At the recent Beijing International Wind Energy Conference, Wang Jun, Director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division at the National Energy Administration, highlighted key challenges facing China's wind power sector. He pointed out that as the industry has grown rapidly, the existing power system and management framework are no longer adequate for large-scale operations. Issues such as grid integration, lack of coordinated planning across different energy sources, and the need to improve grid operation standards have become more pressing, leading to significant problems with wind curtailment and power waste. Quality and reliability, he emphasized, are fundamental to the sustainable growth of the wind power industry and must be continuously improved.
Wind energy offers numerous benefits, including enhancing energy structure, increasing supply, supporting economic growth, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting the environment, and creating jobs—especially in remote areas. Over the years, China has made remarkable progress in wind power technology, with improvements in turbine efficiency and a substantial drop in generation costs. By the end of 2013, it was estimated that China’s total wind power capacity would surpass 75 million kilowatts, with annual wind power generation reaching 140 billion kilowatt-hours.
Globally, wind power is gaining momentum. As of 2012, global installed wind capacity reached 282 million kilowatts, with an annual increase of 44.6 million kilowatts. Wind power accounted for 2.6% of global electricity supply, and over 110 countries and regions were actively developing wind energy. Nearly 90 of these had achieved large-scale commercial operations. In some regions, wind power has already played a critical role in meeting electricity demand. For example, in 2012, wind energy supplied 7% of Europe’s electricity and 3.4% in the U.S.
Wang Jun also warned that as wind power capacity expands, incidents caused by equipment quality issues are on the rise. Ensuring high-quality wind power equipment, he said, is essential for the long-term sustainability of the industry.
To address these challenges, several steps are being taken. First, reforms in the power system are being promoted to prioritize wind power access, strengthen research and supervision on wind curtailment, develop targeted solutions, and introduce a renewable energy quota system. The goal is to resolve curtailment issues within 2–3 years.
Second, the wind power development management system is being improved, with stronger planning and guidance to ensure steady and orderly growth. Recent advances in low-speed wind turbine technology have enabled the development of wind farms in eastern and southern China, creating new opportunities for industry expansion.
Third, a more robust monitoring and evaluation system is being established. Real-time data on wind power development, construction scale, and equipment quality will be used to inform the public and guide the industry toward healthy growth.
He Dexin, director of the Wind Energy Professional Committee at the Chinese Renewable Energy Society, noted that wind power, as a relatively new industry, still requires policy support and direction. China has vast land and rich wind resources, making it well-suited for large-scale wind energy development. Since 2006, the country has implemented the "Renewable Energy Law," and developing wind power remains a long-term strategic goal.
The transition to wind power demands changes in traditional energy management and thinking. It calls for the development of forecasting systems, efficient generation, transmission, and utilization of wind energy, aiming to maximize its use and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. In Europe and the U.S., renewable energy capacity has surged while fossil fuel power has declined. Countries are now focusing on long-term plans for wind and other renewables. Based on current trends, there is optimism that a future with greater renewable energy use is within reach.
Plastic Coated Steel Wire Rope is made of phosphating coated steel wire rope, galvanized steel wire rope, Stainless Steel Wire Rope and smooth steel wire rope. Wire rope pvc plastic. The colors of the plastic-coated steel wire rope are transparent white, black, yellow, green, red, etc., and can be painted with different plastic colors according to customer needs; the surface of the plastic-coated steel wire rope looks more beautiful, and the structure of the steel wire rope is more stable, reaching a certain slowness. Anti-vibration and anti-extrusion effect, can prolong the service life of the wire rope.
