Small wind power project analysis and current problems

Small-sized wind turbines are exported to foreign markets with a profit margin of approximately 100%. In the domestic market, the profit margins of the “opto-electronic complementary” small wind turbines that are already on the market are also around 40%.

Affected by the financial turmoil that swept across the globe, China’s foreign trade and export industry suffered severe blows. However, small-scale wind power that has been “unknown” has risen against the backdrop this year. At the Canton Fair, compared to the deserted scenes of most traditional export products, the small wind power exhibition area It is particularly prosperous, orders continue. In the eyes of industry experts, small wind power or in the next few years will be "blowout" development.

Small wind power market analysis:

Coal, natural gas, and other minerals as the main raw materials of thermal power, due to their non-renewable nature, are increasingly depleted, and the issue of greenhouse gas emissions from thermal power generation is also increasingly being taken seriously by governments of all countries. To develop new energy sources, in the world The scope has been put on the agenda. Among new energy sources, wind energy has developed most rapidly in recent years.

According to media reports, the number of small wind power installations in the UK will more than double this year. The reason is that the British government is aiming to reach 35% of its electricity demand from the "green power" target by 2020, and British consumers are facing high tariffs, and the UK's six major energy sources. The company raised user tariffs twice in 2008. In 2009, the UK’s demand for small wind power will continue to increase significantly. According to a report from the British Wind Power Association (BWEA), the UK will install 13,000 new small-scale wind power equipment in 2009. the above.

Like the United Kingdom, the United States, a major energy consumer, is also actively promoting the development of small-scale wind power. In October this year, the US Congress passed a preferential tax policy for small-scale wind power equipment. Its content is: investment tax credits, 30% of the construction cost can be used Tax credit. Qin Haiyan, secretary-general of the China Wind Energy Association, believes that the introduction of this policy will prompt the US small wind turbine market to grow at a rate of around 40%.

The development of wind power in China has been mainly based on the construction of large-scale wind farms. The projects approved in recent years are mostly large-scale wind farms. To this day, the entire industry of small-scale wind power is under the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery. This is to a large extent Impeded the development of the small wind power industry.

At the “Workshop on Wind Power Construction” held in Beijing, Zhao Xiaoping, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, stated that China’s wind power development strategy will be appropriately adjusted in the future, and on the basis of continuing to promote large-scale wind power bases, it will also focus on the construction of small and medium wind power projects. This is a good sign for China's small and medium-sized wind power industry that happiness is about to knock on the door.

Small wind power prospect analysis:

There is no opportunity on the one hand, can you seize the opportunity is another side.

The market for "small cakes" in the global small-scale wind power industry is getting bigger and bigger. Will China's small-scale wind turbine manufacturers have the ability to share food?

Although small-scale wind power and large-scale wind power are all in the wind power industry, most of us in the industry view them as two different industries. Although the principle of wind power generation for small wind power and large-scale wind power is similar, the two are very different: policy orientation is different. , Different application areas, different markets, different technologies, completely belong to two industries.

In China, large-scale wind power construction projects are basically controlled by state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, and it is difficult for private enterprises to enter. In the field of small wind power, private enterprises have a strong vitality. Jiangdu Shenzhou Wind Machine Factory, Jingjiang Filds Wind Power Equipment Co., Ltd. Private enterprises such as private enterprises have taken the lead in the industry in the production of small wind turbines.

Although large-scale wind power is a leading foreign company in terms of equipment and technology, in the complementary fields of small and medium-sized wind power generation and scenery (referring to wind energy and solar energy), it is China's “outstanding”. Both in terms of technology and price, China’s production of small Fans are very competitive in the world.

Small-scale wind power emerged in the 1980s and was mainly used in areas that Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other power grids could not spread. After these years of technological breakthroughs, China is slowly starting up small and medium-sized wind power and complementary Chinese brands in the international market.

While maintaining the leading position in technology, benefiting from relatively low labor costs in China, China’s export of small wind turbines has a clear price advantage in foreign markets, which is about two-thirds that of local European and American products. Although the domestic small wind power market has been It has not been developed, but the "two-in-one" combination of technological superiority and price advantage has enabled China's small-scale wind power to gradually make its presence in the international market.

"The flower wall outside the wall is fragrant," is the best portrayal of the status quo of China's small wind power industry.

Problems faced by small wind power:

Due to lack of policy support, the development of small-scale wind power in China is very limited. Areas where the power grid is difficult to spread, such as remote villages, lake areas, and islands, have a certain market demand for small-scale wind power. However, from an economic perspective Speaking, external benefits do not necessarily mean internal benefits. Because the purchasing power of residents in these areas is not high, and the equipment transportation costs are large, maintenance and repair are quite troublesome, so it is difficult to form economic benefits.

In areas covered by power grids, installation of small-scale wind power equipment is a one-time investment, installation costs are high, and users are also skeptical about their stability. Few people will consider buying. “For the development of the domestic market, we mainly rely on The government has cooperated to apply small wind power to street lamps, traffic monitoring equipment, weather stations, desalination and other fields."

In foreign markets, because countries such as Europe and the United States have relevant financial subsidies for residents to purchase small wind turbines, and awareness of the use of clean energy among residents of these countries is relatively strong, the development speed of small wind power has been relatively fast in recent years. Du Shangbin told reporters: “Like Germany , United States, Britain, Denmark, New Zealand and other countries, the government gives small wind power farmers, herdsmen 40% - 60% of the financial subsidies. Small wind turbines not only enough for their own electricity, the remaining part can also be integrated into the power grid to sell money , so the enthusiasm of the farmers is very high."

For domestic small-scale wind power producers, they look forward to long-term support for government policies. When the domestic market for small wind power can open up, it depends on when the country can think of this "forgotten industry."
