Weining Guanfenghai Wind Power Generation

How many GW-scale wind power generation bases are there in China?

The wind resource distributions in China are presented and assessed, and the 10 GW-scale wind power generation bases are introduced in details. The domestic research status of main components of WP system is then elaborated, followed by an evaluation of the wind power equipment manufacturers.

Why is wind power installed capacity increasing in China?

A key base of such rapidly increasing wind power installed capacity is the growth and synchronization of the wind equipment manufacturing industry. China’s central government issued policies to promote the independent innovation of key energy equipment technology research, test demonstrations, and popularization and application.

Does China have wind power generation?

Wind power generation has increased rapidly in China over the last decade. In this paper the authors present an extensive survey on the status and development of wind power generation in China. The wind resource distributions in China are presented and assessed, and the 10 GW-scale wind power generation bases are introduced in details.

Why is the coefficient value of wind energy positive in China?

Thus, the coefficient value is positive and significant. However, the provinces with abundant wind power energy in China are those with abundant coal resources, making them important regions of CO 2 emission reduction. Thus, it possibly led to a higher coefficient value.

How big is China's wind energy potential?

From the late 1980s, China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has organized four national wind energy resource assessments, which provide a strong support for the development of WP. The third assessment results conclude that the onshore potential is about 1400 GW and the offshore potential about 600 GW .

Why is wind power a problem in China?

Since most wind power plants are located in the northwest and north of China, where there are abundant coal resources and low local electricity consumption, the local grid could not accept so much wind power generation and needs to transmit it to other provinces with insufficient local power supply.
