examples of successful energy saving. Lappeenranta University of Technology has done energy efficiency related research for a long period in interactive cooperation with Finnish companies. Parts of the LUT’s energy efficiency research are energy audits for different kind of energy consumers. LUT’s energy audit project was started in the fall of 2008. Focus of the LUT’s energy audits has been energy efficiency of pumping processes, because the subject is widely studied at the department of LUT Energy. It has been indicated that the energy consumption of a pumping system might be decreased up to 50 percent by changing the drive components with more efficient ones and by changing the applied control method of the pump. LUT’s energy audits have been implemented for pumping processes in industry and also for municipal water supply and sewerage systems. In addition to pumping systems LUT’s energy audits have studied energy consumption of structures. An energy audit for building takes into account the HVAC systems of the structure and figures out ways to save energy for example in heating, ventilation and lighting. In energy audits energy saving potential has been discovered especially at the large sized pumps which are running most of the time. Also the applied control method of the pump has shown to play a significant role in energy efficiency of the pumping system. When it comes to the energy audits of buildings, the main points of consumption have been revealed. LUT’s energy audits have discovered energy saving potential for example in ventilation, lighting and insulation of the structure. Led-technology and its possibilities in general lighting has been one of the fields that many clients of the audits have been especially interested in. There is an aim to develop LUT’s energy audits by means of the experience gained during the auditing project. Energy auditing process is under improvements also from the business economical point of view by thesis study. Service oriented business requires defined methods, focusing and development of the whole service chain from creating the customer connections to after care of the customership.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2015 FinlandAuthors: Martikainen, Antti;Vesivoimalla on merkittävä rooli pohjoismaisessa sähköntuotantojärjestelmässä. Spot-markkinoille tarjottavan vesivoiman hinta riippuu vaihtoehtoisen tuotannon hinnasta ja odotetusta vesivoimantuottajien käytettävissä olevasta veteen sitoutuneen potentiaalienergian määrästä. Hydrologisella tilanteella tarkoitetaan tässä tämän potentiaalienergian poikkeamaa normaalitasostaan. Viime vuosina tuulivoimatuotanto pohjoismaisella sähkömarkkina-alueella on kasvanut voimakkaasti, ja on tullut aiheelliseksi tarkastella, millaisia vaikutuksia tällä on vesivoimantuottajien toimintaan. Työssä määritellään vesivoimalle vaihtoehtoisen sähköntuotannon tuotantokustannus, joka pitkällä aikavälillä toimii vertailutasona, jonka perusteella vesivoimantuottajat määrittävät markkinoilla tarjontahinnan tuotannolleen. Tarkastellaan, kuinka hydrologisen tilanteen ja vaihtoehtoisen tuotannon tuotantokustannusten muutokset vaikuttavat vesiarvoon, joka on hinta, jolla hintariippuvaista eli säätyvää vesivoimaa tarjotaan spot-markkinoille. Todetaan, että hydrologisen tilanteen vahvistuminen ja vaihtoehtoisen tuotantokustannuksen aleneminen alentavat vesiarvoja. Todetaan lisäksi, että tuulivoima vaikuttaa sähkön hinnanmuodostukseen markkinoilla samankaltaisesti kuin hintariippumaton vesivoimatuotanto. Esitetään aikasarjamalli vesivoimatuotannon hintariippuvuuden mallintamiseksi. Vertaillaan vesivoimatuottajien toimintaa kahdella vesivoimatuotantoa sisältävällä hinta-alueella, joista toisella tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut voimakkaammin kuin toisella. Havaitaan, että molemmilla hinta-alueilla hydrologisen tilanteen vahvistuminen on alentanut ja heikkeneminen nostanut vesiarvoja. Lisäksi havaitaan, että alueella, jonka tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut enemmän, vesiarvot ovat laskeneet suhteessa alueen, jolla tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut vähemmän, vesiarvoihin. Tuulivoiman voidaan todeta syrjäyttäneen markkinoilta tuotantokustannuksiltaan kalliimpaa tuotantoa. Hydropower plays a significant role in the Nordic electric power generation system. The offering price of price-dependent hydropower generation capacity offered to spot markets is dependent on the cost of alternative generation and the expected amount of potential energy contained in water that will be available for hydropower generators to use in the future. In this study hydrological conditions are understood to mean the deviation of this potential energy from its normal value. During recent years wind power generation has rapidly increased in the Nordic market and thus its effect on hydropower generation is analyzed in this thesis. The production cost of power generation alternative to hydropower is defined. Hydropower generators use this cost as a reference as they set their offering price of price-dependent generation capacity on the spot market. The effects of variations in hydrological conditions and the cost of alternative production on water value are studied. Water value is defined as the price at which price dependent hydropower generation capacity is offered to the spot market. It is found that the strengthening of hydrological conditions and the falling of the cost of alternative generation lower water values. Another finding is that wind power generation and non-price dependent hydropower generation have similar effects on the price formation of electric power. A time-series model is presented for modelling the relationship between the capacity and water value of hydropower generation offered to spot markets. The model is used to study this relationship in two hydropower-producing price areas, of which one has seen a large increase in the amount of wind power generation in recent years. The modelling results show that the strengthening of hydrological conditions has led to lower water values in both price areas. The increase in wind power production has likely caused hydropower generators in the price area with a large increase in wind power generation to lower their water values relative to those in the price area with a small increase in wind power generation. From this the conclusion is drawn that wind power has superseded generation with a higher marginal cost in the market.

apps Other research product2005 FinlandAuthors: Martikainen, Antti;Tässä diplomityössä tutkittiin ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutusta sähköverkkoliiketoimintaan. Ilmastonmuutosennusteet laadittiin RCAOilmastomallin antamien laskelmien perusteella. Ilmastomuuttujien ennusteet tehtiin ajanjaksolle 2016 - 2045 ja ennusteiden vertailujaksona käytettiin ajanjaksoa 1960 - 1990. Ennusteet laadittiin sadannalle, lämpötilalle, kuuraantumiselle, huurteelle, ukkoselle, routaantumiselle ja tuulisuudelle. Ilmastomuuttujien vaikutukset arvioitiin sekä tekniseltä että taloudelliselta kannalta. Ilmastonmuutoksen myötä on odotettavissa, että ilmastomuuttujien aiheuttamat rasitukset verkkoliiketoimintaa kohtaan tulevat olemaan niistä saatuja hyötyjä suuremmat. Vikamäärien kasvu on merkittävin ja haastavin ilmastonmuutoksen aiheuttama haitta. Ukkonen, lumikuormat ja tuuli tulevat aiheuttamaan nykyistä enemmän vikoja erityisesti keskijänniteverkoissa avojohdoille ellei verkkoja kehitetä vikavarmemmiksi. Lämpötilan nousun seurauksena lämmitystarve laskee ja jäähdytystarve nousee. Tämä näkyy merkittävimmin voimakkaasti lämpötilariippuvaisten käyttäjäryhmien sähkönkulutuksessa ja huippukuormissa. In this paper the effect of climate change on electricity network business is presented. The results are based on RCAO climate model scenarios. The climate predictions were composed to the period 2016 - 2045. The period 1960 - 1990 was used as a control period. The climate predictions were composed for precipitation, temperature, hoarfrost, thunder, ground frost and wind. The effects of the change of the climate variables on electricity network business were estimated from technical and economical points of view. The estimationwas based on the change predictions of the climate variables. It is expected that the climate change will cause more damages than benefits on electrical network business. The increase of the number of network fault will be the most important and demanding disadvantage caused by the climate change. If networks are not developed more resistant for faults, thunder, heavy snow and wind will cause more damages especially to overhead lines in medium voltage network. As a consequence of increasing temperature the demand of heating energy will decrease and the demand of cooling energy will increase. This is significant for the electricity consumption and the peak load of temperaturedependent electricity users.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2009 FinlandAuthors: Aaltonen, Jenni;Tämän diplomityön tarkoituksena on selvittää Suomen poliittisten päättäjien sekä heidän sidosryhmien mielipiteitä energiatehokkuuden lisäämisestä erityisesti yritysten näkökulmasta. Tämän lisäksi työssä selvitetään poliittisten päättäjien tärkeimpiä sidosryhmiä energiapoliittisia asioita käsiteltäessä. Tutkimuksen teoriaosassa keskitytään energiatehokkuuden kehittymiseen, energiatehokkuuden hyötyihin, keinoihin energiatehokkuuden edistämiseksi sekä uusimpiin energiatehokkuutta koskeviin strategioihin, lainsäädäntöihin ja sopimuksiin. Tutkimusaineisto kerätään laadullisella ja määrällisellä tutkimusmenetelmällä. Tarvittavan informaation saamiseksi suoritetaan eduskunnan talous-, tulevaisuus- ja ympäristövaliokunnalle kysely, joka toteutetaan Internetin välityksellä. Sidosryhmiltä tieto kerätään haastatteluilla. Tutkimustuloksien mukaan energiatehokkuuteen ei ole panostettu tarpeeksi Suomessa ja se on yksi keskeisimmistä keinoista torjua ilmastonmuutos. Yleisesti ottaen asenteet energiatehokkuuden lisäämiseksi ovat selvästi parantuneet viimevuosien aikana. Tärkeimmäksi sidosryhmäksi nousi selkeästi Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriö, mutta myös Energiateollisuus ry sekä kansalais- ja ympäristöjärjestöt koettiin tärkeiksi. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to find out Finnish political decision-makers and their interest groups opinions of energy efficiency especially from companies’ point of view. This work also determines political decision-makers most importants interest groups when discussing about energy politics. The theory part in this thesis focus on improving energy efficiency, benefits of energy efficiency, resorts to improve energy efficiency and the newest strategies, laws and contracts that aim to improve energy efficiency. Research data is gathered with qualitative and quantitative research methods. This thesis performs a questioning to parliaments economy-, future- and environment committee to gather the information. The questioning is conducted through Internet. Interest groups opinions are collected with an interview. Research result reveals that in Finland hasn’t been invested enough for energy efficiency and that energy efficiency is an important way to reject climate change. Political decision-makers attitudes for improving energy efficiency have gotten better during last years. The most important political decision-makers are Ministry of Employment and the Economy, but also Finnish Energy Industries and civil and environmental organizations.

Climate policy analysis necessitates a model of the whole EU area, because CO2 emissions of the EU area emission trading sector determine the demand and price of emission allowances. The main conclusion from model simulations is that output and employment losses induced by EU climate policy in 2008-2012 will be more se-vere in a small open energy intensive economy like Finland than in the rest of the EU area. The negative impacts of EU climate policy on export competitiveness, exports and output volume in Finland will be strongest in the energy intensive industrial sec-tors which belong to the EU emission trading sector.

Energiatehokkuutta ja kokonaistaloudellisuutta kunnallisessa rakentamisessa kannustavat mm. kansainvälisten ja kansallisten sopimusten energiansäästötavoitteet, sekä kuntien tiukka budjettitilanne. Hankkeen yhteydessä on laadittu arviointikriteeristö rakennusinvestoinneista vastaavien viranomaisten käyttöön, mikä helpottaa tunnistamaan energiatehokkaita, kokonaistaloudellisia sekä laadukasta sisäilmastoa tukevia rakennusinvestointien toteutuskäytäntöjä. Kriteeristö on suunniteltu erityisesti kasvatus- ja opetustarkoituksiin suunnattuja rakennuksia varten. Jotta kokonaistaloudellisuustavoitteet täyttyisivät, työssä käytettiin hyväksi elinkaariajattelutapaa. Kriteerit laadittiin rakennuksen kolmelle tavoitteiden toteutumisen kannalta merkittävälle elinkaaren vaiheelle, eli suunnittelu-, toteutus- ja käyttövaiheelle. Kriteeristö on laadittu kirjallisuuden ja ammattilaisten haastattelujen tarjoaman tiedon pohjalta. Laadittua kriteeristöä koekäytettiin Myllymäen päiväkoti -hankkeen yhteydessä, jotta voitaisiin tunnistaa kriteeristön kehitystarpeita. Koekäytön yhteydessä toteutettiin myös mielipidekysely, jonka avulla kerättiin kriteeristön kehitysehdotuksia rakennushankkeen eri osapuolilta. Koekäytön tarjoaman tiedon nojalla kriteeristöä jatkokehitettiin vastaamaan paremmin käytännön tarpeita. Koekäyttö kohdistui kohteen suunnitteluvaiheeseen. Hankkeessa saavutettiin asetetut tavoitteet. Voidaan kuitenkin todeta, että kriteeristön jatkokehittämistä on syytä jatkaa. Koekäytön ulottaminen toteutus ja käyttövaiheeseen on tärkeää. Kriteeristön käsittelyalueen laajentamiselle korjausrakentamiseen sekä alueellisen tarkastelutavan käyttöönotolle olisi myös tarvetta. The aim of this project is the creation of a tool to improve the energy efficiency, overall economy and indoor climate quality in the public building stock of Lappeenranta. The motivation to improve the energy and cost efficiency in public buildings related to inter alia the energy saving targets set by international and national agreements and the economic challenges of municipalities. In the frames of this project, a set of evaluation criteria was created to help the officials responsible for building investments to identify methods for the implementation of new construction projects that promote energy and cost efficiency as well as indoor climate quality. The primary targets of the criteria are educational buildings. Life-cycle approach was used in this work in terms to ensure overall economy targets. The criteria were created for three phases of buildings’ life-cycle that were identified to be important from the perspective of the set targets. These phases were the design phase, construction phase and operational phase. The creation of criteria was based on the information gained from literature, interviews of professionals and the trial phase of criteria. In terms to identify the functionality of criteria, they were exposed for trial at the building project of Myllymäki kindergarten in Lappeenranta. The trial focused on the design phase of the object. In addition, the survey was conducted in terms to receive feedback and development proposals on the criteria from different parties of the building project. By using the new experience gained from the trial phase, the criteria were further developed. The targets set for this projects were met. However, it should be mentioned that there is a need to continue the further development of the criteria in the future. In addition to the design phase, it is important to extend the trial to the construction and operational phases. The extension of the scope of criteria to renovation projects and the implementation of a regional approach would also be important development steps. Loppuraportti

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2018 FinlandAuthors: Kärkkäinen, Petteri;Uusiutuvan energian osuutta maailman energiantuotannossa halutaan kasvattaa, ja yksi sopiva energialähde on tuulienergia. Tuuliturbiinien rakentaminen on Suomessa ollut kasvussa, mikä tarkoittaa, että turbiineja rakennetaan entistä enemmän sisämaahan metsäiseen maastoon. Tämä tuo haasteita turbiinien rakentamiselle ja valinnalle sekä tuotannon optimoinnille. Metsäinen maasto, tai mikä tahansa virtauksien tielle osuva este, hidastaa tuulen nopeutta ja aiheuttaa tuuleen turbulenssia. Tässä työssä analysoidaan metsäisessä maastossa mitatusta tuulidatasta tuuligradientin ja tuulen turbulenssin jaksottaisuutta ja tilastollisuutta. Turbulenssin osalta käytetään turbulenssin intensiteettiä. Jaksottaisuutta tarkastellaan vuorokauden ja vuodenajan mukaan. Tutkimusaineistona toimii Lappeenrannassa TuuliMuukon tuulipuistossa LiDAR-tutkalla (Light Detection And Ranging) mitattu tuulidata. Datan analysointiin käytetään Matlab-ohjelmaa. Analysoinnissa havaittiin tuuligradientilla ja turbulenssin intensiteetillä olevan vuorokausijaksottaisuutta. Tuuligradientti vaihtelee vuorokauden aikana siten, että se on pienempää päivän aikana ja suurempaa yön aikana. Turbulenssin intensiteetti vaihtelee päinvastaisesti. Tilastollisesti suurin osa tuuligradientin eksponenttiarvon arvoista on välillä 0,2-0,6. Tuuligradientin potenssiarvo vaihtelee vuodenajan mukaan hieman, ja pienimpänä potenssiarvo on lämpiminä kuukausina kuten toukokuussa. Graafisen tarkastelun perusteella tuuligradientti poikkeaa selvästi standardin mukaisesta arvosta ainakin maaliskuussa. Turbulenssin intensiteetin arvot jakautuvat välille 0,02-0,2, joista suurin osa on välillä 0,10-0,16. Turbulenssin intensiteetin jakaumien perusteella tuuliolosuhteet näyttävät olevan standardien mukaisia, pois lukien tarkastelluista kuukausista syyskuun jakauman, joka poikkesi standardin mukaisesta. There is a need to increase the share of renewable energy in the world’s energy production and one suitable energy source is wind energy. The construction of wind turbines in Finland has been growing, which means that the turbines are built more and more inland where the terrain is forested. This brings challenges for the construction, selection and optimization of production of the wind turbines. Forested terrain, or any other obstacle, slows down the wind and causes turbulence to the wind. This bachelor’s thesis analyzes the wind conditions’, wind shear and turbulence, periodicity and statisticality from wind data that has been measured in forested area. Turbulence intensity is chosen to represent turbulence. Periodicity is viewed from the point of diurnal and seasonal variation. The research material used is wind data measured in Lappeenranta in TuuliMuukko wind farm with a LiDAR-radar (Light Detection and Ranging). Matlab-software is used to analyze the data. The wind shear and turbulence intensity were observed to have periodicity in diurnal time interval. The wind shear varies such as it is smaller during day and bigger during night. The turbulence intensity varies the other way around. Statistically the biggest share of the wind shear exponent’s values are between 0.2 and 0.6. The wind shear exponent varies a little by the season and the smallest it is during the warmest months like in May. Based on graphical review, the wind shear diverges clearly from the standard value at least during March. The values of turbulence intensity divide between 0.02 and 0.2, and the greater part are between 0.10 and 0.16. Based on the distribution of the turbulence intensity, the wind conditions look to be in accordance with standards, excluding September’s distribution which diverged from the standard values.

Suurin haaste on tuottaa energiaa mahdollisimman alhaisin kustannuksin käyttäen uusiutuvia ja ympäristöä säästäviä energiamuotoja. Tuulivoimasta on tullut nopeimmin kehittyvä sähköntuotantotapa, ja tuuliturbiinien koon kasvun myötä on myös generaattorien koko kasvanut merkittävästi 1990-luvulta lähtien. Generaattorin massiivisuus suoravetoisessa tuuliturbiinin voimansiirrossa vaatii tarkkoja kuormitustarkasteluja, jotta rakenne kestäisi tuuliturbiinin eliniän. Tuuliturbiinin kuormitukset ovat stokastisia ja toisinaan erittäin suuria, mikä vaikeuttaa kuormitusten määrittämistä. Tuulen kuormitusten lisäksi generaattori altistuu eri toimintojen kautta muillekin kuormituksille, ja tästä syystä on otettava huomioon jarrutuksen, dynaamisen tasapainon ja ohjauksen sekä verkkovikojen aiheuttamat rasitukset tuuliturbiinin voimansiirrolle. Edellisten lisäksi työssä on tarkasteltu erilaisia rakenneratkaisuja sekä pyritty kiinnittämään huomio niiden kuormankantokykyyn ja jäykkyyteen sekä generaattorin keventämismahdollisuuksiin verrattuna perinteisiin radiaalivuogeneraattoreihin. Työssä on pyritty selvittämään rakenteen kuormitukset siten, että pystyttäisiin optimoimaan mahdollisimman kevyt rakenne. Optimoinnin kohteena on pinnarakenteisen generaattorin rakenteen massa puolien, puolan kulmien sekä tukirenkaan ja niistä aiheutuvien erilaisten rakenneyhdistelmien suhteen tarkasteltuna. Worldwide climate policy and the global climate agreement strongly demand to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The greatest challenge is to produce low cost energy with renewable methods. Wind power is one of the fastest developing methods to produce electricity and with the growth of the wind turbine size the wind turbine generators have become heavier and the size of the generators has grown since the beginning of 1990's. The massive generators in wind turbine drivetrain require many kinds of structural analysis to enable the structure to last the lifetime of the wind turbine. Wind turbine loads are stochastic and sometimes very big due to wind, which makes the load determination very demanding. In addition to wind loads, additional loads due to various functions affect the generator as well. For this reason, it is advisable to take into account braking, dynamic balance, dynamic control and electrical network failure impact to the drivetrain loads of the generator. In this study different structural solutions have been examined and a great effort has been made to find out what is the feature of the structure that carries the load and also, the potential of the existing lightweight wind turbine generators compared to the structure of the conventional radial flux generator has been taken into consideration. Furthermore, the goal of this study has been to find out a way to determine wind turbine generator loads in a way that makes it possible to optimize the lightweight structure. The target of the optimization in the structure is the number of the spokes, the spoke angle and the support ring in a generator and the weight gain on the structure of different combinations caused by them.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2014 FinlandAuthors: Europaeus, Veera;Suomessa on sitouduttu kansainvälisiin päästövähennystavoitteisiin ja uusiutuvan ener-gian osuuden kasvattamiseen. Biohiili on erinomainen polttoainevaihtoehto kivihiili-voimalaitoksissa, sillä sitä voidaan käyttää suurellakin seososuudella ilman merkittäviä rakenteellisia muutoksia polttoaineen syöttölaitteistoihin tai kattilaan. Biohiiltä voidaan käyttää myös metallurgiassa pelkistimenä, maanparannusaineena ja hiilinieluna. Biohiilen raaka-aineena toimii energia- ja kuitupuuhake. Parikkalan lähialueella on hyödyn-nettävissä olevaa teknis-taloudellista metsäenergiapotentiaalia keskisuuren biojalostamon perustamista varten. Biohiilen teoreettinen markkinapotentiaali on valtava, mutta sen taloudelliset kannattavuusnäkymät ovat heikot nykyhintatasolla. Biohiilen kilpailukykyä heikentävät kivihiilen ja päästöoikeuksien alhaiset hinnat ja biohiilen korkeat tuotantokustannukset. Biohiilimarkkinoiden kehittymistä jarruttaa myös olemassa olevan tuotannon puute. Biohiilen käyttöönotto edellyttäisi kansainvälisiä tukitoimia tai kivihiilen hinnan kasvua. Finland is committed to the international emission reduction targets and to increase the share of renewable energy. Biochar is an excellent alternative fuel for coal-fired power plants because it can be used even with a large share of the mixture without major struc-tural changes in the fuel supply installations or boiler. Biochar can also be used as a reducing agent in metallurgy, in a soil improvement and as a carbon sink. A raw material of the biochar is energy- and pulpwood chips. In the surrounding area of Parikkala there exists utilizable technical and economic potential of forest energy to establish a medium size biorefinery. Theoretical market potential of biochar is huge but its financial profitability prospects are weak at current prices. Low prices of coal and carbon emissions and high production costs reduce the competitiveness of biochar. The devel-opment of biochar markets are also obstructed because of the lack of existing biochar production. Biochar would require international measure of support or coal price growth.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2010 FinlandAuthors: Aranto, Niina;Nykypäivänä energiansäästötavoitteet ovat haasteena yhä useammalle energiankuluttajalle. Tavoitteisiin päästäkseen yritykset ja kunnalliset energiankuluttajat kaipaavat usein apua kannattavien energiansäätökeinojen löytämiseksi. Erilaiset energiakatselmukset vastaavat tähän tarpeeseen ja ovat esimerkki tuloksellisesta energiansäästöstä. Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto on tutkinut energiatehokkuutta pitkään erilaisissa projekteissa teollisuuden kanssa yhteistyössä. Osa LUT:n energiatehokkuustutkimusta ovat energia-auditoinnit yrityksille ja kunnille, joita LUT Energian projektin puitteissa alettiin kehittää vuoden 2008 syksyllä. Energia-auditointien fokuksena on pyritty pitämään pumppausprosessien energiatehokkuuden optimointia, sillä aihetta on tutkittu yliopistolla laajasti. Pumppausprosesseissa on todettu olevan merkittävä energiansäästöpotentiaali: pumppauksen kuluttamasta energiasta voi olla mahdollista säästää jopa 50 % erilaisilla laite- ja säästötaparatkaisuilla. Pumppausprosessien energia-auditointeja on tehty teollisuuden pumppauskohteisiin kuin myös kunnallisiin vesi-huoltolaitoksiin. Lisäksi energia-auditointien puitteissa on tutkittu energiansäästömahdollisuuksia rakennuksissa. Energiansäästökohteita etsitään sekä lämpö- että sähköenergian osalta. Energia-auditoinneissa pumppausten osalta energiansäästöpotentiaalia on todettu olevan etenkin suuren kokoluokan pumpuissa, joilla on pitkä vuosittainen käyttöaika. Myös pumppujen säätötavalla on suuri merkitys energiankulutukseen. Rakennusten osalta on pyritty selvittämään, kuinka energiankulutus jakautuu eri kulutusryhmien kesken. Säästökohteita on löydetty muun muassa rakennusten tiiviydestä, ilmanvaihdosta kuin valaistuksestakin. Monia auditointien asiakkaita on kiinnostanut etenkin led-teknologian hyödyntäminen yleisvalaistuksessa sekä muut keinot säästää valaistuksen energiankulutuksessa. Pyrkimyksenä on kehittää energia-auditointeja projektin aikana saavutettujen kokemusten avulla sekä myös liiketaloudellisessa mielessä opinnäytetutkielmien avulla. Menestyksekäs palveluliiketoiminta edellyttää määriteltyjä toimintatapoja, riittävän tarkkaa palvelujen rajausta ja koko energia-auditointiprosessin kehittämistä aina asiakassuhteen luomisesta sen jatko-hoitoon saakka. Nowadays energy saving goals are challenging energy consumers in the industrial- and municipal sector as well. To reach these goals many energy consumers need help to figure out economic ways to save energy. Energy audits by an outside consultant are useful help when determining the energy saving potential of the company. Energy audits are good examples of successful energy saving. Lappeenranta University of Technology has done energy efficiency related research for a long period in interactive cooperation with Finnish companies. Parts of the LUT’s energy efficiency research are energy audits for different kind of energy consumers. LUT’s energy audit project was started in the fall of 2008. Focus of the LUT’s energy audits has been energy efficiency of pumping processes, because the subject is widely studied at the department of LUT Energy. It has been indicated that the energy consumption of a pumping system might be decreased up to 50 percent by changing the drive components with more efficient ones and by changing the applied control method of the pump. LUT’s energy audits have been implemented for pumping processes in industry and also for municipal water supply and sewerage systems. In addition to pumping systems LUT’s energy audits have studied energy consumption of structures. An energy audit for building takes into account the HVAC systems of the structure and figures out ways to save energy for example in heating, ventilation and lighting. In energy audits energy saving potential has been discovered especially at the large sized pumps which are running most of the time. Also the applied control method of the pump has shown to play a significant role in energy efficiency of the pumping system. When it comes to the energy audits of buildings, the main points of consumption have been revealed. LUT’s energy audits have discovered energy saving potential for example in ventilation, lighting and insulation of the structure. Led-technology and its possibilities in general lighting has been one of the fields that many clients of the audits have been especially interested in. There is an aim to develop LUT’s energy audits by means of the experience gained during the auditing project. Energy auditing process is under improvements also from the business economical point of view by thesis study. Service oriented business requires defined methods, focusing and development of the whole service chain from creating the customer connections to after care of the customership.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research product2015 FinlandAuthors: Martikainen, Antti;Vesivoimalla on merkittävä rooli pohjoismaisessa sähköntuotantojärjestelmässä. Spot-markkinoille tarjottavan vesivoiman hinta riippuu vaihtoehtoisen tuotannon hinnasta ja odotetusta vesivoimantuottajien käytettävissä olevasta veteen sitoutuneen potentiaalienergian määrästä. Hydrologisella tilanteella tarkoitetaan tässä tämän potentiaalienergian poikkeamaa normaalitasostaan. Viime vuosina tuulivoimatuotanto pohjoismaisella sähkömarkkina-alueella on kasvanut voimakkaasti, ja on tullut aiheelliseksi tarkastella, millaisia vaikutuksia tällä on vesivoimantuottajien toimintaan. Työssä määritellään vesivoimalle vaihtoehtoisen sähköntuotannon tuotantokustannus, joka pitkällä aikavälillä toimii vertailutasona, jonka perusteella vesivoimantuottajat määrittävät markkinoilla tarjontahinnan tuotannolleen. Tarkastellaan, kuinka hydrologisen tilanteen ja vaihtoehtoisen tuotannon tuotantokustannusten muutokset vaikuttavat vesiarvoon, joka on hinta, jolla hintariippuvaista eli säätyvää vesivoimaa tarjotaan spot-markkinoille. Todetaan, että hydrologisen tilanteen vahvistuminen ja vaihtoehtoisen tuotantokustannuksen aleneminen alentavat vesiarvoja. Todetaan lisäksi, että tuulivoima vaikuttaa sähkön hinnanmuodostukseen markkinoilla samankaltaisesti kuin hintariippumaton vesivoimatuotanto. Esitetään aikasarjamalli vesivoimatuotannon hintariippuvuuden mallintamiseksi. Vertaillaan vesivoimatuottajien toimintaa kahdella vesivoimatuotantoa sisältävällä hinta-alueella, joista toisella tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut voimakkaammin kuin toisella. Havaitaan, että molemmilla hinta-alueilla hydrologisen tilanteen vahvistuminen on alentanut ja heikkeneminen nostanut vesiarvoja. Lisäksi havaitaan, että alueella, jonka tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut enemmän, vesiarvot ovat laskeneet suhteessa alueen, jolla tuulivoimatuotanto on kasvanut vähemmän, vesiarvoihin. Tuulivoiman voidaan todeta syrjäyttäneen markkinoilta tuotantokustannuksiltaan kalliimpaa tuotantoa. Hydropower plays a significant role in the Nordic electric power generation system. The offering price of price-dependent hydropower generation capacity offered to spot markets is dependent on the cost of alternative generation and the expected amount of potential energy contained in water that will be available for hydropower generators to use in the future. In this study hydrological conditions are understood to mean the deviation of this potential energy from its normal value. During recent years wind power generation has rapidly increased in the Nordic market and thus its effect on hydropower generation is analyzed in this thesis. The production cost of power generation alternative to hydropower is defined. Hydropower generators use this cost as a reference as they set their offering price of price-dependent generation capacity on the spot market. The effects of variations in hydrological conditions and the cost of alternative production on water value are studied. Water value is defined as the price at which price dependent hydropower generation capacity is offered to the spot market. It is found that the strengthening of hydrological conditions and the falling of the cost of alternative generation lower water values. Another finding is that wind power generation and non-price dependent hydropower generation have similar effects on the price formation of electric power. A time-series model is presented for modelling the relationship between the capacity and water value of hydropower generation offered to spot markets. The model is used to study this relationship in two hydropower-producing price areas, of which one has seen a large increase in the amount of wind power generation in recent years. The modelling results show that the strengthening of hydrological conditions has led to lower water values in both price areas. The increase in wind power production has likely caused hydropower generators in the price area with a large increase in wind power generation to lower their water values relative to those in the price area with a small increase in wind power generation. From this the conclusion is drawn that wind power has superseded generation with a higher marginal cost in the market.
