24 一 12 US investigation into exports of wind turbines towers
he Chinese government has hit back against a US investigation into exports of wind turbines towers, warning that the escalating trade spat runs counter to global efforts to curb carbon emissions and could damage clean-energy co-operation between the two countries.
The US Commerce Department announced last week that it will respond to a complaint by a group of American wind turbine tower manufacturers over low-cost towers imported from China and Vietnam by launching a formal probe into whether the imports breach trade rules.
However, China’s Ministry of Commerce responded immediately, issuing a statement on its website in which it criticised the investigation and offered a thinly veiled threat that China could take retaliatory action if the US government imposes import tariffs.
“This investigation will not only be harmful to the development of Sino-US new-energy cooperation; it will harm the interests of the US industry, and is not in line with global efforts on climate change and energy security,” it said.
The ministry also urged the US to stand by commitments made at the G20 to avoid introducing new protectionist measures.
However, some critics maintain that the generous subsidies and preferential treatment the Chinese government offers many of its clean-tech firms amount to unfair competition.
China’s reaction to the new probe almost precisely mirrors its initial reaction to news wind generator last year that the US would investigate whether imports of solar technologies are in line with World Trade Organisation rules.
Chinese officials escalated the row last November by announcing they would launch their own investigation into the level of subsidy the US government has provided its domestic clean-energy firms.
“The Ministry of Commerce has decided to initiate a trade barrier investigation into policy support and subsidies for the US renewable energy sector,” it said in a statement, adding that US policies “constitute a trade barrier against the export of Chinese renewable energy products to the United States” and “ small wind turbines violated the United States’ commitments under World Trade Organisation rules, and are an unreasonable barrier and restriction on China’s renewable energy industry, reducing the competitiveness of Chinese products in the US market”.

14 一 12 Windmill power through the “Great Leap Forward” of development
Wind power industry into an unprecedented low. Windmill power through the “Great Leap Forward” of development, industry profits have fallen sharply, Sinovel, Goldwind, Hunan Electric shares net profit decreased by 48.3%, 45.0% and 43%, wind power accessories and Thailand win business wind net profit fell 61.5%, a number of small wind power enterprises have closed down.
‘Beware of overheating investment in wind power turbines equipment industry! “National Energy Board new and renewable energy Shi Lishan, deputy director of the first warning.
Subsequently, the state departments issued a document also pointed out that wind power equipment to strictly control the blind expansion of production capacity, but it was too late, has launched a large number of projects can not stop now.
Blind expansion led to excess capacity, excess capacity led to price wars, intensified the price war for some companies to reduce costs while ignoring product quality, the result is more than a year in the short period of time saw a number of fans and even off-grid collapse.
Conversely, frequent accidents caused by wind power the state to strengthen the regulation of wind power, wind power equipment market needs a substantial decline at the same time, its product quality standards are more stringent, and coupled with wind power equipment industry for the removal of subsidies , and let the wind power equipment industry is worse. We can say that wind power industry through the “Great Leap Forward”, the industry is currently in the depth of winter.
Of course, that wind power “Great Leap Forward” refers to its rapid development, resulting in not only on the number of quality, efficiency is not high frequency of accidents, not to say that China wind turbine generaotor does not need wind electricity. In contrast, although China has abundant wind energy resources, but the utilization rate is unusually low. Public data shows that China’s wind power installed capacity in India is only 3 / 4, Germany 1 / 4. No doubt, to develop wind power is still the state established goals and direction.
2012, when the “second five” first year, according to the 2015 and 2020, the size of China’s wind power capacity was 100 million kilowatts and 180 million kilowatts.

03 一 12 determine who will develop the wind farms
This year the Government has moved further forward in exploiting the potential offshore. In January it introduced offshore regulations, confirming that projects will be allocated via a state concession tendering process to determine who will develop the wind farms, as well as the price to be paid for the power generated. Under the regulation, only majority Chinese-owned ventures can undertake offshore wind project development.
The NEA issued the first tender call in May. This invited bids to develop four pilot projects totalling 1 GW in Jiangsu, with the results due to be announced in September. Two of the projects, Dafeng and Dongtai, are inter-tidal. Both will be 200 MW in capacity. The other two, Binhai and Sheyang, classified as fully offshore, will be 300 MW each.
Representing an expected investment of CNY20 billion and with expectations high that a further tender for another 5 GW is likely to be issued within the next few years, there has been a flurry of interest and activity from developers and equipment suppliers alike. China’s leading wind turbine generator developer, China Longyuan Power Group, is one of the known bidders in the 1 GW tender, while other domestic giants like Guangdong and China Power Investment Corporation are also expected to be contenders.
Longyuan has also set up an offshore wind turbines manufacturing 50:50 joint venture (JV) in Nantong City, Jiangsu, in partnership with Zhenhua Heavy Industry Company. The new venture, called Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering Company, will focus on the manufacturing of small wind turbines and installation of steel structures, while also offering full construction, installation and maintenance services for offshore wind farms, including the provision of foundation systems and subsea cables.

22 十二 11 Italy launched high-altitude kite wind generator
Over the past decade, wind has gradually developed into a major alternative energy, and be promoted worldwide. But the traditional wind power and wind speed by site factors such as larger, has many shortcomings. To this end, the Italian KiteGen technology companies eyeing the high-altitude wind energy, and developed a new MARS (Magenn AirRotor System) system.
MARS system not only has the advantages of high wind power generation efficiency, and the space and the area is also very small. In general, a generating capacity of 1000 MW of conventional wind power plants in the occupied area of between 250-300 square kilometers, and KiteGen technology companies claim to use the MARS system for power plants using only 5-6 square kilometers the area can achieve the same power capacity.
MARS system consists of high-altitude towing kites and ground power equipment of two parts. Towing kite and wind turbines connected to the ground and through the power generation equipment installed in the air on a kite rotation sensors to control the direction and path, in order to maximize the driving wind turbines spin and generate electricity. KiteGen said that although the system is still in the wind generators testing phase, but the prospects are very bright. Compared with the conventional wind power generation, MARS system has unparalleled advantages: It can be obtained from a stable high-altitude wind energy. The higher the kite flying high, as the average wind speed the greater the higher the efficiency of power generation, while the traditional wind turbines up to the average height is only 100 meters.
Moreover, according to company estimates KiteGen, MARS system per kilowatt hour of electricity costs about $ 0.02 to $ 0.05 per kilowatt hour of energy and fossil power generation cost between $ 0.05 to $ 0.09, compared with the traditional cost of wind power plants $ 0.15.
Mao by the MARS system by Bo Lite Mason (MassimoIppolito) invention. He then set up in 2007 KiteGen Technologies, headquartered in Italy eccentric. Currently, the home wind power generator system is further improved, the relevant standard operating procedures are developed. The company hopes to obtain sufficient funds to develop the first complete model.

18 十二 11 Wind energy in Britain already employs more than 10,000 people
German engineering company Siemens submitted a planning application to build a wind turbines manufacturer factory in Hull, UK, which would create a potential 700 jobs upon its opening in 2014, the company said on Tuesday.
Wind energy in Britain already employs more than 10,000 people full time, and lobby group RenewablesUK expects that to rise to 90,000 over the next 10 years.
“We are very pleased that another significant milestone in the project has been achieved, and we look forward to discussing plans further with the wind turbine generator local community during the consultation process,” said Siemens project manager Dan McGrail.
Renewable energy offers significant potential job growth for Britain over the coming decades, with wind and other renewables such as marine energy providing numerous direct jobs, along with even more supporting workers in the supply chain.
The Carbon Trust, an independent government-backed advisory group, said that wave energy had the potential to add 16,000 direct industry jobs by 2040.
Manufacturers are increasingly targeting Britain as the UK government earmarks millions of pounds for adapting Britain’s ports for renewable energy infrastructure.

15 十二 11 European onshore wind power generators market
Europe is the world pioneer in wind power development and technology standard-setter, Denmark, Germany, Spain, the strength of the particularly strong. According to the European Wind Energy Association’s statistics, the European wind turbine manufacturers in the European domestic market share up to 89%. After 20 years of development, the European onshore wind power generators market is already very mature, basic saturation. With the German Wind Energy Association (German Wind Energy Association) main Perth (Hermann Albers), then, the German land-based wind turbine has been “a little crowded,” the.
On the other hand, Germany’s onshore wind power market is still facing a new round of growth, the focus is not only the development of new small wind turbines farm, but the replacement (repowering) over or near existing operating life (15 years -20 years) old-fashioned fan. To encourage fan replacement, the German government in 2009, “German Renewable Energy Act” (German Renewable Energies Act) was amended, operators get 0.5 euro cents per kilowatt-hour replacement incentive. This is limited to land development and utilization in the case, by updating the existing fan to produce more electricity.
According to the German Wind Energy Institute (German Wind Energy Institute) statistics, in 2010 Germany had a total of 56 116 MW of wind turbines were removed, replaced by a total of 80 183 megawatts of new generating units. Replacement in the next few years will continue to increase. Currently, most wind turbine manufacturers in Germany for the onshore wind power development to a minimum 1.5-megawatt wind turbine, the largest up to 3.5 MW.
This wind turbine manufacturers is a huge opportunity. However, the “New Century” with Germany in exchange of some of the industry, the majority of people of Chinese wind turbine manufacturers entering the field are not good.
German Federal Department of Trade and Investment Renewable Energy Resources Project Manager with good Corti Anne Broughton Farm (Anne Bräutigam) that the German onshore wind power market has been very mature, operators and manufacturers have also established close co-operation and marketing relationships. The key is, as banks in providing loans to developers, requiring the developer to choose through the certification authority and have a good track record of running the (tracking record) manufacturers, and the Chinese wind turbine manufacturers lack adequate qualifications and certification to run record, it is difficult to be recognized.
Many people like to use Chinese enterprises in the export of solar photovoltaic panels to do the comparison, that the Chinese fans will follow suit – China’s current exports of solar photovoltaic products, international markets accounted for 70% to 80%. In this regard, the German Wind Energy Association’s “New Energy” magazine editor Hanna Mei pointed out that solar and home wind turbines market is completely different, the two can not be a simple analogy.
