Japan’s wind power technology is backward country. Japan, 80 from the last century began construction of wind power generation equipment, wind power capacity in 1990, only 3,000 kilowatts to 17,000 kilowatts by the end of 1997. To March 1999, Japan’s total wind power 77, power generation capacity of 31,000 kilowatts. Japan’s goal is to wind power capacity by 2010 to 30 million kilowatts.

Integrated trading company Tomen Corporation was the first in the field of wind power started commercial production: In the overseas, namely in the United States, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and other European countries in building 5 56.5 million kilowatts of wind turbine generator equipment; in Japan, Tomen the company imported from Denmark in 1998 20 sets of power each, and 1,000 kW wind power generation equipment, is the “Wind State” said the former town of Hokkaido bamboo brush for utensils thatch build large-scale wind power plant, by the end of November 2010 put into operation. It’s the price per unit of 11.6 yen to the production of electricity sold to Hokkaido Electric Power Company. This power plant total investment of 45 billion yen. The company in 2010 under the North Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture and then building to 60,000 kilowatts of total installed capacity of 7 million kilowatts of wind power equipment. Including some overseas, including, Tomen Corporation intends to build capacity is 100 MW plant as the world’s largest wind power company.

Mie God living in the original wooden wind generators, built in the famous outlet “take winding mountain” on a total of four sets of power generation equipment, each power output of 750 kilowatts, a total installed capacity of 3,000 kilowatts, is the largest wind power plant in Japan the annual power generation of about 800 million degrees, 2,400 for the local residents. Construction of this wind power station of about 1 billion yen investment.

According to analysis of wind power in Japan lags behind the cause of several reasons: First, government regulations restricting non-power industry involved in the power industry; Secondly, wind power electricity production costs than the other high; third, power station construction by the terrain , topography effects — no wind Department can not build, and power generation equipment is also affected by wind speed and other natural conditions, wind speed less than 3 meters per second or higher than 25 meters, power generation equipment difficult to operate; fourth, perhaps the biggest reasons, Japan’s wind resources and is not rich. According to calculations, the Japanese land-based wind generation capacity to meet domestic electricity demand up to 1% to 4%.

In contrast, the economic benefits of windmill generators difference. Therefore, the use of the cheap imports of oil for Japan, of course, wind power will not be a positive development and popularization of the object. Also the same reason, the wind power technology, Japan is also far from Europe and the United States.
