Regional coherence project - Potential wind power plant development zone

Abstract

This document presents a methodology to highlight the location on which the wind turbines could be implemented. This study was performed in the framework of the wind power plant development on the land of the communes groups of Couhé, Civraisien and Pays Charlois located in the west of France in the Vienne department [86]. The work has been done in the Encis Wind company for WKN France which is a Wind Power developer company. The major interest of this study is to provide a detailed and neutral analysis about the potential wind power plant zone to WKN France which desires to develop wind power plant projects on the studied territory The methodology consists in an inventory of the technical, environmental and patrimonial constraints that will determine the locations that can potentially receive wind turbines. The used methodology is updated and enhanced by the work in this thesis. The following work is a pre-study that should be used to define and evaluate the wind power plant possibilities. Indeed, the regional coherence project about the potential wind power plant development zones is a tool for the decision maker WKN France.
