Wind Turbines Manufacturer in China

The National Energy Administration of China has set a series of development goals for the country’s renewable energy sector during the 12th Five-year Development Plan, which shows that by 2015 the country’s wind power capacity will reach 100 GW, based on the current capacity of 40 GW.

According to another recently-issued roadmap drawn up for the country’s wind power generators industry, China’s wind power capacity will reach 200 GW, 400 GW and 1,000 GW by 2020, 2030 and 2050, respectively, making wind one of the five major sources of electricity across the country. Based on this target, by 2050 China’s investment in the wind power sector is expected to reach RMB 12 trillion (approx. US$1.9 trillion), opening the door to many opportunities for its wind power equipment wind turbines manufacturers.

“By 2050, wind power projects are expected to address 17 percent of the power demand in China,” said Wang Zhongying, director, research fellow at the Center for Renewable Energy Development of the Energy Research Institute, a part of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The roadmap also predicts that around 2020, the costs of onshore wind power will be equal to those of coal power.

Seeing huge rotor blades slash the sky in Germany has become commonplace over the last 20 years, as wind turbines have multiplied across the countryside.

But as the country races to meet European Union renewable energy targets, companies are not only under pressure to meet the time constraints of the EU’s Energy Roadmap 2050 – which highlights wind energy as a prominent future power source – they are also running out of room to expand on German soil.

Meanwhile, the US is pursuing its own renewable energy goals – a US Department of Energy report published in 2008 suggests covering 20 percent of American power needs with wind turbines by 2030. And German experience in the wind energy sector will be an important component for the United States, according to Michael Blank, vice-president of the German-American chamber of commerce.

“I think what’s good for Europe is also good for the US,” Blank said.

The United States is also good for German industry in terms of potential wind power far outstripping that of Europe.

Reuters quoted government data showed that China power generation increased at the slowest pace in 10 months in November, as demand momentum waned along with slowing wind generator industrial output in the world’s second-largest economy.

Slowing demand, along with recent windmill power price hikes and coal price caps, suggest a developing power shortage in the winter season could be less severe than anticipated.

The National Bureau of Statistics said electricity output increased 8.5%YoY to 371.3 billion kilowatt-hours last month or 12.38 billion kilowatt hours per day. Daily generation picked up from October when demand was at a seasonal trough between the summer and winter peaks.

For the first 11 months, power output gained 12%YoY to 4.19 trillion kilowatt-hours, higher than the total for 2010. By sources, output from coal-fired wind  power generators stations increased 9% on year the first single-digit growth since February while generation from hydropower plants staged its first increase in five months, gaining 6.3%YOy.

Last month’s output from nuclear power stations declined 6.7%.

China generates nearly 40 million kilowatts of electricty through wind power generators and plans to double the capacity in three years, a government agency said.

The State Electricity Regulatory Commission said wind-power generation in the first 10 months of this year rose 57 percent over the same period of last year and accounted for 1.5 percent of the nation’s total electricity output, Xinhua reported.

By the end of August, 486 wind-power stations were in operation across the country, generating 39.24 million kilowatts of electricity, the report said.

The commission estimated China has exploitable wind generators resources equaling 2.38 billion kilowatts on land and about 200 million kilowatts offshore.

Wind power into a mature small wind turbines manufacturing industry brings a big plus, wind power is the “bottleneck” problem will be solved.

Currently, wind turbine manufacturers and operators are stepping up to the wind turbine for low-voltage ride-through of the upgrade, Sinovel Chairman and CEO Han Junliang recently in the “2011 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition Entrepreneurs Forum”, said Rui Hua Wind power will be completed before the first quarter of 2012, nearly 7,000 WTG on the overall upgrading work.

The construction of national policies on the grid circuit, active consumer of wind power has also made a request. National Energy Board new and renewable energy Shi Lishan, deputy director of the wind show that the Chinese government’s current policy for the wind power industry, mainly in the support price of wind power construction, in the formulation of development objectives, policies and related tax compulsory consumption quota policies should be improved.

In addition, “China Business (blog, microblogging),” Reporters from the wind power industry was informed by the researchers, a large-scale wind power grid there is no technical limitations in the acceptance of wind power has great potential.

As of the end of 2010, West Inner Mongolia grid access wind capacity amounted to 6.3 million kW, accounting for a total installed power capacity of 16.4%, accounting for the largest power generation capacity of 32%, accounting for 38% of the maximum power load. March 17, 2011, wind power capacity reached 20.9%, and to ensure the security and stability of the grid.

These facts have proved that a large-scale wind power is feasible.

Specific solutions are implemented. “Twelve Five” period, the wind power industry from “building a large base, into the bulk power system” to “both centralized and distributed,” change, but also to develop offshore wind power. The distributed wind power and offshore wind power development means that future wind power development and the development of the national grid will be more matches, because these areas will be more close to the coastal areas of large power gap, wind power will greatly reduce the pressure small.

From the Grid perspective, the national power grid is building a strong intelligence network at the same time, Jiuquan 750 kV grid and national grid, “four vertical and four horizontal” long-distance wind generators transmission channel has a large open building, which will fundamentally solve the wind power is difficult, the difficult problem of transportation.

China’s wind power installed capacity from the end of last year’s 44.73 million kilowatts, respectively, to 200 million, 400 million and 10 million kilowatts. From 2011 to 2050, wind power generators development brings total investment will reach 12 trillion yuan.
This report by the National Energy Research Institute and the International Energy Agency, United Nations agencies last year and a half on a report prepared for the first time China’s wind power development based on the actual situation and future prospects of the development trend of setting goals, and analyze the goals of resources, technology, industry, policy and other aspects of the existing conditions and wind turbines future direction. Energy Research Institute National Development and Reform Commission Han Wenke, director, said, “China’s wind power development roadmap for 2050″ is a forecast and conceived, is not equivalent to government introduced the industry development plan, but for countries to develop long-term development planning some reference and help.
It is understood that China’s renewable energy “second five” development planning and long-term development plan for the work has entered the final stage. There were indications that the plan set an initial target of China’s wind power development are: 2015, domestic wind power installed capacity will reach 100 million kilowatts by 2020 will reach 200 million kilowatts.
2011 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition on the release of “Chinese wind power development roadmap for 2050,” predicts that by 2050, China’s small wind turbines installed capacity will reach 10 million kilowatts, after the thermal power installed capacity, about 26 in the power structure %, for the country to provide 17% of the electricity. The next 40 years, the domestic wind power development will bring the total investment reached 12.096 trillion yuan, bringing jobs to reach 7.2 million.

Norwegian companies take to Beijing for the most influential event on wind power generators in China this October.
With more than 600 exhibitors and an expected 40 000 domestic and international visitors to the exhibition, the stage is set for what has become Asia’s largest wind power event. Covering a total exhibiting space of 120 000 square meters, the three day exhibition and concurrent conference attract the major players of the Chinese wind industry. China Wind Power 2011 is jointly organized by China Renewable Energy Industry Association, China Wind Energy Association and the Global Wind Energy Council.
At the Norwegian Pavilion visitors will have the chance to meet with the four Norwegian companies Windsea, ChapDrive, Norsetek and Vestavind Offshore. With their competence ranging from unique wind turbine solutions to floating structures for offshore wind turbines, all the companies have had a persistent commitment to the Chinese wind power industry. Representatives from the Consulate General Guangzhou and Innovation Norway, who have worked closely with several Norwegian companies and their entry into the Chinese wind power industry, will also be present. In addition several other Norwegian companies are participating with separate company pavilions.
China Wind Power 2011 takes place 19-21 October at the New China International Exhibition Center in Beijing.

Recently, the Spanish company Gamesa wind energy development with China Huadian Group signed a new agreement, plans to Inner Mongolia, China in 2011-2012 in the total installed power of 200 MW of wind turbines. So far, Gamesa has become China’s major wind turbines manufacturers, and with the cooperation of China’s major power companies to build wind parks, the company has 60 in various regions of inland China about 3,000 turbines installed in Tianjin and Jilin 6 family tradition established plants in China, the total installed capacity of 2900 MW. June 2011, China’s foreign fans Zhangaigongsi 20% of total sales.

The end of September, the first wind farm in Guangxi will be officially put into operation. The wind farm construction in gold purple mountains of Guilin county resources, with a total installed capacity of 33 sets of 1500 kilowatts. Guangxi Power Grid Corporation has sent technicians to the electric field of technical support.

Recently, Guilin Power Supply Bureau of gold resources and technical personnel to Purple Mountain Wind Farm, part of its step-up station 110 kV network equipment examination, and electrical projects inside the test equipment and measuring devices to give technical support and debugging.
110 kV Transmission Line Project’s construction schedule, the construction period, construction difficult circumstances, Guilin Power Supply Bureau and the Participation elaborate arrangements for the construction and construction inspection unit. Next, the council will also take active measures, in the scientific plan to accelerate the construction of power grids at the same time, efforts to improve system stability, wind power development for the escort.

Gold Purple Wind Power Project by the South Branch of China Power Investment Group invested a total investment of 1.5 billion. County wind farm located in the resource field melon in Hmong village and town car the border, started construction in 2009. Project in three phases, the average single wind turbines generating capacity is about 2.9 million kilowatts, with a total installed base of 100 units with a total installed capacity of 150,000 kilowatts, the equivalent of the resources the county’s electricity consumption. The first phase of the total installed capacity of 49.5 MW will be installed 33 sets of 1500 kW small  wind turbines, put into operation network will greatly ease the power shortage situation in Guilin area.

Mr Adair says there is much interest from private investors.

“It won’t be like the joint venture we had with China Light and Power, this is much more a joint venture where we’re clearly seeking a financial partner who will provide the capital, we will undertake all of the key activities of operating and managing the asset.

Hydro Tasmania will continue to manage and operate the wind farms and the new financial partner is also expected to part-own the Musselroe project.

The Greens want the state’s expert panel on renewable energy to examine Hydro Tasmania’s plan.

The Greens’ spokesman Kim Booth says it is a pre-emptive decision and should be referred to the energy expert panel.

“So that we have a long term inter-generational look at the sorts of electricity generation assets that we have and how the ownership’s held, whether we’re in the national electricity market and what sort of alternative sustainable renewable generation measures that we take in the state,” he said.

The Liberals are concerned Hydro Tasmania is making decisions in the absence of a clear energy policy from the State Government.

The Opposition’s energy spokesman Matthew Groom says it highlights the lack of a clear plan for funding such developments.

“We are concerned that we’ve got a Government business that’s being forced to make a decision in relation to a key asset in the absence of any clear Government direction on energy,” he said.

“It just goes to highlight the vacuum that wind turbines exists in Tasmania under the Labor-Green Government in relation to energy issues.”

The Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown is concerned about the proposed sell off.
