China's Inner Mongolia grassland area of South Korean territory 12 times, from the western to the most eastern part of the Hulunbuir Bayannaoer, large-scale wind power stations everywhere. As of last year, the total generating capacity of 9,196 megawatts (MW), equivalent to nine 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant (South Korea is building nuclear power stations are mostly 1,000 MW per seat). In parts of China, wind energy has become the main source of energy. On wind power generation capacity of 3,400 MW in Inner Mongolia Western Power, the total wind power generating capacity in proportion up to 20%.
The dream to build a new renewable energy power of China, the fossil fuel is the most realistic alternative to wind power generator . Because wind energy is a new renewable energy in the lowest-cost energy. Regional wind power in China is priced at 1 kilowatt (KW) 0.51-0.61 yuan, the only thermal power (0.27 yuan) about twice. Moreover, the price of wind turbines is still declining, so another 5-10 years, even if the Government does not provide subsidies, but also get economic benefits.
Since 2005, China's wind power capacity of 100% annual growth rate of .2004 years not one of the world top ten, but last year has surpassed Spain as the world's third largest wind power country. This year China will overtake Germany's second largest.
China also turn its attention to offshore energy development. Shanghai, East China Sea Bridge wind farm's power generation capacity of 100 megawatts, can be called the Chinese test the possibility of offshores mall wind turbines pilot project. Different offshore wind generators and land, high construction costs. If a fault occurs, must be near the boat, so maintenance costs are relatively higher. But offshore wind power generation time of more than 20% more than the land, and close to the large demand for electricity in eastern coastal cities, so to avoid the burden of long-range power supply. In addition, the available wind resource of 7.5 million kilowatts, up to the land (250 million kilowatts) of three.
To make China's main offshore wind power energy, to overcome many obstacles. Because the strength of the wind change at any time, this will lead to voltage instability. Therefore, to unite and use of existing offshore wind power turbines, it must develop smart grid, that is, through information and communication technology to precision adjustment of electricity production, transportation and consumption. Samsung Economic Research Institute of China Qiu Gang, chief researcher, said: "Although the need for a lot of smart grid construction costs, but technically not very difficult, it can be resolved over time. South Korea is surrounded by the sea, should be actively studying the use of this offshore wind power generation. "
