25, domestic diameter biggest wind-driven generator main tower drum manufacturing project – “rshi” settle WenDeng nanhai longhai new district. The diameter is 8 meters tower drum designed for a single power 5.0 megawatts (mw) and above wind generator kit, would put domestic wind power industry “lift” to higher category.
25, WenDeng nanhai district 2011 key project commencement and centralized tianrun auto parts industrial foundation stone laying ceremony held at lia, including “longhai rshi”, the 22 project together commenced. Among them, the longhai dhi investment of 400 million yuan, wind turbines manufacture of 8 meters in diameter and tower drum wind turbine blade project will matching 5 mw fan, compensate for domestic fan equipment manufacturing blank. In addition, Korean modern caterpillar and China datang wind investment $5 billion of modern construction project, the wind generator longjiang dhi investment 520 million yuan in the construction of the fan tower drum, the wheel hub project in nanhai district, forming modern wind power industry chain, this also is shandong first wind power industry chain.
Recently, the three gorges group company officials say, the company is careful planning and layout, makes the international first-class clean energy group. It is reported, “1025″ period, the three gorges group will vigorously developing wind power industry, plan until 2015, wind power production installed capacity up to 800 million kilowatts, open the project under construction and building in 800 million kilowatt above, storage resources 30 million kilowatt above. Therefore, in the coming years we will increase investment, and promote the scale of development business of wind power.
An adviser senior researcher LiShengMao says, at the present time in hydroelectric power as main business in three gorges group itself domestic clean energy fields have higher well-knownness, in recent years the three gorges group and actively into the wind power industry, should say in strategy development has strong consistency. But objectively look, three gorges group in wind turbines manufacturers business area into time is late, recent development speed also is relatively slow, so its will on wind power industry within a difference, must foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, give full play to its comparative advantage.
Although with domestic five coal-fired power group, compared to the three gorges group in the domestic field of wind business status still insignificant, but it is still overtake the former potential. On the one hand, the three gorges group has sufficient fund, this is in the wind power industry within a SaShouJian giving full play to our advantages. Because of hydropower generation cost is very low, and three gorges group of hydroelectric power generating capacity bigger, so its profitability relatively strong, and wind power generator industry belongs to the typical capital-intensive industries, ample money for the three gorges group surpassing competitors provide powerful support.
In addition, the current domestic sea wind exploitation has begun, the three gorges group can firmly seize this opportunity to rapidly improve their offshore wind installed capacity. At present domestic sea wind project franchise bidding work is being launched, in the current offshore wind earnings outlook remains unclear under the background of the bidding enterprise are competing for the relevant franchise project including is actually the antioxidant market risk strength, three gorges group can completely with its own capital advantage, actively participate in relevant project bid.
An adviser “issued by the 2010-2015 Chinese wind power industry investment analysis and outlook report points out, 2010 in three gorges group owned subsidiary in China’s water investment group formed on the basis of China’s three gorges new energy Co., solely responsible for the wind turbine generator power and solar energy in new energy field of business operation, this is its creating an international first-class clean energy group’s first steps. At present three gorges group detailed next few years given the wind business development goals, can be regarded as the new energy in business and step on to a new step.
The largest wind farm project in north China’s Tianjin Municipality was connected to grid on Tuesday, supplying power enough for 247,500 households a year.
The Shajingzi Wind Farm, with 49.5 megawatts of generating capacity in its first phase, could generate 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, equivalent to the use of 30,000 tonnes of coal, said Liu Mingzhi, head of the development and planning department of the Tianjin Power Co..
He said the entire project was scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012, when it would boast a generating capacity of 200 megawatts.
The clean energy project is expected to cut dust emissions by 92,400 tonnes a year in Tianjin, based on the amount of coal consumed for that amount of power production.
Liu said the city government invested 1.4 billion yuan (212 million U.S. dollars) in building a smart grid last year, which allowed power from Tianjin Dashentang Wind turbines Farm, the first of its kind in Tianjing, to be connected.
The city’s budget for grid building this year was set at 1.9 billion yuan to allow for more solar and wind generated power, he said.
Problems with grid connection have left many new energy power generating facilities redundant across China.
In recent years, domestic wind power industry concentration is low phenomenon become increasingly obvious. Due to the wind power industry in explosive growth stage, big profit, causing the enthusiasm of wind power generators industry investment around an all-time high. Not only the existing wind firms rapidly expand capacity, industry outside investors are put forward to enter the wind power industry.
But under natural conditions and market risk the double restriction, wind power development met with some difficulties and obstacles. Wind power itself has “congenital deficiency” place, such as not stability, price, high transmission distance, this makes wind power in the market lacks competitive ability. With the great power grid in the negotiation process, wind firms also disadvantaged, almost no voice. If allowed to natural wind power development, its fate cans be imagined. Therefore, to make the wind to undertake emissions reduction and the development of new energy heavyresponsibility, policy support is indispensable, wind generators business enterprise own efforts also cannot little.
Unknown wind power industry
At present, China’s wind power industry have “the sharing and advantage of”. China has the world’s largest wind power market, after a few years of development also laid a good foundation, could midwifery native world famous wind power equipment manufacture enterprise. At the same time, we are completely through to the national the wind and environmental parameters in the observation and statistics analysis, establish a suitable for China’s national conditions of technical standard system, forming technical doorsill, terrorize technical power, thus leading the world of wind power technology development trend.
In countries competed developing new energy technology conditions, who can in the new energy strategy competitive edge in, who can play in the next industrial revolution of world science and technology innovation of “other”, the “engine” of economic development and the new international standard setters.
Our country wind power industry developing rapidly, are motivated now preparation and foreign competitors caravans. On a 5 years, we solved the problem from scratch, The next five years, we will realize the leaping development, solve from having to good questions. Wind turbines manufacturers in the world scope or a new industry. China faces great opportunities, but many problems needmg to be settled as soon as possible, so as to promote its sustainable development.
Unable to exploit the full potential of its wind energy sector, China lost about 2.8 billion kilowatt hours of power last year due to poor grid connectivity, according to a report.
The report by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) has said unused wind-generated electricity amounted to 2.8 billion kilowatt-hours in the first six months of 2010 due to insufficient transmission capabilities and grid connection.
On-grid power generated by wind and solar facilities in the period accounted for only 0.7 per cent of total power generation, the SERC said.
China plans to get 15 per cent of its energy from non-fossil fuels by 2020, with wind power expected to contribute two per cent and solar one per cent.
Experts have pointed to potential wastage in the nation’s large-scale development of wind power because power grid upgrades continue to lag behind the expansion of wind turbines, the official China Daily reported.
China needs extensive upgrades to its power grid to take advantage of the wind farms.
Its wind-power resources are concentrated primarily in the provinces and regions of Northwest China, such as the Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions and Gansu province, while most of the energy consumption is along the heavily populated coastline, according to the 2010 China Wind Power Outlook.
In view of this the State Grid, China’s largest power distributor, plans to spend more than 500 billion yuan (USD 75.9 billion) to upgrade the grid during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015).
It invested 20 billion yuan in UHV transmission lines from 2006 to 2010.
The SERC report says that places with abundant wind power resources, such as the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, account for 75 per cent of unconnected wind-power generation in the country, owing to the lag in grid construction.
“Large-scale wind-power generation is impossible in the short term due to inconsistency in the wind patterns,” said Jiang Liping, vice-president of the State Grid Energy Research Institution.
“One solution could be to utilise a combination of power sources, including thermal and nuclear power, to increase the flexibility of power generation and regulating systems,” Jiang said.
Jining City, Shandong Province, more than 1,000 fishing boats Weishan recently were using wind power. Lake Village fishermen Ai-Jun Chen Zhang Louxiang this to conceal their excitement: “We are years and years living and working in the lake, is very convenient when no electricity, now have the wind turbines, fishing vessels can now have TV, fridge out , environmentally friendly and energy saving. ”
It is understood that the long-term living in the Weishan lake close to 10,000 fishermen in the flow, stay away from the shore, unable to access conventional power grid, a number of fishing vessels using diesel engines but also causes pollution of lake water quality. To ensure that South water quality, pollution control Weishan effort to cut off sources of pollution. Diesel generators to reduce the fishing boats on the lake of direct pollution, use of Lake Weishan advantage of rich wind energy resources, promotion of fishing boats small wind generator.
At present, promotion of Weishan county total more than 1,000 fishing boats small wind generator sets, the formation of annual power generation capacity of 370,000 kwh, annual savings of electricity costs about 330,000 yuan to reduce the emissions of 4500 kg of waste oil
Global wind energy association (GWEC) report shows: the Egyptian government to develop renewable energy sources, actively make the commitment to excavate the industry potential, actively seeks for international co-operation, Egypt renewable energy market over the past twenty years, good development situation.
Egypt new and renewable energy agency (NREA) was established in 1986, aimed at assessing the establishment of renewable energy resources, and through research and demonstration project inspection renewable energy technical plan. Another goal is to NREA Egypt for introducing mature and stable technical and support domestic renewable energy push project.
Since 1980s, the Egyptian domestic already planning and implemented a series of large wind power project. By the end of 2009, Egypt new 65 MW wind power, wind power generators is the country’s total installed capacity reached 430 MW.
Canadian company create original way of generating, develop a balloon similar machines, can be in 300 meters air use wind to generate electricity. This wire fasten of turbine than traditional tower turbines cheap, and in such a high air more can use wind, even on the ground nothing winds regions can be used.
Ontario meagan power companies want to build 10 kw balloon generator, in order to India, China, Pakistan and African countries some remote villages offer other power resources. The company’s chief executive Michael brown said: “I think we will be part of the joint solutions, part of diesel engine, parts and parts.” wind power battery
This generator for meagan power air rotation system, the abbreviation MARS, looks like a soft airship, but it won’t free flight. It was from the ground wire tied, rise to the top, at its center equipped with large fan, can in turn with the wind. Rotating mechanical energy after secondly the wind generator into electricity, current through the wire transfer tied to the ground, and then transported to transformer, then directly to the battery or input power grid.
As regards the maintenance, the base of the winch workers pressure on a button, can let the balloon fell to the ground. Brown imagine each of the balloons every produce a tile electricity cost will be 2.5 – $5 appearance, equivalent to ten kw electrical transmission cost. The power enough for rural families lit one or two small bulbs, drive one or two water pump, and even the local schools of TV and video recorder and hospital refrigerator.
For no electricity country, for example, it is the basic demand. This system in service fee is around 10% of the original price. Machine and service contract costs will be by government or world aid organizations to pay for it. Worldwide, there is 20 million people without electricity, another 10 million people the polarization time less than 10 hours a day. Obviously, this is needed. American experts say, MARS wind turbines manufacturers provides innovative solutions. Nevertheless, this system is not perfect, height is too high means turbines have to cope with low-flying plane, also more easily by ultraviolet ray and atmospheric particles damage. Ultraviolet, high winds may also is too big.
Brown and his company is another preparatory 250 million dollars to complete the wind turbines generators sample development, capital is available in expectation of 9 months development the sample.
China WindPower Group, a Hong Kong-listed wind farms developer on the mainland, has been granted US$120 million in credit facilities from the Asian Development Bank.
The financing would help fund up to 800 megawatts of wind-power plants to be built by China WindPower by 2013, mainly in Jilin province, the company said in a statement after signing a loan contract with ADB. The loan will be repaid in instalments and fully repaid by 2023.
“This represents ADB’s first multi-project financing facility for wind power,” the statement said, adding it would be part-financed by proceeds from its 1.2 billion yuan (HK$1.42 billion) yuan-denominated bonds issued in Hong Kong in October last year.
China WindPower’s projects are mainly in northeast China and Inner Mongolia.
The company said in August last year that it planned to add 360 MW of owned wind-power generators capacity this year and the same amount next year. It owned 258 MW of capacity in mid-2010, which rose to 657 MW by the end of the year.
The company received central government approval to build 900 MW of wind turbines farms in 13 projects last year. Its total power generation surged 217 per cent last year to 510.83 million kWh from 2009.
Beijing planned to more than triple the mainland’s installed wind-power capacity to more than 150,000 MW by 2020 from 41,800 MW at the end of last year.
China last year dethroned the United States as the nation with the world’s largest wind-power installed capacity. However, due to lagging power grid investment, about 30 per cent of that capacity is estimated to be idle.
Still, some analysts are more bullish than the official forecast on wind generators installation. According to Samsung Securities, the nation could have 115,000 MW of wind-power capacity by 2015, or 8 per cent of its total power generation capacity, rising to 225,000 MW in 2020, or 11 per cent of the total.
China has surpassed the United States as the country with the largest wind power installation in the world, China’s state-run news agency Xinhua reports.
China installed 16 gigawatts of wind power generator capacity in 2010, a 62 percent increase from the previous year, said the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association, Xinhua reports.
That brings the country’s total installed capacity to 41.8 gigawatts, giving China — the world’s top emitter of greenhouse gases — the potential to replace 31.3 million tons of coal, slashing emissions of more than 90 million tons of carbon dioxide, Xinhua reports.
The United States, by contrast, installed about 5 gigawatts of new wind-power capacity in 2010, bringing its total installed capacity to 40.2 gigawatts, says the Global Wind Energy Council.
Yet China’s grid-connected capacity lags behind installed capacity by more than 30 percent, CREIA says, which is considerably higher than the 10 percent gap in advanced countries and affects wind power efficiency.
To translate the country’s wind power installations into massive utilization, Greenpeace said the government must introduce effective incentive policies and completely overhaul the national grid.
“This shortfall in generation tells us that China wind turbines still has a long way to go to reach its full potential in wind and other renewable energy,” said Yang Ailun of Greenpeace East Asia in a news release.
“Despite a renewable energy policy requiring grid companies to purchase all available electricity generated by wind farms, wind power access to the grid is impeded by an unstable, outdated grid infrastructure,” he said.
Other problems, Yang said, include a lack of incentives and penalties for grid companies and slow progress in additional wind energy technologies.
An Ernst & Young report released in November indicated China, which has surpassed the United States as the world’s biggest consumer of energy, is the leader in the global renewable energy market. In the second quarter of 2010, the report said, China invested around $10 billion in wind power turbines, about half of the global total of $20.5 billion.
If the Chinese Cabinet approves a proposed $758 billion energy industrial development plan, $227 billion of investment would flow into China’s wind power sector, Xinhua reports.
Half of the wind turbines expected to come online this year around the world will have been manufactured in China.
Analysts say Chinese President Hu Jintao’s scheduled visit to Washington to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama next week is likely to push the issue of China’s wind generators subsidies into the spotlight.
