China's wind power equipment plans to enter the international market

Wind power, the new energy industry that is getting hotter and hotter, is gradually becoming the new energy power generation method with the most mature technology and the most developed conditions.

On October 13, 2010 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition opened at the new hall of China International Exhibition Center. From 23 countries, more than 500 well-known wind power equipment manufacturers and wind power technology research and development organizations from home and abroad attended the exhibition.

“In recent years, wind power has developed rapidly with the government’s strong support as a renewable energy source with the most mature technologies, the most extensive development conditions and commercial development prospects. As of the end of last year, it has ranked second in the world, with annual new installed capacity. The capacity is the first in the world, and it will maintain a high degree of development momentum for a long time to come." said Li Junfeng, secretary general of the Renewable Energy Professional Committee of the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association.

He Dexin, director of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Association, said that with the establishment of the wind energy market, China's wind power industry and wind power technology have also been rapidly developed, and the country has actively supported localization and large-scale development of wind power equipment.

"Supporting wind power equipment manufacturing companies through technology introduction, joint development and independent research and development, etc., China's wind power equipment manufacturing capacity has greatly improved, and basically formed a complete machine and parts production system." He Dexin said.

At the same time, domestic manufacturers are getting more confident: breakthroughs have been made in high-power fans. In recent years, wind power has become a popular “new force” in China’s energy investment. However, the power of wind turbines in China is low, and wind turbine manufacturing technology largely depends on the international market.

During the 2010 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition, Huarui Wind Power Technology Co., Ltd., the largest wind turbine manufacturer in China, announced that its independently developed 5 MW wind turbine unit had been officially produced on October 12th, marking China’s high power. Wind turbine development and production has taken a substantial step.

“The 5 MW series of wind turbines we research and develop and put into production includes land, sea and tidal belt series machines. A single 5 MW fan can generate up to 10 million kWh per year, equivalent to saving 4,000 tons of standard coal annually and reducing annual emissions. About 8,000 tons of carbon dioxide," said Yu Jianjun, vice president of Sinovel Wind Power.

According to Huarui Wind Power provided by the newspaper, the company has invested 280 million yuan in the production of 5 megawatt wind turbines at the Jiuquan Industrial Park in Gansu. According to Yu Jianjun, Vice President of Sinovel Wind Power, prior to this, the first phase of the Huarui Wind Power Jiuquan Project had formed large-scale production of 1.5MW and 3MW wind turbines. At present, the second phase of the development and large-scale production of land-based large-scale wind turbines with a capacity of 5 megawatts is under construction. In 2010, the Jiuquan base will implement a 5 MW wind turbine off the assembly line and produce more than 2 million kilowatts of wind turbines.

Prior to this, double-fed technology has been the mainstream technology in the industry and has been widely adopted by major global wind turbine manufacturers including Vestas, Siemens, and Pepowor. At present, the models with gearboxes in global wind turbines account for more than 85% of the market share. In offshore wind turbines with higher requirements for technical level, stability and reliability, all models with gearboxes are used in oil and gas. .

Hua Gang, vice president of wind power Tao Gang introduced high-power wind turbine R & D and manufacturing, is the company's established strategy. With the current trend of large-scale development of international and domestic wind turbines, more efficient wind turbines of 5 megawatts and more will become mainstream models for the next generation, and are widely used in land, sea, and intertidal zones. Environment and wind conditions in different wind resource conditions. "In the first half of next year, Sinovel Wind 6MW wind turbines will also go offline." Tao Gang said.

The reporter was informed that Gemeiyu, the global leader in wind turbine manufacturing and wind farm development, announced on October 14 that it had signed new cooperation agreements with Datang Renewable Energy, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Wind Power Co., Ltd. and Henan Witt Wind Power Co., Ltd. The three companies delivered 146 MW G90 fans and 105 MW G58 fans.

“The rapidly developing Chinese wind energy industry is about to become our largest market. It is critical for us and its future development. We are increasing our investment in the Chinese market and helping China develop sustainable wind energy resources. Trusted permanent partner,” said George’s chairman Jorge Calvet.

After entering the international arena: China's wind turbine manufacturers, which are experiencing rapid growth in the oversupply of the domestic market, are planning to enter the international market.

Han Junliang, chairman and president of Sinovel Wind Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. disclosed to the reporter that Huarui Wind Power's future overseas market's turnover exceeds 30% of the company's total revenue, and strives to reach 50%.

“We will be committed to achieving the internationalization of four dimensions of technology, market, capital, and human resources. It is estimated that overseas business revenue will account for about 30% of the company's total revenue in the next 3 to 5 years.” Director of Goldwind Technology Co., Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Wu Gang said.

It is not only Hua Rui and Jin Feng who are ambitious in overseas markets.

Feng Xinping, chairman of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment Co., Ltd., predicts that its overseas business will account for about 20% of the company's revenue in 2011; Zhan Liang, general manager of Sany Electric Co., Ltd.'s international marketing company also revealed that the long-term planning of the international market share will account for Sany Electric's entire market share is 30%.

After companies have expanded overseas, or the Chinese wind power market, where the growth rate has slowed down, can no longer meet the “mad long” demands of local companies.

An official from the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration told reporters that this year's domestic new wind power capacity is about 10 million kilowatts. This means that since 2004, the absolute value of new installed capacity in China's wind power industry will drop for the first time. The growth rate will drop from 100% to 40% for the first time.

In fact, because the “staking their claims” on land-based high-quality wind resources has come to an end, the bottleneck of wind power grid-connected networks will be difficult to eliminate in the short term. The industry generally expects that from this year onwards, new installed capacity of domestic wind power will fall back sharply, and the wind power industry will grow rapidly. The stage has entered a stage of steady development.

However, the local wind turbine manufacturing industry, which has taken a dominant position in the domestic market and its production capacity continues to expand, does not intend to stop the pace of rapid expansion.

"After the financial crisis, all countries have vigorously advocated the development of new energy, and there is a broader market abroad," said Jiang Qian, chief investigator of China Investment Advisor New Energy Industry. "It is an inevitable trend that China's wind turbines are going global and going global."

Among the many local wind power equipment manufacturers, Sinovel Wind Power has developed rapidly in offshore wind power. Previously, it was the equipment supplier for the Shanghai Donghai Bridge Wind Farm Project. In the first round of offshore wind power concession project opened on October 8th, China Rui also got two projects. Tao Gang told reporters that in the next five years, the installed capacity of offshore wind turbines will increase by more than 100%. "We are still looking at markets that are relatively mature in Europe or North America, Australia and South America," Tao Gang told reporters in an interview.
