January 21, the French wind turbine manufacturer and installer Vergnet Group, has won orders for three million euros, will be the southern Afghan province of Adrar construction of 10 MW, 10 HP wind turbine station in Algeria the first one.
The project through international competitive bidding, with a total investment of about 3 million euros. French Vergnet company total investment advantages from the operation of the electricity prices and the cost of kilowatt-hour price advantage over major competitors – Germany’s MAN Forrostaal company won the bid in one fell swoop. Wind power plant covers an area of 30 hectares, in 2012 put into operation. Adrar energy produced will be incorporated into the provincial power grid, which will greatly reduce the area of energy.
Vergnet the French design, wind generators manufacture, sale, installation and maintenance of wind power equipment industry consortia. So far, the global production and installation of 500 wind turbines, each producing 15 million MWh of electricity. Recently signed with Ethiopia, duration 36 months, 120 MW, cost 210 million euros in wind power plant turnkey construction contracts.
January 18, the European Union Wind Energy Association (EWEA) published the “2009 European Union annual report of offshore wind power development.” According to the report, the European Union in 2009 the total installed capacity of offshore wind power generation increased by 54% to 577,000 kilowatts.
The rapid development of offshore wind power generation
According to the report statistics, in 2009 the EU wind power, especially in the field of offshore wind power generation has developed rapidly. European Union in 2009 a new wind farm 8, the new offshore wind turbine generator 199 units. In 2009 the total European offshore wind power capacity reached 57.7 million kilowatts, compared with 2008, 373 thousand kilowatts up 54%. In addition, EWEA is expected to be completed by 2010, the European Union will also be 10 new wind farm, the total installed capacity is expected to exceed one million kilowatts.
At present, the European offshore wind farms under construction in a total of 17, the total installed capacity of power generation market to reach 3500 MW, of which more than half of the wind farms are built in Britain. In addition to built 17 wind farms, the EU has approved the establishment of a wind farm there are 52, the total installed capacity of up to 16 million kilowatts. There are also a number of wind farm construction plan is being worked out. The wind farm will provide the European Union more than 10% of the electricity supply.
Not only are more and more, the European Union in the new scale of wind turbines farms is also growing, in 2008 the European Union average of new wind farms installed capacity of 6.2 million kilowatts, whereas in 2009 it rose to 7.2 million kilowatts.
EWEA said that the need for more investment in wind power development
EWEA CEO Christian right in the European Union in 2009 the development of offshore wind power generation, said sure, but he also pointed out that despite rapid growth, but the EU member governments should continue to support offshore wind power development. He said: “Taking into account the establishment of large-scale wind farms in the financial and technical difficulties to be overcome, we have achieved in 2009 is incredible. In order to encourage wind power industry development, the Government should continue to provide a political framework for more help to attract more investors to enter this field. ”
In the fiscal revenue side, according to EWEA statistics, offshore wind power in 2009 brought the EU total of 1.5 billion euros in revenue. Taking into account the large number of EU electricity by 2010, the company will expand their business in North America and Asia, EWEA is estimated that in 2010 this income is expected to increase to 30 billion euros. Of course, the Government’s support is important because these projects are usually the biggest problem is funding. Worked six wind farms injection group of the European Commission said the recovery plan, will continue to increase investment in this area, but also the European Investment Bank, said of the wind power generator investments.
Recently, the European Union nine countries signed an agreement to build in the North Sea agreed to study the feasibility of UHV grids, which is seen as the European Union an important breakthrough in the development of wind power generation. In addition the European Investment Banking will also provide a similar connection to the United Kingdom and Norway, wind power project investment 300 million euros, the project also was optimistic about the outside world.
Kristen believes that more and more money into shows that policy makers clearly wind power will be the key to EU’s future energy supplies. He said: “As more and more capital investment, the wind turbines continuous development of the field of wind power will provide the EU to bring in advanced technology, more job opportunities and economic recovery.”
We acted as a lookout kinetic energy into mechanical energy, then mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is wind power. Wind power needs a device called a wind turbine. This wind turbine, in general can be divided into the wind wheel (including the rudder), generator and tower three parts. (Large-scale wind power plant is basically no rudder, generally only a small (including home-based) and have a rudder).
Wind power as a clean, renewable energy, more and more countries around the world attention. Yun amount of its huge, global wind energy is about 2.74 × 109MW, of which wind energy can be used for the 2 × 107MW, wind power than the Earth can be water development and utilization of the total 10 times bigger. Wind has long been people to use – mainly through the windmills for water pumping, grinding, etc., and now people are interested in how to use the wind to generate electricity.
At present the world each year obtain the energy of burning coal, and only wind energy within a year provided by a third. Thus, both domestic and international attention to the use of wind to generate electricity, develop new energy sources.
With the global economic development, wind generator market has developed rapidly. Since 2004, global wind power capacity has doubled from 2006 to 2007, the global wind power installed capacity to expand 27%. 2007 has been 90000 megawatts, by 2010 this figure was 16 megawatts. The next 20-25 years, the world’s wind energy market will increase 25% annually. With the technological advances and development of environmental protection, wind power generation in the business will be fully competitive with coal-fired generation.
From the Austrian Wind Energy Association has recently learned that, despite the international financial crisis on the Austrian export industry led to relatively large impact, but the prosperity of Austria, the wind power industry continues.
In recent years, benefiting from wind power in the international electricity market share increases, pairs of wind power equipment and products, growing demand for wind generators control systems, leaves equipment, generators, and energy conversion systems, as well as complete the implementation of wind power solutions Austrian wind power industry is mainly export products have more market. Austrian Wind Power Industry in 2007 exports reached 2.5 billion euros in 2008 has increased by 20%, exports for the first time exceeded 300 million euros.
Austrian Wind Energy Association, said Stephen Chi-han,% 26quot; Austria prosperity of the wind power industry is no accident, it can be seen as the development of the European wind turbines industry as a whole in miniature. % 26quot; in the context of the global financial crisis, the European situation is not optimistic about a number of industry sectors, but the wind power sector is full of opportunities for development. According to the International Energy Agency predicts that by 2030 wind power can provide the world’s demand for electricity by 9%.
The European Wind Energy Association said that at present wind power to meet electricity demand in Europe 4%, a total of 65000 MW of wind generating capacity entered the European power grid, by 2020, the European wind power market share in the whole will reach 14% -18 %, the European Union to create 350,000 new jobs. This means that the next 20 years, Europe has a huge wind power market, the demand for wind power generator equipment will also be synchronized rapidly. Thus, wind power continues to be the EU as a green, reliable and market potential of new forms of energy, and active choice to increase the market for wind power investment.
Only in 2008 the EU’s total investment in wind power more than 110 billion euros, an increase of wind power capacity 8484MW, the creation of 16 million jobs, wind power generation capacity of the EU industry has become the fastest-growing areas.
The protection of energy security, tackling climate change under the guidance of the principles of the European Union increased in recent years to encourage Member States and relevant enterprises to increase wind power technology and equipment R & D investment, effectively promote the EU’s wind power market development, and in related industries to achieve an international competitive advantage. Installed capacity of wind power is currently the world’s top 10 countries, the EU member states accounted for seven, the world’s major wind power markets are also in Europe.
At the same time, from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Nordic enterprises are also the leading global equipment supplier market, its technology, equipment and services have been exported around the world. European Union countries use wind power industry, promote the development associated with the design, processing, building materials, insurance and finance and other related industries to development, so that the European wind power industry has become an important leading high-tech-intensive industries. It is worth mentioning that, in the European Union and the Government’s policy to encourage member states, EU wind generators companies wind power continuously upgrade technology and equipment levels, effectively reducing the cost of production and to protect its dominant position in the international market.
In Austria, for example, the Austrian Wind Energy Association estimates that if wind power business achievements in technological innovation can be an effective application and promotion, through technological advances and equipment production scale, serialization and standardization of the next 10 years, onshore wind power, Austria the average cost of computer equipment at the current level can be reduced by 20%, and offshore wind turbine equipment, the average cost can be reduced more than 40%, so that the overall cost of wind power industry has dropped significantly. Taking into account the EU’s commitment to its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions in 1990 on the basis of reduced by at least 20%, and willing to work with other major emitters of an emission reduction targets will be increased to 30%, the future for a long period of time, wind power in the European Union compared to other forms of electrical energy will be more obvious competitive advantage.
The afternoon of December 2, Datang Hebei wind power company and the Zhangjiakou City People’s Government, Guyuan County People’s Government signed a 200,000 kilowatts of wind power resources development, strategic cooperation agreement. According to the agreement, the two sides will establish a strategic partnership, work together to Guyuan County of Zhangjiakou City, baijiantan wind resource development and utilization.
It is understood that Guyuan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province is located in the flatland areas of the north-west, is located in Inner Mongolia Plateau and the North China Plain, the excessive belt, with a clear continental monsoon climate characteristics, in most regions of the abundant wind energy resources. The signed baijiantan wind-scale development of 200,000 kilowatts of wind energy resources, with an area of large, wind speed, wind duration and wind direction and stability characteristics, are flatland areas of wind resource, one of the better wind farm. The wind farm will become wind generators company in Hebei Datang Hebei Province has a second office in wind power resources, the strategic significance is extremely important and has broad prospects of development.
The morning of December 1, Jiangsu Sheyang county to convene the Standing Committee of Qi Yongmei County Development and Reform Commission, Land Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau, sea fishing Bureau and other departments and future generations, coastal towns and other responsible persons, fourth floor conference room at the county government will do to speed up the topic wind turbines project construction related matters.
After listening to the relevant reports on the situation, the Qi Yongmei that Sheyang attaches great importance to China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group, invest in wind power projects, and has done a great deal of preparatory work, at present the basic conditions have started, and she hoped that China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group and Sheyang county departments concerned to strengthen communication and contact, to seize 106 Taki time for on-site handover, as soon as possible to put in place, and make all the preparations for pre-construction work; all relevant departments and towns must have a clear mandate to quickly organize the personnel concerned involved in this project, go all out to provide a good service projects, and strive to the end of December with the farmers before the land deal a good sign. County Land Bureau, land-use planning to do the project to implement the declaration and other related land acquisition, to ensure an early wind generators projects under construction.
The upstream side, spare parts prices, the downstream side of large power companies to “low bid”, the wind power industry environment fully equipped business optimism, profits increasingly thin. According to insiders, because in recent years, countries in developing policies to promote wind power industry, wind power assembled in our country’s business has been great development. At the same time, there are a lot of electrical, motor-related enterprises and the introduction of foreign diversification mature technology, so that wind power in China in recent years, fully equipped business after another, the industry competitive pressures continue to grow. Noteworthy is that, faced with the demand is much greater than the supply of spare parts and raw materials prices, wind power assembled corporate profitability declined. Brokerage researchers said the reason for this situation is not only because the wind turbine machine output is growing, it is mostly because of China’s wind power components a high degree of specialization, with the accelerated replacement fan, wind power wind turbine machine parts it is difficult to keep up with the pace of development. Example, 850 kilowatts of the machine has been updated to 1.5M watts or even higher, generators from the developed to the direct-drive gear-type permanent magnet. This is one of the listed companies to march on behalf of business is electrical (600,112), the company recently has stated that its holding subsidiary, Guangxi 10000 Deas Galaxy Ai Ai 10000 Wind Power Co., Ltd. will provide sales AV928/2500KW diss Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Co., Ltd. 80 sets of wind turbine for wind farms in Vietnam MauSon needed for the building. Secondly, as steel, petroleum, chemical fiber, resins and other raw materials prices, so that the price of spare parts there are certain to rise. In the face of strong upstream and downstream of large power companies, wind power companies the right to speak has been assembled is not enough. It is understood that all along, most of the implementation of China’s wind generator grid, grid-connected power from large power companies to firmly grasp. Wind an investment large, slow recovery period, only large enterprises have financial investments. Large-scale electric power enterprises the purpose of the acquisition is due to state regulations must meet the 13 percent quota of renewable energy generation, rather than considering using wind power to make money, so they do not rush to the upper hand and electrical equipment for expanded reproduction. Wind farm on the part of the state of the concession tender, great because they want to work out the guidance of wind power prices, but often tender the lowest bid price, then no doubt the whole industry, electricity prices remain low. And thus also makes wind power companies are looking to fully equipped, “correspondingly,” the desire to enhance profit margins difficult to achieve. Industry experts pointed out that with the national team assembled the industry production capacity of wind power policy of gradual implementation of the restrictions, as well as the wind industry is still moving on the fast track in the development of the fact that the future of wind power generator assembled the industry is expected to improve profitability, high-quality companies will continue in the competition development and growth. Statistical and forecasting data show that, as of the end of 2009, China will have eight municipal wind turbine installed capacity accumulated over 1 million kilowatts, respectively Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia, Ulanqab City, Chifeng City, Bayannur City and Tongliao city of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei, Jilin white city of Jiuquan City, Gansu Province. In 2010, China will in the 23 provinces there are any new wind power installed capacity, with the exception of Taiwan Province, other provinces, the country is expected to add capacity will reach 10 million kilowatts or more.
Recently, Kim Purple Wind Power Station in Guangxi, a 49.5-megawatt project in the resource county grand foundation-stone laying ceremony was held, marking the first wind power projects in Guangxi officially started, which opened in Guangxi “green” energy development of new prelude.
It is learned that the mountain tops, gold purple power project in Guangxi in 2009 to include key construction projects.
