The hottest wind power industry in Shanghai how to

Editor's note: since this year, domestic and foreign wind power giants have gathered in Shanghai for many times, from the Shanghai International Wind Energy Exhibition in April to the China international offshore wind power and transmission conference in June. Every time, there are a lot of people, and the applicants are far more than expected

in the field of wind power, there are many stories of Shanghai enterprises "riding the wind", but as a new energy industry, Shanghai is in a somewhat embarrassing situation in the race with other provinces and cities:

at present, Shanghai produced wind turbines account for only 2% of the national market, while the share of the three domestic wind power giants is as high as 50%; In 2008, the installed capacity of wind power in Shanghai increased by 15000 kW, and that in neighboring Zhejiang Province increased by 150000 kW, 10 times that of Shanghai, while in Jiangsu Province, the figure was as high as 354500 kW

the development of wind power industry in China Guangzhou Goldilocks: the multi-disciplinary layout seeks technology and market commanding heights. It has only been five years, and the gap in Shanghai seems to be widening on the whole. Shi Pengfei, vice chairman of the wind energy professional committee of the China Renewable Energy Association, told: "a certain district of Shanghai invited me to see a large beach a few years ago. It is a good site for wind farms, but so far no windmills have been erected..."

Sinovel wind power has come from behind

in the past five years, China's wind power industry has experienced a surge, from a single branch to a three pronged change. Before 2006, Goldwind technology, located in Xinjiang, with its first mover effect, stabilized its domestic market share of wind power equipment at more than 20%. Since 2007, Sinovel wind power and Dongfang Electric began to speed up and replace imported products in large quantities. By the end of 2008, Sinovel wind power, Goldwind technology and Dongfang Electric had formed a tripartite confrontation, with the market share of newly installed capacity of 22%, 18% and 17% respectively. Among them, the sales volume of Sinovel fan devices in 2008 reached 1000 units, with a sales volume of 8billion yuan, becoming a new leader in the wind power industry

similar to Shanghai Electric in the field of wind power, Sinovel wind power was also a "little brother", but it came from behind in just a few years. Hanjunliang, chairman of Sinovel wind power, told: "A few years ago, when we boldly introduced 1.5 MW wind turbines, everyone was worried that Sinovel was inexperienced and might suffer from indigestion. After the introduction and absorption, we developed and certified 1.5 MW wind turbines suitable for different types of wind zones and different temperature ranges. We did enough and thoroughly, and can operate in Gobi or beach Turn freely. This has seized the opportunity of national wind power development. "

with the increasingly fierce competition in the wind power industry, whether wind power enterprises have strong industrial integration capabilities has become the key to victory. Backed by the parent company Dalian heavy industry, Sinovel wind power has accelerated the localization of parts, reduced costs and expanded scale. At present, the localization rate of 1.5 MW wind turbines has reached about 90%. At the same time, thanks to the long-term cooperation between the parent company and the five major domestic power generation groups in hydropower, thermal power and nuclear power, Sinovel wind power is far higher than Goldwind technology in terms of wind power machines purchased by power generation giants

how does Shanghai Electric catch up with the development of wind power? Shanghai's start is a bit slow. As a leading enterprise in the wind power industry in Shanghai, Shanghai electric wind power company was founded at the end of 2006, later than the three leading enterprises. Xu Jianguo, chairman of Shanghai Electric, does not shy away from the current market pressure: "compared with Sinovel wind power, Shanghai Electric has a big gap. We must give full play to our own advantages in order to catch up."

Shanghai Electric, which has worked hard in the field of thermal power and nuclear power for many years, has accumulated experience, technology and contacts, which can provide good support for wind power. Qi Xinping, chairman of Shanghai electric wind power company, said that as a latecomer, Shanghai Electric will also complete the evolution from the introduction of technology to joint design, and then to independent development through secondary innovation. According to reports, Shanghai electric wind power is stepping up the development of 1.25 MW wind turbines, including the design and development of low-temperature, high-temperature and plateau units. The development of 2 MW and 3.6 MW offshore wind turbines is also accelerating. Among them, the 3.6 MW offshore wind turbine will be offline in the first half of next year. It has a 116 meter diameter wind turbine and weighs 17 tons with only one blade

as for catching up, some people also worry that every inch of land and money in Shanghai is expensive, and the cost of land and manpower is at least 10% higher than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and inland areas

Li Junfeng, deputy director of the Energy Research Institute of the national development and Reform Commission, disagreed: "at present, the world's largest wind power companies are all in developed countries. Take general electric as an example. Will the production cost in the United States be lower than that in Shanghai? It's impossible, but they will take the lead in the world in four years." As for the industrial path of catching up, Li Junfeng also has his own view: "when developing wind power in Shanghai, don't always think about catching up with others, and don't always think about making and using by yourself. Instead, we should stand on a higher level of industrial integration to seek win-win cooperation."

the offshore wind field is an opportunity

the pursuit of the wind requires another battlefield. According to the data, the wind energy resources at 10 meters, 20 meters and 30 meters of water depth in China's offshore are 100million kW, 300million kW and 490million kW respectively, which is three times the exploitable amount of onshore wind power in China. At present, more than 95% of the installed capacity of wind turbines in China is onshore wind power, while offshore wind power is only a fraction. In the next few years, the market share of offshore wind power is expected to reach 30%. As a national offshore wind power project demonstration site, the development of offshore wind power is obviously an opportunity to catch up. According to the size of steel strands

since this year, domestic and foreign wind power giants have gathered in Shanghai for many times, from the Shanghai International Wind Energy Exhibition in April to the China international offshore wind power and transmission conference in June. Every time, there are a large number of guests, and the applicants are far more than expected. Once wanted to obtain a collection of papers for the offshore wind power conference, but was told by the organizer: "only 400 copies have been printed, and there are too many delegates attending the conference, so they have long been received." Many of these participants came for the offshore wind power demonstration project of Donghai Bridge in Shanghai

according to Zhang Kaihua, deputy general manager of Shanghai Donghai wind power company, 34 domestic offshore wind turbines with a unit capacity of 3 MW will be installed in the 100 MW wind farm of Donghai Bridge. This sea area is 8-13 kilometers away from the coastline. The wind turbines are arranged on the east side of Donghai Bridge, which is a real offshore "wind power plant". The demonstration operation of the Donghai Bridge offshore wind power project will play a positive leading role in connecting the complete industrial chain of offshore wind power from manufacturing, installation to maintenance

multinational companies also came from the wind. In May this year, Siemens wind power blade company, which cost 581million yuan in Siemens China, also broke ground in Shanghai Lingang. Ma De, President of Siemens' China energy business, told: "in the field of offshore wind power, Siemens is a leader. We have patented technology of wind blades that do not need bonding, and also brought offshore wind power integration technology."

the government also needs to push

the clouds are flying when the wind blows. In June this year, the action plan for promoting the industrialization of high and new technologies released by Shanghai mentioned that by 2012, the total output value of Shanghai's wind power industry will reach 30billion yuan. The action plan also gives some preferential policies to attract headquarters and equipment depreciation, but it is understood that many enterprises reflect that the strength of the policy is not enough, and they are also worried about whether the policy can be truly implemented

only by opening and integration can we become the wind power industry. Shanghai has obvious regional advantages and attractions in terms of R & D technology, attracting talents, multi-channel financing, etc. Hanjunliang, chairman of Sinovel wind power, revealed that Shanghai has invited the technology center of Sinovel wind power to settle down. At the beginning of this year, Huayi Electric enclosed 100 mu of land near Shanghai port, preparing to build a research and development center to develop 2.5 MW wind turbine products

however, if Shanghai wants to become China's wind power industry headquarters and R & D agglomeration, it needs to further break the rules and regulations and enlarge the policy effect. The person in charge of a private fan enterprise from Heilongjiang recently complained to: the company's headquarters and R & D center are located in Shanghai, but its production base is in other provinces, so it has not been able to enjoy the technical transformation projects in Shanghai to support its super elasticity and structural firmness policies with microstructure. "Other provinces and cities invite us to settle in, and the conditions are better than Shanghai, but the management and R & D personnel are used to living in Shanghai beach, which is really a dilemma."

similarly, the head of Wande wind power, a local private enterprise, also said that government departments are very concerned about its projects, but if compared with supporting measures, the policies of surrounding provinces and cities are more preferential. Over the past few years, Wande has obtained more than 3 million yuan of policy funds by applying for nine national and municipal scientific research projects, but compared with the hundreds of millions of Yuan invested by private shareholders, it still doesn't quench its thirst. "We really need the government to push it again."
