Wind Turbines Manufacturer in China

Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has signed its first order in 2011 with China Longyuan Power Group, the country’s largest renewable business in terms of generation, for 24 2 MW wind turbines.

The turbines, which are the V80 model and will generate a total of 48 MW of power, will be installed in Zhongmen, Putian County in the coastal province of Fujian in south eastern China.

Longyuan and Vestas have been working together since 2005 installing 360 small  wind turbines and generating more than 500 MW of wind projects so far.

Longyuan chief executive, Xie Changjun, said: “In 2011, we are stepping up our efforts to deliver more sophisticated service solutions in China.

“This means we will make full use of our unique skills to provide our customers with tailored, timely and comprehensive solutions – while at the same time keeping safety and quality our top priority.”

Vestas installed China’s first wind turbines in Shandong in 1986, and as of 31 December 2010, Vestas has installed almost 3,000 MW of clean

Goldwind, a leading Chinese wind turbine maker, plans to invest more in offshore wind turbine production by reallocating funds originally planned for onshore turbine production.

Goldwind plans to shift 145 million yuan (22 million U.S. dollars) previously planned for a MW-level turbine production base in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu Province, according to the company.

The money is now planned to go to a production base in Dafeng, a coastal city in Jiangsu Province, said Wu Gang, Goldwind CEO.

Wu said the change of plan accorded with the overall strategy of the company. The new plan has been approved by the board of directors, but needs shareholder approval.

Shi Pengfei, an independent director of Goldwind, said “This shift in investment priority meets with current Chinese market demands and Goldwind’s strategic development goals. It is an important move to consolidate Goldwind’s position as a major offshore wind turbine producer.”

Dafeng turbine base went into operation in 2010 and involves a total investment of 300 million yuan (45.5 million U.S. dollars). When completed, it will have a R&D lab for 3.6MW and 6MW offshore wind turbine production, and an annual turbine production capacity of 450MW.

Development of offshore wind power is expanding rapidly in the country. China is constructing four offshore wind farms in Jiangsu, totaling 1GW. The four projects, announced in 2010, will be finished in four years.

Jiangsu plans to have 4.6GW of offshore small wind turbine installed capacity in 2015 and 9.45GW in 2020.

China’s first offshore wind farm, Shanghai East Sea Bridge Offshore Wind Farm, comprising of thirty-four 3MW Sinovel made turbines, was connected to the grid in June 2010.

Other offshore wind turbines in operation are: one 1.5MW Goldwind turbine in Liaoning’s Bohai Bay Suizhong Offshore Oilfield; and two Mingyang 1.5MW turbines, two Guodian United Power 1.5MW turbines, two Shanghai Electric 2MW turbines, two Envision Energy 1.5MW turbines, and one Sany Electric 2MW turbine in Jiangsu’s Rudong Inter-tidal Area.

Coastal wind farms along the country’s eastern coast,compared with those in the inland northern and western regions, enjoy better wind energy resources, better grid infrastructure, and more consumers within close proximity.

China has surplus production capacity of onshore wind turbines, compelling wind turbine makers to shift attention to offshore wind turbine production.

According to China Wind Energy Association (CWEA), 18.93GW of wind turbine capacity was installed in the country in 2010, up 37.1 percent from 2009. The country’s total wind turbine generator installed capacity was 44.73GW at the end of 2010, up 73.3 percent from the previous year.

By the end of last year, China had replaced the United States as the largest wind power developer in the world.

Shi, also vice-president of CWEA, said installation of more than 30GW of wind turbine capacity is planned in the country from 2011 to 2012.

China has 200GW of offshore wind energy resources, according to the China Meteorological Administration.

However, Shi cautioned, “China must compare the actual costs of offshore wind power development with the costs of transmitting wind power from the west to the east of China. If the cost is less to transfer wind power from Gansu or Xinjiang to the eastern coastal areas, China should prioritize development of western onshore wind energy resources not offshore capacity in the east.”

According to Goldwind’s recently released annual report, the company sold 2,567 permanent-magnetic direct-drive 1.5MW turbines in 2010. It is also able to produce 2.5MW permanent-magnetic direct-drive turbines.

So far, Goldwind has five 2.5MW prototypes in trial operation, while it started to develop 6MW turbines in 2010.

Goldwind also supplies turbines to clients overseas. TianRun Shady Oaks, LLC, Goldwind’s wholly-funded subsidiary in the United States, won a bid to supply turbines to Shady Oaks Wind Farm in Illinois for 20 years from 2012. Goldwind will also supply 34 units of 1.5MW turbines to Adama Wind Farm in Ethiopia, 21 units of 1.5MW turbines to Alexigros Wind Farm in Cyprus, and 70 units of MW-level turbines to Gullen Range project in Australia.

By the end of 2010, Goldwind had 2,764.5MW of wind turbine orders in hand. They comprised 2,7165MW of 1.5MW turbines, 45MW of 2.5MW turbines, and 3MW of 3.0MW turbines.

Goldwind also had 3,815.5MW of wind turbine manufacturers orders, though those contracts had not been signed by the end of last year. They comprised 2,112MW of 1.5MW turbines, 1,697.5MW of 2.5MW turbines, and 6MW of 3MW turbines.

wind turbine manufacturer Keppel Prince is at the centre of a political tug-of-war after being bypassed in favour of a Chinese firm.
The row started when the major employer revealed that those behind a 13-tower wind farm near Hamilton were planning to import turbines from China.

Regional cities minister Denis Napthine said the purchase of Chinese-made wind  turbines would cost south-west jobs and contradicted claims made by Prime Minister Julia Gillard that a carbon tax would create hundreds of new positions in the renewable energy sector.

“The irony is that these Chinese wind towers will be imported through the port of Portland, right under the noses of the Keppel Prince workers,” the Liberal MP said.

“(These towers will also go) directly past the Vestas wind-blade manufacturing plant that was closed in December 2007, costing 136 local jobs under the watch of both a former Labor government in Victoria and the federal Labor government.’

“I call on the federal government to match its rhetoric on local job creation through a renewable energy target scheme with real action to ensure that wind towers for the Hamilton Mortons Lane wind farm and other Australian wind farms are built by Australians, in Australia, creating Australian jobs,” Mr Napthine said.

The South West Coast MP said the federal government should also guarantee that wind towers imported in the country fully meet Australian standards for strength, design and safety.

A spokeswoman for Climate Change Minister Greg Combet refused to directly comment on the purchase of Chinese-made turbines for the Hamilton wind farm.

She said ongoing uncertainty over a carbon pricing scheme was to blame for decreased confidence in the renewable energy sector.

“The federal government is committed to providing appropriate assistance to these industries to help support jobs and competitiveness during the transition to a clean energy future.”

Wannon MP Dan Tehan said the federal government’s claims of job generation through growth had been damaged by the revelation that Chinese imported small wind  turbines were being erected in the south-west.

Thomastown MP Bronwyn Halfpenny claimed this week that the state government’s policy of allowing landholders the right of veto power over wind farm developments would damage the viability of manufacturers such as Portland-based Keppel Prince.

She called on Planning Minister Matthew Guy to visit the factory and meet with the firm’s general manager Steve Garner.

Today’s America faces many problems, including two comparison stubborn problem is high unemployment and the electric power industry and the high carbon row. Obama became President of the United States, alternative energy is generally regarded as the two problems solution, at that time, on land wind, solar, and nuclear and other emerging industry becomes to be bestowed favor on newly. Meanwhile, an obscure industry over the past 20 years seemingly is going to vitality, this is offshore wind power.

Offshore wind power and not new industries, but be called on the U.S. energy in the family of fresh face, industry and government agreed that it has unlimited potential, but so far the United States has not appeared yet a real sense of offshore wind farm, the reason?

Some say this is the result of technical restrictions. If you look at Europe, will find it is only a dispel excuse. Taking Europe wind energy association (EWEA) data shall prevail, the 2010 European maritime wind power of new installed capacity has reached 88.3 million kilowatts, these erect on the sea wind fans and inland places with equipment do not have too big difference, for onshore wind power technology has quite mature American terms, it doesn’t matter.

America’s wind power resources is there a problem? The answer is negative. According to the national renewable energy laboratory (NREL) forecast, America’s offshore wind power potential with 40 million kw feet. Of course, this is just a theoretical Numbers, if will all limiting factors into account, including economy, wind conditions, the United States can large-scale business sea wind power roughly a 1.27 billion kilowatts. But need to point out that the United States currently has total installed capacity of wind power for 40 million kilowatts, if this 1.27 billion kw to development, wind power in total power supply the proportion of never are the current 2%.

If technology and resources are not problems, then decided to factors will appear in policy. Like other clean energy like wind, the sea of red tape in the troubled suffered substantial investment, and bring uncertainty, investors tend to will make of this green energy “virgin soil” undecided.

Offshore Wind farm (Cape cod Cape Wind) project is a very perfect case, the so-called “American history offshore Wind power projects” 493,000 dollars that identified 10 years ago, but until the construction plan today is not built, still submerged in various hearings and the examination formalities.

America’s offshore wind power generators project approval work in principle is by the sea energy management, supervision and BOEMRE) responsible for Nevada (, but in practice, it’s much more complicated, the federal energy regulatory commission (FERC), and other federal agencies are a long string to license. Typically, an offshore wind power projects apply to get from all formalities need about seven years – an incredible time span. Long wait will increase many uncertain factors, especially the policy change.

Hope that the system in the short term completely change is unrealistic, but the government has certainly aware of the problem and tried to react. Interior ministry in the Atlantic last year outside the continental shelf wind sail develop launched “intelligence” initiative, the initiative to earlier solar promotion measures similar to simplify the sea wind power projects, the examination and approval procedures. Early February, and the doe joint interior ministry issued the national maritime wind strategy “, definitely the U.S. offshore wind power and feasibility of developing market potential, and New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia four states listed as the ideal develop offshore wind power.

In addition the important thing is to let wind turbines investors believe “pay will pay off”, sea wind power will usher turnaround. The United States already beginning to parts of this direction diligently. In February, New Jersey specifically for offshore wind power established a called “buy sea renewable energy power” mandatory project in the state provisions, all utilities must purchase in accordance with certain proportion, already approved sea wind project completed producers of the electric power. Maryland have passed similar legislation, request area future four power company with qualified offshore wind farm must be signed 20-year power purchase agreement.

Of course, these policies implementation to observe how now, still in the offshore wind power assertion and vitality too early, but some facts can actually let we have reason to expect offshore wind power. Although the us is no sea wind farm, but has large company to put forward the construction application, scale, even more than ten million kilowatts most Google such company also actively building wind power grid application.

For a new industry, offshore wind power will inevitably experience a relatively long period of development, to prove that combines feasibility, and now we see positive factors to more than handicaps. Offshore wind power in the United States, but never become until relatively far can still should see policy end of the support strength.

Japan for limiting power trigger spontaneous electrical energy demand, the local industry manufacturers to provide a wind turbine explore Taiwan simple disassembling units, hope to help the family simple charging, heaters, office lighting electricity, etc.
Atlanta wind power today for Taiwan development tendency and possible solutions. C.C.M. ma said he before the meeting suddenly receive Japan Tokyo, Osaka industry calls, hope he help contact Taiwan as a wind turbine manufacturers, hope to provide simple disassembling of small and medium-sized wind units.
C.C.M. ma said, he developed successfully except the “recommended Atlanta vertical small wind-driven generator”, and also the national 29 home while small wind machine manufacturer together chance to participate, and inform the message, build contact platform that offers hundreds of watts to 5,000 watts of unit, solve Japan minsheng urgent needs.
In addition, hsinchu city and metal industry research and development center and Atlanta today also signed in the church was established strategic alliances, and hope according to tainan the chiku saltworks experience, future, building regional cooperation in hsinchu wind turbine generator machine system demonstration “small and medium with test platform”. In Japan, the Taipei city government said the earthquake tsunamis nuclear accidents, related research more form key preview.
Hsinchu city vice mayor had countries, “said repaired near well-known, hsinchu wind” coastal hsinchu city is regarded as one of the best wind field of domestic, suitable for developing wind power. Already in local of electricity sockets every 200 million set 6 small wind turbines watts of electricity every year and about 30 million degrees. In addition, small and medium-sized wind-driven generator also has great development potential.

The United States department of energy and the interior ministry issued a “national maritime wind strategy: create U.S. offshore wind power industry”. This is about American history of offshore wind 493,000 dollars inter-agency cooperation program. This planning focused on resolving three main questions: sea wind power of relatively high cost, installation, operation and grid technical challenge, and field data and project examination and approval procedures for the lack of experience.

To support the strategic work plan, the American energy minister and interior ministers accompanied in salazar recently announced a series of important measures, including investment 5050 million dollars offshore wind power projects and determine the mid-atlantic several located high priority wind area.

Accompanied the investment plan announced within five years, investment mainly include the following three aspects:

Second-ranking technology development (5 years invested 25 million dollars) : support innovative fan design tools and hardware development for the United States, which has cost competitiveness and a world-class level of offshore wind power industry lay the foundation. Specific will include open source computing tools development, system optimization offshore wind power generators plant concept and research to optimize the next generation of sea wind power system coupling and control system of the turbine rotor development.

Second-ranking eliminate market obstacle (3 years into $18 million) : support offshore wind power deployment characterizing limit of key industries departments and factors of basic research and directional environmental research. Specific will include sea wind power market and economic analysis, environmental risk reduction, manufacturing and supply chain development, transmission planning and grid strategy, the best basic structure and operating and wind resource attribute.

Second-ranking next-generation transmission system (3 years into $7.5 million) : financing the next generation of transmission system development and fan is improved, this is cost-effective offshore wind power required a core technology.

Salazar confirmation in the mid-atlantic four wind in the region, the region is determined in November 2010 interior launched a program called “from the Start” wind anti-retroviral therapy part of the program. These four wind area outside the continental shelf respectively in Delaware offshore (122 square miles), Maryland (207 square miles), New Jersey (417 square miles) and Virginia (165 square miles), it will accept early environmental assessment, to shorten sea fan equipment leasing and examination and approval and the time required for evaluation.

3 months, the home office is expected to north Atlantic states certainly again the wind area, including Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and carry out of these areas of additional national environmental policy act (NEPA) environmental assessment. A similar program will in spring in the south Atlantic region, namely, north Carolina.

Under the national maritime wind turbines strategy, the department of energy plan by 2020 sea wind power capacity will to 1,000 million kilowatts, by 2030 achieve 540 million kilowatts. And the effective use of the offshore wind power, will help to achieve the American President Obama proposed to 2035 80% of its electricity from China from renewable energy goals.

China is accelerating wind power construction and is currently building eight 10-million-kilowatt wind power bases in seven provinces, said Shi Pengfei, vice president of the Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA).

These eight bases are located in regions with rich wind energy resources, including Jiuquan in Gansu Province, Hami in Xinjiang, Hebei Province, Jilin Province, eastern Inner Mongolia, western Inner Mongolia as well as Jiangsu and Shandong provinces.

Shi noted that the planning and construction of the 10-million-kilowatt wind power bases will ensure the total output of electricity produced by China’s wind power reaches 100 million kilowatts by 2020 as well as help realize the goals proposed in the “Medium and Long-term Development Plan for Renewable Energy.”

According to sources, the first phase of the first 10-million-kilowatt wind power base in Jiuquan, Gansu Province has been completed, and the construction of the second phase has been launched. Currently, related parties are solving the problem of power transmission to the North China Grid Company.

China aims to realize 100 million kilowatt of wind power installed capacity by 2020. But experts estimate that the total installed capacity is expected to reach 150 million to 300 million kilowatts in 2020, and the average annual increment in the next 10 years is expected to reach about 11 to 26 gigawatts. The main restraining factor of the growth of wind power installed capacity is the construction of supporting power grids.

China’s total installed capacity of wind turbines reached more than 41.8 gigawatts in 2010, ranking first worldwide. Between 2003 and 2009, the growth rate of annual new wind power installed capacity stood at more than 100 percent, except for 2008 under the influence of the financial crisis.

March 8 a.m., China association of resources comprehensive utilization of renewable energy branch secretary LiJunFeng tianjin international wind power generators industry attended 2011, and supporting symposium held during the same 2011 wind situation report meeting speech titled “2011 sea wind power market analysis and prediction”.

LiJunFeng at the meeting said: in face of the wind generator industry development problems occurred in the, “not for some reason and give up development, such as power of development, we need to promote the development of wind power of grid the progress and development of encounter a problem to solve problems”.

When it comes to China’s maritime wind power development, LiJunFeng told, China’s maritime wind technology have basic mature, with the large-scale development condition, but “sea wind power development needs to be planning, sea wind power available scope to plan for good.” He stressed that, “China wind turbines maritime wind power market development to keep the market competition situation, sea wind power equipment manufacturing experience of enterprises should actively enter.”
