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.

08 十二 11 China’s cumulative carbon emissions
The chief economist of the International Energy Agency said China will be the leader in small wind turbines clean-tech products by 2030 but it simply won’t be enough to cut down on its carbon emissions.
“China will be the champion of wind turbine smanufacturers wind and solar products as well as electric vehicles in 20 years,” said the IEA’s Fatih Birol. “China is making great efforts in clean energy and experimental carbon caps in many provinces, a move we do not see in many places in the world.”
China recently laid out a plan to control greenhouse gas emissions in the coming five years with a goal of cutting 17 percent for each unit of GDP by 2015 from 2010 levels. The 17-percent goal has been localized to provincial governments and to certain industries.
But despite China’s efforts to cut greenhouse gases, the country’s energy demand will continue to grow at an incredible pace. China and India are expected to contribute 50 percent of growth to emerging markets, whose energy demand is expected to spike, Birol said.
China’s cumulative carbon emissions will overtake the European Union in 2035 as the world’s second-largest emitter after the United States, according to the IEA’s estimates. Cumulative CO2 emissions are the total CO2 emissions of a country, region or group during a specific time span. The US, EU and China are the world’s top emitters.
China has been making strides in improving its clean energy industries; renewable energy is one of China’s seven strategic industries. The country is aiming for home wind generator industries in clean energy to push for 15-percent market share of energy industries in the nation by 2020.
China’s wind turbine generator manufacturers — Sinovel and Xinjiang Goldwind — ranked among the world’s four largest by market share in 2010, according to the BTM consulting. Sinovel and Xinjiang Goldwind may overtake Denmark’s Vestas Wind Systems A/S, the world’s biggest supplier, by 2015, according to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance report.

05 十二 11 China has achieved nearly 40 million kilowatt wind power generation capacity
China has achieved nearly 40 million kilowatt wind power generation capacity, and the figure is expected to double by 2015, a new report has said.
According to China’s State Electricity Regulatory Commission report, wind turbines in China generated 58.3 billion kilowatt-hours, which was an increase of 57 percent year-on-year, accounting for 1.5 percent of the nation’s total electricity output.
The report said 486 wind power stations were operating across China by August 2011, and the country had world’s biggest 39.24 million kilowatts of installed power generation capacity, the Xinhua news agency reports.
It is estimated that China has 2.38 billion kilowatt wind power resources on land, and about 200 million kilowatts offshore. (A
30 十一 11 Average daily windmill generator power output of 6 kw
Yesterday, in the town who set foot Village, the reporter saw a roof to install seven solar panels, next to a windmill. “Through their day’s work, people will be able to supply a 24-hour power consumption.” The party leader Daw project, said that wind and solar home systems and grid investment of $ 150,000, installed capacity of 3 kW, by the wind turbines, solar plate, controller lightning, wind turbines and solar controller, inverter and electric meters and smart composition. Solar electric and wind power development of the electricity through the machine into a 220 volt AC supply for home use.
It is understood that the system put into operation last month, since the transmission grid has about 300 kilowatt hours of clean electricity, the average daily windmill generator power output of 6 kwh.
“The wind blow, sun drying, the family’s power consumption will not have to worry.” Mr. Du said, with wind or solar power alone, will be affected by seasonal and weather factors, and the wind and a good solution to this the problem.
Internet to sell excess electricity to power company
Yinzhou District Power Supply Bureau, the official said, wind, solar and other new energy generation there is often a case of voltage instability, more difficult access to the grid, while the smart grid is a good solution and network security and technical issues critical to ensure family continuity and reliability of supply. For example, due to the higher voltage required for starting air, so when start the air conditioner, the smart grid will automatically switch to the grid, using grid electricity; when the air is stable, the smart grid will automatically switch back to using solar energy, wind energy the electricity. If there is surplus electricity sent, two-way smart meters can also be uploaded to the grid and sell power company.
Costs are high, there are still difficulties to enter the family
“Small Wind power generators now costs still relatively high, into the family very difficult.” Mr. Du also admitted that the current small-scale wind and solar for power generation is still in the experimental stage, the purpose of the equipment to do is to test the technology of distributed power is mature, smart grid and grid test the feasibility. Results show that there is no problem.
It is understood that the promotion of new energy at home and abroad often take subsidies. But for small wind turbines and small wind and solar power generation, the country has not subsidized. “However, as technology development, product upgrades of equipment and materials to reduce the cost of ordinary people at home fitted with a small wind and solar power generation system is not a dream.” Yinzhou Power Supply Bureau, a source said.

26 十一 11 U.S. researchers have developed high-altitude wind turbines
U.S. researchers have developed high-altitude wind turbines called “Alto Rose” (Altaeros). The generator looks like a turbine engine aircraft under the wing, but the former is to produce energy, which consumes energy. Since there is no power, then the “Alto Rose” How can floating in the air it? It turned out that a pneumatic generator. Generator is cylindrical outer bag, which is full of helium is much lighter than air, so that it can be suspended in the air. Thus, this generator is also known as balloon generator. Some people worry that the wind turbine generator will affect aviation safety air bag, in fact, it just is not particularly close to the airport from the aircraft would not be affected because of its suspension height can be 50 to be adjusted within the range of 3,000 meters, near the airport can be installed too low a number.
Airbag power generator wind turbine components and the ground is no different, mainly with a few blades of a turbine. When the high-altitude wind is blowing, when pushing the turbine rotation, electric power is produced. Have a slender wire connected with the generator, power transmission along the wire to the ground. Rod fixed to the ground with wind turbines, this kind of high-altitude small wind turbine design that can move at any time. Generator is very convenient retractable airbags, a person can easily retractable. If you do not need such a place wind turbines, the pulling of a wire, as close as kites can easily pull the generator on the ground. Then, let go of the helium balloon, the balloon folded, the generator can easily be transported to other needed areas.

18 十一 11 Develop windmill power and related industries
In recent years, Denmark and the full use of regional resources, to develop wind power and related industries, has achieved remarkable results. At present, Denmark has built hundreds of onshore wind farms and a number of large offshore wind farm Danish Energy Agency data show that 2010, total installed capacity of wind turbines in Denmark has reached 3800 MW, accounting for 25% of the total generating capacity of which offshore wind farm installed capacity of 423 MW from 2008 up to 868 MW in 2010.
Wind power cooperative ownership structure of industry
Danish wind farm is unique in its ownership structure of the collectivization, ordinary people can be added to the Government’s strong support for wind power projects, wind farm shares a shareholder holding of local residents by the way, a good solution local residents due to wind noise 、 destruction of landscape and other negative factors arising from the resistance.
Copenhagen Business School professor Peter • Ka Yueer that the cooperative form of ownership is a long tradition in Denmark, the Danish bank 、 dairies and slaughterhouses and other industries have a wealth of operational experience, onshore wind farm in the 1970s began to Using this form of operation for those who have backyard wind turbine residents, the windmill turning at the same time, a steady stream of money flowing into their bank accounts.
Middelgrunden is Denmark’s first cooperative ownership structure approach to offshore wind farm operation, located in Copenhagen, East Coast, formed by the 20 windmills on the Taiwan Strait. The wind farm began operating in 2000, the total investment amount of about 48 million euros available 8856 shareholders, their shares can be traded freely.
Middelgrunden wind power cooperative board member Hans • Christian • Selun Sen is an engineer, working for sustainable energy industry, told Xinhua News Agency reporters: “Denmark, the use of cooperative ownership structure model, is to make more people to participate in the wind them to power plan, which not only make people more receptive to wind power projects, while avoiding the local residents reject wind power project. ”
Cooperation with Middelgrunden wind farm ownership structure of this idea was first proposed in 1993, after local residents and non-governmental organizations, reached after consultation. Selun Sen said: “You pay DKK 4250 (1 U.S. dollar equals 5.5 Danish kroner) to purchase a share, and then return 600 Danish kroner per year, which means that the initial return on investment of 14% to 15% since then yield will be slightly lower, but the full cost recoverable after more than a decade, but also get 7% The annual rate of return. people are very satisfied with this result, because the money in the bank than the higher income also contributed to environmental protection. “
