The aim of this dissertation is to study the costs linked to wind energy and the incentive instruments used. This is possible through the analysis of different researches and publications. In particular, the costs of wind energy are not homogeneous around the world because highly linked to location and technology. For this reason, in many countries it is still necessary the use of support schemes to sustain the development of this technology. The most common instrument used are three: feed-in tariff, tendering, and renewable portfolio standard also known in Europe as Green Certificates. The development of wind power in Denmark through its energy policy, highlighted several important points to take into consideration when setting an energy policy able to sustain the development of wind power. Namely, the instruments used must be able to adapt to market changes and the different necessities of investors; second, research and development is fundamental to find new and more efficient solutions that are economically viable; finally, a good network that can support the generation from new technologies must be implemented and supported.
L’obiettivo di questa tesi è quello di studiare i costi dell’energia eolica e gli strumenti di incentivo ad essi legati tramite l’analisi di diverse fonti. In particolare è possibile notare che i costi dell’energia eolica dipendono fortemente da localizzazione e tecnologia. Per questo motivo, i costi sono molto diversi tra loro nei diversi stati e in molti di questi sono ancora necessari strumenti di incentivo per sostenere lo sviluppo di questa tecnologia. Dall’analisi degli strumenti di incentivo è stato possibile constatare che i più utilizzati sono tre: feed-in tariff, molto usata in Europa, tendering e renewable portfolio standard, nota anche come Green certificates in Europa. L’approfondimento dello sviluppo dell’energia eolica in Danimarca tramite diverse politiche energetiche ha evidenziato alcuni punti fondamentali da tenere in considerazione: prima di tutto, sono necessari degli strumenti flessibili e in grado di adattarsi ai mutamenti del mercato e delle esigenze degli investitori; inoltre l’importanza della ricerca e sviluppo e di una rete elettrica in grado di supportare le nuove tecnologie sono fondamentali per la buona riuscita di una politica energetica.

Abstract
The aim of this dissertation is to study the costs linked to wind energy and the incentive instruments used. This is possible through the analysis of different researches and publications. In particular, the costs of wind energy are not homogeneous around the world because highly linked to location and technology. For this reason, in many countries it is still necessary the use of support schemes to sustain the development of this technology. The most common instrument used are three: feed-in tariff, tendering, and renewable portfolio standard also known in Europe as Green Certificates. The development of wind power in Denmark through its energy policy, highlighted several important points to take into consideration when setting an energy policy able to sustain the development of wind power. Namely, the instruments used must be able to adapt to market changes and the different necessities of investors; second, research and development is fundamental to find new and more efficient solutions that are economically viable; finally, a good network that can support the generation from new technologies must be implemented and supported.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
