Alternative energy development in Japan

Japan is a densely populated country, and what makes the Japanese market more difficult compared to other markets. If we use can be installed near the shore or offshore installations in the future, further use of wind energy. If we go offshore, it's more expensive because the construction of the Foundation is expensive. But often the wind stronger offshore, and that can offset the higher costs. We are getting more and more competitive with our equipment. Price — if you measure it per kilowatt-hour production — is lower that turbines are becoming more efficient. Therefore, we are creating an increasing interest in wind energy. If you compare it with other renewable energies, wind is by far the most competitive today. If we are able to use the sites close to the sea or sea of machines, nice wind, the price per kilowatt hour competition with other sources of energy, go say Svend Sigaard, President and CEO of the world's largest producer of wind turbines, Vestas Wind systems from Denmark. Vestas is actively involved in capital investment in wind energy helps to broaden its turbines in Japan. She tries to get offshore installations put into place in the country, which he said is ready for the fruits of investment in alternative energy research and development.

The Japanese know that they cannot become subservient to the dictates of the supply of foreign States, World War II taught them both in the US decimated their supply of oil and disabled their war machine.They need to produce energy from their own and they are isolated island nation with the natural resources that contribute to energy production, as defined in the present, very open to foreign investment and foreign development as well as the prospects for technological innovations that can make them independent. Allows corporations such as Vestas to get the nation, works at a Wind power generation is a step in the right direction for Japanese.

Production of energy through what is known as microhydoelectric power plants has also been catching on in Japan Japan has plenty of rivers and mountain streams, and these are ideal for putting up microhydroelectric power plants, which are determined by the industrial development of technology and new energy power plants run by water, which have a maximum output of 100 kilowatts or less.To compare "minihydroelectric" can put out up to 1000 kW of power.

In Japan, small scale and micro-hydro power gadgets were considerable time suitable to create electricity, but they have through improvement have great for Japanese cities, a. Kawasaki municipal water supply, natural and Tokyo Japan combined company participated in the development of small hydroelectric power stations in Japanese cities.
