The Competitiveness Of Wind Power Equipment Industry Increased Gradually
By dgffg
January 13, 2010, the National Energy Board recognizes that Reform Commission abolished the localization rate of 70% of wind power equipment requirements. National Development and Reform Commission deputy director of the Energy Research Institute, Li Junfeng, a researcher believes that the cancellation of localization rate in line with China’s wind power development objective law.
Li Junfeng, said: “At first, the cause of the policy is China’s wind power industry in the early stages of development, when the multi-core technology is the introduction of foreign capital, and key equipment to be imported. The current trend in technological advances and improvement of the productive capacity of our fans is about 1400 million to 15 million kilowatts, accounting for about one third of the world, not only to meet the needs of the domestic market, some enterprises have already started supplying Europe and the United States market, is also a relatively complete industrial chain. In such a stage of development, policy cancellation is also a the inevitable result of the development, while it also promoting China’s wind power industry and the internationalization of markets, and international practice.
At present, on the excess capacity of wind power equipment, popular concern about the dispute. Li Junfeng, said the market economy has always been a survival of the fittest, the process of pursuing the interests of many businesses is that they saw the market potential of wind power are willing to join them, the state’s development goals of non-fossil energy in 2020 to reach 15% of energy consumption, At present, there is a great goal from distance, the current growth rate of about 0.5 percentage points per year. China’s photovoltaic power generation and wind power equipment, surplus production capacity is a relative rather than absolute surplus. Considerable potential for wind energy use in China, the southeast coast and nearby islands are rich in wind resource areas, the effective wind power density greater than or equal to 200 W / m contour parallel to the coastline; throughout the year in the wind speed is greater than or equal to 3 m / seconds, the number of hours is about 7000 8000 hours, greater than or equal to 6 m / s the number of hours of 4000 hours. Northern Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, China’s wind energy resources are also abundant in northern areas, the effective wind power density of 200 300 watts / square meter. Heilongjiang, Jilin, eastern, northern Hebei Province and the Liaodong Peninsula, the wind energy resources are better, effective wind power density of 200 W / m or more throughout the year, and the wind speed is greater than equal to 3 m / s time for 5,000 hours, throughout the year winds is greater than and equal to 6 m / s time for 3,000 hours of wind energy used for transportation across the country. Li Junfeng believes that it is reported that the individual regions of Inner Mongolia Wind Power abandoned the wind phenomenon, on the one hand is due to special weather caused by power grid construction is lagging behind the other hand, regulation lack of capacity caused by the technical and mechanisms from the two-pronged approach, in order to avoid waste of resources. Increase the proportion of non-fossil energy sources from the overall situation, there must be a national chess ideas in order to make better use of the wind up.
Li Junfeng said China’s land-based wind power generation accounts for about 70% of wind energy, marine wind energy accounts for about 30%, our sea area is extensive, offshore wind energy is promising, at present, submarine cable applications, offshore wind energy equipment maintenance, so that offshore wind power development From a technical point of view and economic point of view in terms of greater difficulty than the land-based wind energy. He stressed that the outside world in the field of wind power equipment manufacturing there is a misunderstanding, that is, that the old, large manufacturers, the supply will certainly be better, but decided to enterprise competitiveness, the key is product quality, after-sales service support platform, these are the decisions their long-term development of the main factors.
