China wind power manufacturing are entering a new stage

If the global fan the development of the manufacturing industry as a long distance race, China’s sinovel wind power and junwu technology, dongfang electric enterprises at present already running into the first camp, foreign enterprise, such as some old German Siemens, India SuSiLan etc jilt behind. From 2009 new wind installed perspective, the above three Chinese companies has been respectively in the third, fifth, seventh.

The capital market further magnifies the Chinese enterprise’s leading momentum, advance met their championship goal. On January 7th, coming in a-share listed sinovel wind determine stock publish price for 90 yuan/shares to calculations, the total market capitalization listed after more than 90 billion yuan, more than junwu technology and Denmark wes tower si, had become the world’s biggest fan wind turbines manufacturers. While sinovel wind from 2006 founded till now, less than five years.

However, these look very beautiful index, mainly reflects the quantification of development speed and within a daypart market scale that is largely outside, not reliable. A enterprise can go farther, mainly depends on the product quality and service level, technical strength, creativity and other internal factors is, in essence, can efficiently and with high quality to meet customer needs. If reviewing the “quality” index, China wind generators fan manufacturers still is backward.

Since last year, homebred fan appear quality problems, including the machine collapsed, leaf, spindle motor fracture, fire, gearbox damage etc, domestic high-ranking fan manufacturers are also more or less to appear some quality problems, although not appeared malignant quality accident, and the primary reason allegedly not to design and manufacture of link fan fan enterprise exists, but the core technology of the insufficiency, the management does not reach the designated position, to win market and big price war etc. Phenomenon, it won’t affect fan quality.

Since 2005, China wind power industry into the BaoFaShi growth stage, the wind installed double for four consecutive years. In market demand support and government policy support, rely mainly on purchase technology from abroad 936.2 local fan manufacturers gain extraordinary development, market size quickly beyond foreign competitors. But at the same time, China’s fan enterprise’s technical short board has not been effectively fill long. Many enterprises to grab opportunities and eager to launch products, in order to expand the scale and launchs price competition, not enough time and funds sufficiently to digest absorb, also hard to further self-directed innovation.

Though there are some domestic companies to further development and innovation, but large core technology still control in foreign enterprise hands. This and Chinese home appliance enterprise some alike.

And the life that occupy the home wind generators appliance product used different, the wind generator design life is generally 20-25 years, operating environment is usually conditions of the jungle. Once appear quality problem, whether wind power.at the developers, fan manufacturers or grid operator, will suffer. If the wind, by sea is a loss will be greater.

Foreign manufacturers have fan for large outbreaks quality problem, eventually lead to bankruptcy. At present, China’s most fan put into operation time only two or three years, just had the warranty, some possible existence of quality problem has not been completely exposed. Cannot because of the accident has appeared is not serious would lightly.

In the development of the industry initial stage, the enterprise on the speed and scale of keen on technology and often than quality pursue, but industry development from high growth stabilise even slipped, technology and quality, importance of truly exposed. Enterprise high-speed developing cover problems, most of the growth will fall after the formation of deadly damage, but meanwhile enterprise already often no healing power.

The beginning of this year, subject to high quality wind resources “enclosure” danger and grid bottleneck, China wind business to 100% above growth for four consecutive years of “savage growth” stage, to enter the average annual growth rate of 30% of steady development period, overproduction and industry reshuffle will wind turbine generator be the trend of The Times. Those scale in front but craftmanship insufficient enterprise, the face of the fierce competition and more captious client, living space will be smaller and smaller.

Fan manufacturing a long race is entering a new stage, the stage of the competition, but not speed physical and steel. Chinese players are still ahead of his rivals catch or was forced to withdraw from the competition, will soon beginning is under way.

Finland’s largest wind power plant started trial operation

Finland’s largest wind power capacity in the country’s northern coast has completed and started trial operation.

According to Finnish media reported 29, this wind power plant is located in the northern town of Tornio in Finland’s coastal areas, where the company built with funds from the

The power stations in 8 groups produced by Siemens wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 28.8 MW, expected to reach 85,000 megawatts of generating capacity, can meet nearly 5,000 common household electricity demand . Early 2011, the wind power station will be officially put into commercial operation.

In recent years, Finland attaches great importance to the use of renewable energy, and actively develop wind power. As of September 2010, the Finnish group has 125 wind turbine operation, the total installed capacity of 170 MW. According to the Finnish government’s energy strategy to 2020, Finland’s wind power capacity each year to reach 600 million MWh.

According to Danish wind energy author Uffe Geertsen

According to Danish wind energy author Uffe Geertsen, the idea of using wind power was inspired by the rural surroundings near the Danish Askov folk high school in the late 19th century where a teacher there, Poul la Cour, developed a hydrogen storage system that could store energy from wind. The power collected was used to electrify the lights in the school and eventually one of la Cour’s students, Johannes Juul, continued the research and created the first modern wind turbine with a capacity of 200 kilowatts at the Danish city of Gedser in 1957.

However it wasn’t until the first oil crisis hit in 1973 that the Danes realised the potential and importance of this new source of energy.

“The Danes realised that the oil-producing countries could politically use their oil to pressure the West,” Geertsen said.

It was from here that the Danish wind power genenerators industry grew.

Although it started as a blacksmith shop on the barren and windswept west coast of Denmark, in the small village of Lem, the company of Vestas is now the world’s leading producer of wind turbines.

It began producing wind turbines in 1978 and by the late 1990s it had over 22.1 percent of the global wind power measured in megawatt.

In 2004, Vestas merged with NEG Micon, Denmark’s second-largest wind turbine maker, to form the world’s largest wind turbine company with the lion’s share of more than 32 percent of the global market.

“Growth and reducing your energy consumption is possible. Since 1980, Denmark has had an increase in its economy by about 80 percent. At the same time, our energy consumption is more or less stable, and our carbon dioxide emissions have also been more or less stable,” Lykke Friis, Denmark’s climate and energy minister, told Xinhua during the Global Green Growth conference held last month in Copenhagen.

“It is possible to do both and that is the core lesson one can learn from Denmark. We need to transform and adapt to more low-carbon growth.”

In 1989, China’s Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Company bought 13 150-kW wind turbines from Denmark. It has since grown into one of the largest wind turbine producers in the world, accounting for 7.2 percent of the world market, a report from consulting house BTM Consult showed.

Vestas opened business in China wind turbines in 2006, and there are currently six production facilities there. In its 2009 annual report, it hailed China’s great potential in wind power development.

It has increased investment in China to more than 3 billion yuan (about $439 million), while China became Vestas’ second largest market worldwide in terms of delivered megawatt capacity in 2010.

Vestas CEO Ditlev Engel recently also called for more small wind turbines policy support for clean energy among the G20 countries to combat climate change and generate more green growth and more green jobs.

“Creating green jobs on a massive scale is a two-way street. Give us the policy frameworks, and we will give you the results. We will make the investment, we will take the risks, and we will create the jobs,” he said.

In China alone, Vestas currently employs more than 2,000 people, and over 20,000 around the world.
