13 七 11 China has grown into a global power in renewable energy

With Japan looking to hedge its bets on nuclear energy by exploring other renewable energy sources, Chinese companies are eagerly vying for a seat at the table, anteing up its leadership in wind and solar power technology.

While Japan has built 54 nuclear reactors, China has grown into a global power in renewable energy, although its domestic market is fraught with problems. China also has 13 nuclear reactors and is building 28 more.

Top manufacturers such as Goldwind Science and Technology Co. and Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. are looking to break into the Japanese market as wind turbine generator and solar power gets renewed attention following the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

The Chinese government has committed public funds to improving the international competitiveness of manufacturers of renewable energy facilities.

The government adopted a policy of encouraging the use of local products until it was abolished in February in the face of criticism from the United States, who felt it was giving an unfair advantage to Chinese firms. Goldwind Science and Technology has produced 7,800 wind turbines, or triple the number installed in Japan, since it was established 13 years ago.

The company, based in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, ranks among the world’s five top makers of wind power generation facilities.

It has accumulated technologies by acquiring a German company and now exports to the United States.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co., a major wind generator manufacturer of solar panels established in 1987, has increased its presence in European markets, working with a German partner.

The company, based in Baoding, Hebei province, operates offices in the United States, Germany, France, Italy and other countries.

Its credo is to provide “green energy affordable to the home wind turbines public.” To raise its profile, the company has become an official sponsor for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, following upon its sponsorship of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

07 六 11 The internationalization of China’s wind power how far the road?

The just-concluded U.S. wind energy wind power development companies in China once again stage a show of strength. Including the industry ranked first in China, the world’s second wind turbine R & D, manufacturing Sinovel, a large number of Chinese wind power equipment wind turbines manufacturers and component production showcasing their latest models and products. Being in China, the world’s largest wind power market, based on China’s wind power development, manufacturing and supporting more and more companies began eyeing the international market.

“From a market point of view, the next few years China’s installed windmill power capacity growth will slow, while maintaining the absolute leading position in the Chinese market, while overseas markets for Sinovel is a good choice.” Huarui Tao, senior vice president of wind just told Xinhua in an interview.

According to Chinese Wind Energy Association in March this year, “issued by China’s wind power installed capacity in 2010 Statistics” report, 2010, China added 12,904 units installed wind turbine installed capacity of 18,927.99 MW, up 37.1% year on year; cumulative installed wind turbine 34,485 units, installed capacity of 44,733.29 MW, up 73.3% year on year, continues to rank first in the world.

China’s rapid development of wind power market spawned a large number of wind power equipment manufacturers, also makes the domestic wind power market, competition has become increasingly intense. Ping An Securities Analysis recently released a report has pointed out that domestic wind power machine manufacturing sector has nearly a hundred companies, with domestic growth of wind power installed capacity of wind power machine manufacturer into a “Red Sea” , the increasingly fierce price war has begun to affect corporate profitability. In this market context, opening up new growth market has become the major turbine wind generator  manufacturers an important strategy for further development.

Tao Gang, from improved profit margins considerations, such as Sinovel strength of the wind power companies have to enter the overseas market is essential. In recent years, domestic prices fell faster fan, the industry average profit margin is low. In some developed countries abroad, especially wind power market, the fan industry profit margins are generally higher, which sharply with China with a strong research and development of wind power capacity of such enterprises is a very broad market growth.

It is understood that Sinovel construction in India of 10 1.5 MW vertical wind turbines and wind power generation has been successful for over a year; 3 MW series wind turbine by the Germanischer Lloyd (GL ) design certification, product performance, quality, service and other aspects of the local market acceptance; April, after attending the European Wind Energy Exhibition, Sinovel and Greece signed a wind power company PPC generation cooperation agreement in Greece establishment of 300 MW installed capacity of 200 and an offshore wind farm wind farm and wind turbine in Greece to establish production bases, according to estimates, the total co-operation up to 4.5 billion euros.

“In China wind power market competition, size and experience we have accumulated more profound.” Tao Gang told reporters, through years of operation, Sinovel has accumulated a wealth of plant operation and maintenance experience in the low wind speed, high altitude, extreme cold and other extreme conditions of the wind field experience running particularly prominent, these advantages will undoubtedly improve their international competitiveness.

Is not only a machine manufacturer, the wind power industry chain as other Chinese companies to target the international market. Also participated in the development of the American Wind Energy wind turbine blades Sinoma Technology Co., Ltd. Deputy General Manager Wang Xin told reporters, with the machine manufacturers to accelerate the speed of internationalization, leaf production enterprises should also speed up the pace to go out to meet the China’s wind power business as a whole the pace of internationalization.

However, although wind power enterprises in China have “exploiting the boundary” and ambition, but the existing technology, costs and policy bottlenecks still can not be ignored.

Luoyang Bearing Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Deputy General Manager Wang Jinghua told reporters that as a major wind turbine components, the current Los axis has been the production of large bearings can replace the similar products in Europe and America and other countries, and has achieved considerable market share the tradition of breaking the monopoly of European and American companies. However, in the manufacture of precision bearings and small R & D gap between U.S. and European companies are still and seek technological breakthroughs, enhance independent innovation capability of Chinese enterprises is the key to internationalization.

Tao Gang, as current domestic machine manufacturers a home wind turbines comprehensive industrial base mainly in the country, taking into account the problem of transportation costs, companies need to be more international industrial layout. In addition, how the layout of enterprises in the domestic production capacity advantage of the strengths and services abroad and adapt to the challenges of the policy environment, also is China’s wind power companies to go out on the road need to make efforts to solve the problem.
