What are the Disadvantages of Wind Power?

Wind power is the conversion of the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. Wind energy is a clean and pollution-free renewable energy source. It has been used by people for a long time, mainly by pumping water and grinding the surface with windmills. Now people are interested in how to use wind to generate electricity.

China has abundant wind energy resources. The wind energy reserves that can be developed and used are about 1 billion kW. Among them,

Wind power market situation

Wind energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is receiving increasing attention from countries around the world. Its reserves are huge. The global wind energy is about 2.74 × 109MW, of which the available wind energy is 2 × 107MW, which is 10 times larger than the total amount of water energy that can be developed and used on the earth. China's wind energy reserves are large and widely distributed, with only 253 million kilowatts of wind energy reserves on land alone.

With the development of the global economy, the wind energy market has also developed rapidly. Since 2004, the global wind power capacity has doubled, and from 2006 to 2007, the global wind power generation capacity increased by 27%. There were 90,000 megawatts in 2007, and that number will be 160,000 megawatts by 2010. The world's wind energy market is expected to increase by 25% annually in the next 20-25 years. With the advancement of technology and the development of environmental protection, wind power generation will be fully competitive with coal-fired power generation.

Wind Power China Market

During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, China's grid-connected wind power has developed rapidly. In 2006, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China has reached 2.6 million kilowatts, becoming one of the main markets for the development of wind power after Europe, the United States and India. In 2007, the scale of China's wind power industry continued to grow explosively. As of the end of 2007, the country's cumulative installed capacity was about 6 million kilowatts. In August 2008, China's total installed wind power capacity reached 7 million kilowatts, accounting for 1% of China's total installed power generation capacity, ranking fifth in the world, which also means that China has entered the ranks of major renewable energy countries.

Since 2008, the upsurge of domestic wind power construction has reached a feverish level. In 2009, China (excluding Taiwan) added 10,129 wind turbines with a capacity of 13803.2MW, an increase of 124% year-on-year; a total of 21,581 wind turbines were installed with a capacity of 25805.3MW. In 2009, 37 new wind turbines were added in Taiwan, with a capacity of 77.9MW; a total of 227 wind turbines were installed, with a capacity of 436.05MW.

Regional development of wind power

From the perspective of the development of various regions, as of December 31, 2009, China had more than 9 provinces with a cumulative installed wind power of more than 1,000MW, including 4 provinces with more than 2000MW, namely Inner Mongolia (9196.2MW), Hebei (2788.1MW), Liaoning (2425.3MW) and Jilin (2063.9MW). Inner Mongolia newly installed 5545.2MW in 2009, with a cumulative installed capacity of 9196.2MW, achieving a substantial increase of 150%. ^[1]

Wind power wind power prospects

China's new energy strategy has begun to focus on vigorously developing wind power. According to the national plan, the installed capacity of wind power generation nationwide will reach 20-30 million kilowatts in the next 15 years. Based on the investment of 7,000 yuan per kilowatt of installed capacity equipment, according to the "Wind Energy World" magazine, the future wind power equipment market will reach 140 billion to 210 billion yuan.

The development prospects of China's wind power and other new energy power generation industries are very broad. It is expected that they will maintain high-speed development for a long time to come. At the same time, profitability will also steadily increase as the technology matures. After 2009, the total profit of the industry will maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate will also reach more than 60%.

Wind power has developed to the current stage, and its cost performance is forming a competitive advantage with coal power and hydropower. The advantage of wind power is that each time the capacity is doubled, the cost is reduced by 15%. In recent years, the growth of wind power in the world has been maintained at more than 30%. With the localization of China s wind power installed capacity and the scale of power generation, the cost of wind power is expected to fall again. As a result, wind power has become a gold pit for more and more investors.

It is understood that due to sufficient wind energy resources in Tory County, as the state continues to increase its support for the development of clean energy, batches of large-scale wind power projects have settled in Tori County, accelerating the construction of wind power bases. ^[1]
