With the implementation of China's energy development strategy, the domestic market for wind power equipment has been expanding year by year. In the “Long-Term Development Plan for Wind Power Generation†formulated by the National Development and Reform Commission, it is clearly stated that by the end of 2010, the total installed capacity of wind power in China will reach 4 million KW; by the end of 2015, the total installed capacity of wind power in China will reach 10 million KW; At the end of the year, the total installed capacity of wind power in China reached 20 million KW. The large-scale development of wind power provides a broad market space for the development of wind power equipment manufacturing. How to realize the localization of wind power equipment has become an urgent matter for China to accelerate the development of the wind power industry.
It is reported that the government will give corresponding policy support to the development of the wind power equipment industry. Due to the particularity of the wind power equipment industry itself, at present, the support for its entire machine or its parts and components is heavy and the relevant departments are still under review.
Because of the long cycle and high risks of investment in the wind power industry, experts believe that the state should give strong support in the autonomy of wind power equipment. For example, the state should promote the development of wind power equipment industry in terms of laws and regulations, testing and certification.
At present, the Ministry of Science and Technology has included the industrialization of wind power equipment in the key support projects of the "Guidelines for Selected Key Projects of the Technology Innovation Fund for Science and Technology Small and Medium-sized Enterprises of the Year 2007". Relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology stated that the country will support the industrialization of large and medium-sized wind turbines through loans and interest subsidies.
For this reason, the country recently adjusted the tax rate of imported components for wind power equipment. From January 1, 2008 (according to the time of import declaration), the import duties and duties on key components and raw materials imported by domestic companies for the development and manufacture of high-power wind turbines (not less than 1.2 MW) Import value-added tax shall be collected first, and the tax refund shall be treated as national investment and transferred to state capital funds, which shall be mainly used for the development and production of new products of enterprises and the construction of independent innovation capabilities.
Global Wind Energy Growth Surpasses Expectations According to a report released by the World Outlook Research Institute in mid-April 2008, global wind power growth exceeded expectations. In 2007, global wind power generation capacity increased by 27% to more than 94,100 MW. The EU, the United States, and China led the increase in wind power capacity.
In the growth of power generation capacity, the newly added US wind power facilities are second only to natural gas and ranks second, and European new wind energy still ranks among the world's leading positions. In China, an increase of 3,449 MW wind turbine capacity was estimated in 2007.
In 2007, the United States increased its wind power capacity by 5,244 MW, which was mainly due to the reduction of tax incentives and the drive of renewable energy directives in 25 states and the District of Columbia. As of March 2008, the United States has a total wind power capacity of 16818 MW, second only to Germany. Germany remains the world leader in wind power generation capacity, accounting for nearly 24% of the total global capacity. Spain added new capacity to Europe in 2007 and now has a total capacity of 15,145MW, ranking third in the world. France, Italy, Portugal, and the United Kingdom also experienced great growth in 2007. On the whole, the EU’s wind capacity in 2007 increased by 18%, and the region accounted for 60% of the global capacity.
The estimated value of the global wind energy market in 2007 was 36 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for nearly half of the total investment in renewable renewable electricity and heating capacity. The world’s wind energy industry now has as many as 200,000 employees.
The current installed capacity of wind power in Asian countries is close to 7 million kilowatts, of which India is 4.4 million kilowatts, ranking fourth behind Germany, the United States, and Spain. China currently has 1.26 million kilowatts of wind power. With the new "Renewable Energy Law," wind power has begun to grow at a rapid rate. This law gives tax incentives and subsidies for wind power generation. The goal is to increase wind power capacity to 30 million kilowatts by 2010. Experts in the wind power industry in China have even predicted that by 2050 China’s wind power production capacity will reach 400 million kilowatts. In comparison, China's total generation capacity at the end of 2007 was 356.1 million kilowatts.
Wind power provides more than just affordable clean energy. The price of wind power is stable and is not affected by the fluctuation of fossil fuel prices. Wind power can support local economic development because it can provide employment opportunities and land use fees, and the relevant taxes are likely to remain in the local area. In the end, the wind is inexhaustible and it can be used for a long time to ensure energy security.
The development of independent innovation in wind power is the first. Currently, technological innovation in the development of wind power in China is still weak, and there is a lack of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Therefore, to a great extent, technology must be imported from abroad. Although, in the era of the arrival of the knowledge economy, all countries have made full use of global resources and have narrowed the gaps and increased their competitiveness through technology import and international cooperation. However, if we do not have the capability of independent innovation, we will not know what advanced technology will be introduced, and we will not be able to digest and absorb it after the introduction. Moreover, foreign core technologies cannot be imported, and we must rely on independent innovation to master core technologies.
The establishment of a technological innovation system is the foundation for the establishment of innovative enterprises. Innovative enterprises must have independent intellectual property rights, independent knowledge brands and continuous innovation capabilities. In addition to relying mainly on enterprises in their own efforts in market competition, the state must give priority support and guidance. Experts suggested that pilot projects can be carried out in several wind power plant enterprises and parts and components companies with better conditions, and their R&D institutions, R&D personnel, R&D funds, R&D projects, patent applications, product brands, capacity building, assessment and evaluation, etc. Make specific requirements and quantitative indicators. In the establishment of an innovation system, special attention should be given to strengthening the integration of production, learning, and research. By integrating resources, co-innovation, and rationally arranging market share and intellectual property rights, enterprises, research institutes, and institutions of higher education should complement each other and develop together.
In addition, we must make full use of domestic and foreign resources to build a public technology service platform and play a very important role in promoting the technological innovation capability of enterprises. The public technology service platform is an important direction for capacity building, including technical standards, technical information, technical data, equipment and instruments, calculation software, technical consultation, and technical training. It can be composed of enterprises, scientific research institutes and institutions of higher learning, including national key laboratories. Jointly with the National Engineering Technology Research Center to jointly integrate, share, improve, and improve resources, gradually establish effective use of resources through the establishment of sharing mechanisms and management procedures, and establish a public platform for wind energy technology based on this foundation. National wind energy R&D center, testing center, certification center, information center and training center.
