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.

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.

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.

“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.

The recent price surges have forced many industry players to halt production or create a complete industry chain by expanding into the upstream sector. The price hikes are expected to intensify the already fierce competition in the sector, causing those who lack capital and expertise to be squeezed out altogether, according to an industry insider.

Rare Earth Price Skyrockets

China’s rare earth prices have risen significantly since July 2010, exceeding 200 percent since the beginning of this year, with some categories reaching 600 to 1,000 percent.

One of the key reasons for the price explosion is the Chinese government’s introduction of a levy on rare earth resources as of April 1 of this year, said Zhou Jianxiong, Chairman of Hunan province-based Xiangtan Electric Manufacturing. In addition, on May 19th the State Council of China released a document outlining the council’s viewpoint on the sustainability and development of the rare earth sector in a move to regulate the market.

According to a report from Guolian Securities, the price of rare earth is expected to continue the upward trend in the second half of this year.

A Bubble Emerges

Following five successive years of impressive growth, China’s wind power sector saw its growth rate decline to 37 percent in 2010. With nearly 100 small wind turbine manufacturers in China, total production capacity for 2011 is expected to reach 29 GW, far exceeding the actual demand of 15 to 18 GW. This trend is evidence that the rapid development of the wind power market has led to excessive competition and accelerated formation of a bubble.

It has preferred to use the world market – which has grown to more than 40GW of installed solar capacity – as its test tube, and to refine its products.
And, it has also been conscious of the problems of its wind industry, which grew so quickly that many turbines were either of sub-standard quality or could not be connected to the grid, and it has learned carefully from those failures. Now, it seems, it is prepared to hit the “Go” button.
China does have more than 100 million homes that use solar hot water, but unlike other countries, China’s solar market is expected to be dominated by utility-scale projects rather than rooftop panels, as most people live in units and apartments. And rather than jumping in with huge projects as their first investment, as is occurring in Australia, the Chinese have been keen to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Over the past few years, China has been testing various solar tariffs on a regional or on a strictly targeted basis – offering incentives for a series of utility-scale solar projects that have started at modest size and have gradually been scaled up – 1MW, 5MW, 10MW and then 20MW – before now being rolled out on a national scale.
The structure of the tariff is also fascinating. At 1.15 renmimbi/kwh ($A0.16) for projects approved before July 1 and falling to 1 RMB for projects approved since then, the tariff is the lowest national tariff in the world. Clearly, China does not think it needs much to kick start the domestic solar industry. There are several reasons for this.
The cost of solar has dropped so rapidly in the past two years that solar is now thought to be already competitive with wind in many regions in China wind generator , some of which have excellent solar radiation, particularly in the western desert regions. These regions can produce solar energy at double the efficiency of other regions. China also needs a smaller tariff than other countries because of lower labour costs and supply chain advantages (they make the stuff there).
And it is also close to parity with coal-fired power for local industrial users who, unlike other countries, pay a significantly higher tariff than individual consumers. According to one report, LDK Solar, China’s most integrated solar energy company, expects the levelised cost of energy of its solar modules to fall below average grid levels in China to around $US0.07/kwh in 2012. It’s a massive irony, and an amazing opportunity for the solar industry that the (coal-fired) electricity used by companies such as LDK of wind turbines and Jinko Solar to make their modules is already more expensive than the energy produced from those modules.

Chu said the plan would stimulate innovation, increase employment, the development of clean energy, helping the U.S. win in the new century, more competitive. The U.S. government pledged $ 50.5 million investment plan, the focus includes the following three aspects:

Technology development (5 years, invested $ 25 million): support innovative fan design tools and hardware development. Specific tools will include the development of open source computing, system optimization concept of offshore wind farms as well as optimizing the next generation of offshore wind turbine rotor coupled system and control system development.

Remove market barriers (three years and $ 18 million): support for the deployment of offshore wind limit the key industry sectors and factors of the basic research and targeted environmental studies. Details to include offshore wind power market and economic analysis, environmental risk reduction, small wind turbines manufacturing and supply chain development, and transmission planning and network strategy, the best infrastructure and operations.

The next generation of transmission (three years and $ 7.5 million): Funding the development of the next generation of fans and improved transmission, which is cost-effective offshore wind power required for a core technology.

In addition, identified four areas in the Atlantic wind. The four regions are in the wind generators outside the continental shelf offshore of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia.

Offshore wind power in national strategy, the U.S. Department of Energy 2020, offshore wind power capacity will reach 10 million kilowatts by 2030 reach 54 million kilowatts. The effective use of offshore wind energy, will help establish the United States to achieve Obama’s “2035, 80 percent of its electricity from renewable energy” goals.
