Abstract (eng)
Since currently there are practically no or very few renewable energy sources in Croatia, great interest in constructing wind power plants has been seen in last few years. Croatia has very significant natural potentials for the development of wind power plant projects.
This study compares two different projects of renewable energy: The wind power plant project and the 3E (energy, economy, ecology) project of a small hydropower plant in Croatia. The wind power plant project is a complex issue that requires many years. During this project, all the interested parties, such as project developer, investor, etc. are exposed to numerous risks, including some with potential devastating consequences.
Therefore, it is very important to conduct a risk analysis in order for the investor and project developer to be able to avoid future problems. Model for qualitative and quantitative risk assessment will help us to anticipate these problems.
The key element of this study is the risk analysis and economic evaluation of above mentioned projects. This involves identification, measurement, valuation and then comparison of the inputs and outcomes of these two alternatives.
