India in recent years has been committed to renewable energy development. Recently, a fresh-baked report shows that India’s wind power potential of up to 30 GW, wind turbine generator market potential is amazing.

According to the report, it is assumed that the load density of the wind turbines of 9 MW / m 2, based on current technology, wind turbines three different wheel height to estimate the range of the wind power potential in India in 2006 GW (hub height 80 m) to 3121 GW (hub height 120 m). This figure is nearly 20 times to 30 times higher than the Indian government previously estimated.

India most of the potential for wind power is concentrated in the southern and western states. They are Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Wind power potential of these five states accounted for 95 per cent of the wind power potential in India, the best state of the conditions of wind power, wind power potential of the largest state of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu .

The report is published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, USA. LBNL through the assistance of the geographic information system platform, the small wind turbines potential of India to make a more comprehensive survey than in the past, complete the assessment of this challenging, and ultimately come to a startling conclusion: India’s wind power potential is far higher than predicted by the Government of India before 102 GW, up to 3,000 GWh. Predictions of wind power potential in India has been constantly refreshed, 102GW 49 000 MW from the earliest to later. Nevertheless, the up to 30 times the rate of increase is somewhat unexpected.

Taiwan sectors of the economy has held the inauguration ceremony of the sun roof of one million one thousand land and sea wind machine “to promote the program office, I hope 2030 total installed capacity of renewable energy can meet more than 80 percent of Taiwan people’s livelihood electricitythis will also be huge business opportunities for related companies.

The sun roof of one million “will combine the finance and wholesale purchase rate mechanism to guide system operators to establish a new mode of operation is expected to bring about the financing, insurance, operation and maintenance of industrial development; wind aspect by the Project Office, in order to land the waters The wind power generation and industry to promote the main direction of the coordination Department are excluded from the regulatory and administrative barriers, and strongly encourage the industry to put into small wind turbines farm development, equipment and marine engineering industries.

It is understood that, towards the nuclear-free homeland, reduce dependence on traditional fossil energy, the Taiwan authorities, Ministry of Economic Affairs Minister Wong Chung says, the solar and wind energy is the best choice for Taiwan, and also conducive to the development of carbon dioxide reduction, structural adjustment and promotion of low-carbon energy green industrial development objectives.

The end of January this year, cumulative photovoltaic device about 101.6MW, is expected to be completed in 2015 420MW, 1020MW of solar electricity generation system by 2020 to set up; wind energy will be wind power development by the land wind power generators gradually extended to offshore wind, 2030 to set one thousand years ago, wind turbines, the total installed capacity will reach 4200MW is expected to be NT $ 5,000 billion business opportunities for the wind power industrial chain.

Winning new orders overseas is increasingly important for Sinovel after the firm lost share in its home market last year. The company dropped from market leader to number two in terms of installations after fewer government concession projects were awarded.
It is also suffering from fierce competition in China wind generator, which has pushed down prices, eroding margins. Sinovel’s profits for 2011 fell by 77% on the previous year to 739m yuan, according to figures released today.
But entering new markets has also become tougher since component supplier AMSC launched legal action against the Chinese company last year for alleged intellectual property theft.
The case prompted Irish developer Mainstream Renewable Power to freeze plans to develop 1GW of projects with Sinovel.
Sinovel is however moving forward on a 34.5MW wind turbines farm in Brazil agreed last September and it recently commissioned a 6MW project in Sweden. The company has also been involved in discussions to build a 200-300MW project in Greece.
The new deal was one of six agreements signed between Turkey and China this week.
The other deals include a $350m solar panel factory and another wind farm, according to a statement from the Turkish government.

China’s wind farm market bubble will deflate as the industry enters the worst year in its history, said the Spanish wind power maker Gamesa

“The first half of 2012 is the worst time in the last four years, triggering a faster industry consolidation,” said Jorge Calvet, chairman of the company.

Even though China consolidated its position as the world’s wind power leader in both newly and cumulative installed capacities in 2011, with 18 gigawatts of wind turbines installed, that was down 6.9 percent year-on-year.

As a result of the slowdown, Gamesa received no orders in the first quarter of 2012. “We will see even faster deflation in the first half of 2013,” the news agency reported Calvet as saying.

The Spanish turbine maker is the only wind turbines company that recorded higher profits in 2011. China’s wind farm industry has excessive capacity, going from 10 to 12 manufacturers in 2005 to more than 85 in 2011, according to Calvet.

Li Junfeng, director of the China Renewable Energy Industries Association, said China’s wind power industry encountered many difficulties in 2011, including slower wind farm construction and many accidents in the sector, but nevertheless managed to overcome all the hardships and demonstrated excellent performance by the end of the year.

Finland’s largest wind turbines built in Finland, the western city of Vaasa.

By the Finnish wind turbine manufacturer Melvin trust companies manufacturing wind turbines 125 meters high, designed for cold and moderate wind conditions, can generate electricity in wind speeds of 4-25 meters per second. Generator installed capacity of 3.6 MW, to meet more than 600 residential electricity and heating needs, Vasa Wind power generation investment in electricity generation is expected to be delivered by the end of April.

As of 2011, the world’s largest wind generator  manufactured by the German company Aina Ken, of about six megawatts of installed capacity, but in the United States and other multinational companies are racing to build bigger wind turbines.

Finland has 130 wind power stations, a total installed capacity of 200 MW. The Government of Finland’s climate and energy strategy target, up to 2000-2500 MW of wind power installed capacity in 2020, 6 percent of this means that the Finnish national electricity from wind power.

The Third World Summit on the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) held on February 21, 2012, small wind energy around the world to install small wind turbines up to 700 000 units.

Small wind turbines are all over the world are more and more attention in some markets has reached a considerable scale.

The report found that small wind turbines, nearly 70 million units have been installed around the world, China is the largest market for small wind turbines (installation of 45 million units), followed by the United States.

The WWEA estimated over 330 companies manufacturing wind turbines in over 40 countries and regions, most of them in China, the United States, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom.

On the current China – Asia-Europe Expo Barkol County signed the three wind power projects, wind farm New Energy Development Co., Ltd. Santanghu a 49,500 KW wind power project in Xinjiang Tianshan Power Co., Ltd.the Santanghu wind farm of a 49 500 KW wind power project, UPC Asia wind turbines (Hong Kong) Limited Santanghu wind farm 10KW wind power projects, contracted projects, the total installed capacity of 199,000 KW.

In recent years, Barkol County firmly seize the opportunity “Xinjiang to east,” the implementation of the strategy, the implementation of large enterprises and groups strategy and advantageous resources transformation strategy, the use of local three pond lake’s abundant wind energy resources, to attract enterprises to invest wind power projects.

Jianyong, the Barkol county Committee, small wind turbines Deputy Mayor, told reporters Barkol County wind power total installed capacity of 40 to 45 million KW as of the end of December 2011, also the Hami region built the first wind power energy base .

CHINA, the world’s most populous nation, has targeted non-fossil fuel consumption to be at 15% by 2020, with the energy sources to come from hydro-electricity, solar, wind, nuclear and other new energy.

It is an achievable feat, but the Chinese government must pursue its reform of the new energy industry at full throttle, according to industry players.

They say while hydro wind  power has become one of the fastest growing alternatives in China, with a steady increase in terms of production and consumption, other energy substitutes should also be given priority.

China Power Investment Corpo­ration president Lu Qizhou said hydro power was currently the most economical of all in China with a development rate of over 50%.

“Basically, hydro-power development in developed wind power generation countries around the world has hit the 80% mark.

“So for China, it is suffice to say that we have achieved tremendous growth,” he told a news briefing in Beijing recently.

Former National Energy Adminis­tration chief Zhang Guobao said that in recent years, hydro power and other new energy sectors had developed at a fast pace and drawn the international community’s attention.

US President Barack Obama cited China in his State of the Union address, saying that the United States should not be lagging behind China in new energy development.

“But, we also have our share of problems,” he added.

“Our solar energy production is ranked No.1 in the world. China’s wind generator solar power export is more than 50% of the world’s trade value and 90% of solar energy produced in China were exported to the world.”

Zhang said industry experts had urged the government to tap into the domestic market for solar power and commercialise the use of clean energy.

China Knowledge reported that China Longyuan Power Group Corp the country largest wind-power generators producer electricity output amounted to 2.42 terawatt hours in February up by 38.64%YoY.

The firm wind power output surged 38.31%YoY to 1.43 TWhs and its thermal power output rose 36.69%YoY to 958.9 GWh last month. Electricity output from other renewable energy sources soared 224.15% year on year to 30 GWhs.

In the first two months of this year, the company electricity output increased 7.82%YoY to 4.44 TWhs.

It is understood that a number of enterprises plan to pilot wind farms along the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, last year in northeastern earthquake hit construction.

Japan’s Jiji News Agency reported that the wind power project is led by the Marubeni wind power Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsui Shipbuilding Corporation, Nippon Steel Company and other enterprises to participate. Jiji News Agency quoted a news source reported that Marubeni Corporation, a large-scale floating wind farm project will receive the financial support of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the initial installed capacity of 12,000 kilowatts of electricity, power to 100,000 households.

According to plan, Marubeni intends to begin before the end of March this year, projects to test, is expected to put into operation before 2016. Marubeni Corporation is scheduled for official release next week the wind power generators farm project.
