One side is the rising tide of new energy investments, while it is a massive clean energy grid can not be wasted; as a rich space for development of new industries in recent years has caused a lot of questions … …, experienced a growth spurt years China’s wind power generator industry, began to appear a lot of confusion and tangled, the development of China’s wind power is not winding path puzzle.
In 2005, “Renewable Energy Law” was promulgated specifically to support wind power and other new energy industries. In the supporting policies support large-scale wind power generators development in China started, and to cause raspberry wind speed became the world TV state.
Similar to other industries, China’s wind power development can not avoid refined to have contracted the development – Governance – further development of the industry with Chinese characteristics ills. In 2009 by the ministries as wind power industries with excess capacity, the public did have to wind power is “crazy” point of view to allocating public opinion.
However, wind power is really hopeless disease yet? Reporters interviewed on issues related to China’s wind power expert, honorary chairman of the China Electrotechnical Society Mr. Zhou Heliang.
Zhou Heliang first attributed to the current small wind turbines development in China a few prominent contradictions:
First, wind power is difficult
At present wind power has become China’s wind power industry, the outstanding bottleneck. Determine the characteristics of wind power turbines is difficult to maintain the stability of its load, but can not synchronize with the power load changes, there must be other wind power commitment to adapt to changes in load demands, to increase power generation capacity adjustment, peak shaving capability and storage capacity, which requires optimization of the power structure, increasing investment and operation of pumped storage units, to increase the scale of construction peaking power. “Therefore, the development of wind power development plan to enter a whole, Canada
Construction of large power input. ”
In addition, to strengthen the research and forecast wind. Now, the country has built 400 wind towers. “But this is not enough, the research on wind energy laws should be further strengthened,” Zhou Heliang that “to build wind power prediction and forecasting system, wind power and grid companies to promote cooperation and coordination.” In addition, Zhou Heliang stressed that ” countries to access power assessment, not evaluation capacity. Yinwei installed easy, and the net hard. “Once the Internet power to as targets, the State of all aspects of the unit to be an incentive to boost the enthusiasm, including the wind farm, grid companies, particular grid. “Because wind power, mainly rely on grid companies to promote.”
Wind energy resource-rich areas now, most of the local grid system is small, electric load Shao, pairs of wind power consumption is satisfied Nenglibuzu, which Kanchuwoguo cross-network interconnection small-scale, Li Yu wind power in a larger scope Xiao Na. To solve this problem, the key is to increase the intensity of cross-network construction.
Zhou Heliang that the development of wind power to the grid and network synchronization with both non-development, the formation of diversified, balanced development pattern. In the wind energy resource-rich areas, construction of wind power base, building a large network, but also small and medium sized wind farm construction according to local conditions, to meet the remote and inaccessible areas of the electricity demand.
Secondly, the whole plant overcapacity
At present, many domestic fans machine china wind generators manufacturers, the National Family Style electric machine assembly has been hundreds, manufacturers, and the market share of 60% of the total concentrated in the gold wind, sharp and East China gas in the hands, the three-year domestic available production enterprises with more than 2 million kW, and the remaining 40% of the market share of family property to lower the machine nearly a hundred works by intense competition.
To prevent redundant construction, the Ministry of Industry in March 2010 issued a wind power equipment manufacturers access to draft standards to improve the access threshold for wind power equipment, reduce excess capacity. Meanwhile, National Grid is also studying the development of relevant technical standards and network specifications. In this regard, Zhou Heliang that reduce excess capacity should aim at capacity, more importantly, to improve equipment quality, performance, level of direction.
Third, the equipment reliability issues highlighted
Strong support in recent years in policy, through the introduction of technology, China has basically mastered the megawatt-class wind turbine manufacturing technology, has formed blades, gearboxes, generators and control systems and other major components of the wind power equipment industry chain, but Since most wind power company, heavy manufacturing, light innovation, re-introduction of light absorption, the key of wind power equipment and core technology subject to foreign, independent innovation capacity of wind power technology into weakness, equipment quality, especially the quality of key components Urgent increase. Coupled with the rapid development of China’s wind power industry, launched a large number of fans rushed the equipment from the research and development to the actual running time is shortened, so that lack of preparation as a result of R & D fan is running a series of problems emerged.
Zhou Heliang that equipment reliability issues will affect the development of large wind power in China worry that China’s wind power equipment manufacturers need to focus on wind power main and auxiliary machine optimization and matching, to improve equipment reliability to make a great effort.
Fourth, public technical service system lags behind
Years of wind power in the context of rapid growth, most businesses Jizhong the device Zhi Zao, Er Wind Power Industry R & D platform and public services Ti Xi Ji Shu Mei You industry is far from the pace of development of effective production, and research integrated technology R & D system still in a primitive being. Zhou Heliang, said wind power industry, public technical service system is a national act, by the government to lead.
In this regard, Zhou Heliang made the following recommendations: improve the standard system (including the key components and common parts), perfect quality certification system, the motor must be load test, leaves must be static and dynamic fatigue test, must be analog converter test , simulation and real load test; establishment of the South, the North Wind national test, mandatory for new fans to live life test; set up research and innovation platform – National Wind Technology Center, to accelerate the process of absorption and innovation ; learn from the Netherlands kM mode, the key components of wind power generator to establish national testing center; establishment of a national monitoring center fan operation time to collect wind speed, temperature fluctuations, humidity, power failure, power consumption data; establishment of a national wind energy information center, complete information statistical system, the authority for issuing notice; the full development of wind power professionals, including wind power design, process and installation, commissioning, operation and management personnel at all levels of technology development, management, operations and senior skilled workers to address the talent shortage of wind power.
Fifth, the wind power technical services required to develop
“We now have a wind power industry, the obvious question, is the wind generators farm’s operation and management level is too low, mostly attention to wind power installed capacity building, the expense of running.” Zhou Heliang visited a number of wind farms, he found “To maintain, repair capability, or maintenance, management capabilities are not keep up.”
Zhou Heliang recommended to explore the formation of professional and technical services operation of wind power company, the establishment of regional wind power plant and wind farm maintenance parts library, the development of modern wind power technology services. This is similar to the field of real estate property management, specifically with professional property management companies provide the owners with a full range of social service.
Sixth, be careful to promote offshore wind power
Now, offshore wind power is becoming a new favorite in the field of wind power in China. Although offshore wind power with wind energy resources are very stable and do not take up land resources, the advantages of minimal environmental impact. However, compared to land-based wind power, the offshore wind farm building is not only large investment and high technical difficulty, but also faces the sea ice, a series of typhoons and the risks of uncontrollable factors.
“China’s first offshore wind development on the face of technology, equipment and project development experience, reliability constraints,” said Zhou Heliang develop offshore wind power in China, or novice, need to be treated with caution. In the conditions allow, you can give priority to the development from the load center near offshore wind resource conditions are particularly good demonstration project. At the same time, once decided to develop, enhance the development of an appropriate scale should be possible, using the country’s most mature technology and equipment. Offshore wind power investment is 2.5 times the land wind, and offshore wind power equipment maintenance costs high, thus requiring offshore wind power machine equipment must have high reliability to be guaranteed.
Zhou Heliang emphasized that windmill power as a new industry, will inevitably have some problems, but this is the industrial development process itself, the problem is the way forward in the conflict, because these problems must not be unworthy, the negative role in development of wind power and significance.
Zhou Heliang analysis, wind power industry also need 3 to 5 years to enter into maturity. Mature stage was marked by conflicts over access to basic solution, there is no obvious contradiction. “Another important indicator of the mature stage is a fan run time can be in more than 2000h,” Zhou Heliang, the “wind farm in the country is now about 1 / 4 of the wind turbine is idle, the utilization rate of less than ideal requirements. according to several typical wind farm is estimated that annual operating at 1800h fans around, only profit, loss of wind power can not always, or else there would be no development potential. ”
“These are all a process, these five years, we have solved MW of wind power the problem from scratch,” Zhou Heliang finally stressed that “the next stage, we will address the optimization of wind power turbines development. As long as we gradually and steady development of wind power, to avoid big ups and downs, wind power industry will weather a new strategy to achieving the national goal of energy saving a major force.
