With an investment of 1.76 billion yuan (279 million US dollars), it will be completed in September 2014.

In its 12th Five-year Plan period (2011-2015), China will accelerate the development of offshore wind power, as the country’s best sites on land have already been taken.

China has up to 750 gigawatts (gw) of exploitable wind resources in the sea, three times that of its land-based wind resources. These offshore wind resources are found off the eastern and southern coasts, near large economic centers with growing demand for power and diminishing supplies of fossil-energy resources.

According to the National Energy Bureau, China will construct 5 gw of offshore wind generator projects by 2015, representing five percent of its total wind installed capacity.

To grab a slice of the promising market, other Chinese wind turbines makers are hastening their paces to develop large-capacity offshore wind turbines. In January, Guodian United Power announced it had produced a 6-mw prototype. Goldwind expects to install a 6-mw prototype in June this year.

The 20-megawatt wind farm is planned near Shawmut, a small community about 75 miles northwest of Billings along the Musselshell River.

It will be built by Goldwind USA, whose Chinese parent company, Goldwind,  wind power generators bills itself as one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in the world.

The project’s prior owners, Volkswind, already had construction permits for the project and a deal to sell the power that will be generated to NorthWestern Energy.

Goldwind says it hopes to complete construction on the project and begin wind generator power at the Shawmut site by the end of the year.

U.S. Sen. Max Baucus said in a statement that he met with executives from the company during a 2010 trip to Beijing and urged them to do business in the state.

Meanwhile, the 10-megawatt Gordon Butte wind turbine generator farm near Martinsdale recently completed construction and became fully operational earlier this month, Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Thursday. The project was developed by Bozeman-based Oversight Resources.

The state now has 395 megawatts of wind energy generating capacity, Schweitzer said.

To be sure, the Chinese government isn’t investing in green energy for its people to use–China is building 1,000 megawatts of coal power every three weeks to satisfy the demand for electricity within its borders. Instead, these subsidies are meant primarily to spur the manufacture of solar panels and wind turbines that are needed to meet Soviet-style green energy production quotas enacted by the U.S. and European countries. To put it another way, China is subsidizing the supply of green energy, while the U.S. and Europe are mandating its demand.

This is the best possible outcome, under the crummy scenario whereby demand for renewable energy is set by government. That is, the U.S. and Europe are foolish to force their people to use wind and solar power, but if they must, then it’s best that renewable energy be provided as inexpensively as possible. And thanks to subsidies, (relatively) affordable energy, and cheaper labor, China can produce small wind turbines and solar panels much more cheaply than can the U.S.

However, environmentalists, renewable energy lobbyists, and their Congressional benefactors are always looking for excuses to explain away the bad press that clings to intermittent and expensive green energy. Since 2008, they’ve had the perfect foil: The Chinese Dragon. They claim that China’s energy subsidies are allowing it to win supremacy in a supposed great green game. According to Horizontal wind turbines these green energy enthusiasts, the U.S. risks falling behind in the global market for renewables, unless the government out-subsidizes China. They would have you believe that Solyndra’s spectacular demise was caused by China, and not crony capitalism. Alas, U.S. policymakers have found these arguments persuasive. As noted above, this year we topped China in giveaways to green energy.

The feasibility report for the wind farm located near Puti Island in Bohai Sea has recently passed expert reviews that were commissioned by the National Energy Bureau (NEB).
Under the program, the wind farm, built with a total investment of 5.76 billion yuan ($914 million), will comprise 100 units of 3MW offshore turbines. The approval authority will complete relevant procedures to sanction the project at the end of this year, and the project will be connected to the grid before the end of 2015.
When it goes into operation, the wind turbines manufacturers farm will generate 752 million kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electric power annually, as well as 730 million yuan in annual sales revenues. It was also pay 58 million yuan in taxes to the local government.
Leting County has 124.9 kilometers of coastline, or a quarter of Hebei’s total coastline. The county boasts rich exploitable wind power resources, totaling 3.7 gigawatts (GW).
The county government established an offshore wind power development plan in early 2011. The NEB gave its approval for the county to prepare for the 300MW offshore wind power project in June 2011.
China has rich wind power resources. According to the China Meteorological Administration, China has up to 750GW in exploitable wind resources in seas, or three times that of on-shore small wind turbines resources.
But offshore wind farms remain a tiny portion of China’s total installed wind power capacity.
In June 2010, the Shanghai East Sea Bridge Offshore Wind Farm, with an installed capacity of 102MW, went into operation, making it the country’s first offshore home  wind power generator farm to operate commercially.
Meanwhile, construction on Longyuan Power’s intertidal wind farm is going smoothly in Rudong County, east China’s Jiangsu Province. This farm is currently China’s largest, with installed capacity of 150MW, and the entire project is expected to be completed in March.

This is the company%s first project in Pakistan, while in total, it is third wind power project initiated in the country.
Pakistan has vast potential to generate electricity through alternative energy sources, which is reflective from the fact that alone the Thatta district has the capacity of producing 15,000 MW windmill power.
The government has introduced an %effective and attractive% renewable energy policy, which is bringing foreign investment in the power sector. Special attention is being paid on other resources to produce electricity like hydro, hydel and wind, which are cheapest modes of generating power. Besides, the focus is being given on the Thar coal reserves to use in power production.
The Thar coal reserves worth USD 25 trillion have potential to generate 5,000 MW electricity for at least 800 years to meet growing energy demand of the country. While, the wind power generated from coal gasification is the cheapest than other sources like furnace oil, natural gas and hydel.
According to a report, a single reserve in Thar has about 850 trillion cubic feet coal.
Alternative Energy Development Board has set a target to generate 1,500 MW wind power by 2013, which seems achievable because of the serious and accelerated efforts of the government.
There is a plan to inaugurate one wind power plant every month in 2012, expressing the hope that more foreign companies would invest in power sector of the country.
Chinese ambassador reports says that cooperation in energy sector would further strengthen bilateral relations between the two friendly countries. China wind generators would continue to extend all possible assistance to Pakistan in meeting the increasing electricity shortage.

MAKE said that the PTC will replace the extension or other policy uncertainty, resulting in 2011 and 2012 the construction of wind power get together, the new development plan in 2013 is a straight line down.

MAKE to paying customers in the summary of the report, said, “No PTC preferential policies, the level of wind power installed capacity in 2013 will be plunged, the U.S. market will walk the edge of the cliff.”

“Even if the PTC to obtain an extension of the wind turbine generator market likely will not have significant influence, because the market will face more challenging macro-economic conditions: the basic needs remain weak, natural gas futures prices slump. Even with the PTC policy support, hot market performance in 2013 will also be gone. ”

The company also said that analysis of the project will be completed in 2012 found that public order, the industry leader in wind turbine manufacturing firm their market share.

MAKE released in March of this year’s annual rankings, the Danish  wind turbines manufacturer Vestas wind power generation equipment with 12% global market share rose to first place, followed in turn is Sinovel of China and the U.S. General Electric.

China had more than 80 wind turbine makers as of 2010, capable of producing over 40 Gigawatts, yet wind equipment demand is expected to be just 15 GW a year.

And companies looking overseas to fuel their growth are met by funding bottlenecks in Europe and the United States that are likely to mean a decline in orders.

At home, Beijing has taken action to rein in overcapacity – implementing stricter technical standards for wind turbine production, tightening approvals for new wind farms and suspending connections of certain wind projects.

Those government moves to cool the sector have already dented profits at China’s top companies, including Sinovel Wind Group and Xinjiang Goldwind Science and Technology. Earnings at several firms nearly halved in the first half of this year.

“The worst isn’t over for these guys,” said Min Li, head of alternative energy at Yuanta Securities. “Massive oversupply and a slowdown in wind turbine orders will keep margins depressed for a couple more years.”

Macquarie analyst Patrick Dai said he expected Goldwind’s revenue to decline at an annualized rate of 3 per cent from 2011 to 2013.

“Oversupply and soft demand conditions are unlikely to improve significantly in 2012, which suggests that pricing pressure should persist in the next 12 months,” he said.

Chinese wind turbines generator makers’ global share had been expanding along with China’s rise as the biggest wind power market last year.

Seven Chinese companies, including Dongfang Electric and China Ming Yang Wind Power Group, were among the world’s top 15 in 2010, according to Make Consulting, a specialist in the wind power industry.

China is on track to install 15 GW of wind generators capacity annually through 2020, down from about 19 GW added last year, according to the Chinese Wind Energy Association.

The need for larger rotors, taller towers and more efficient drivetrains is critical to developing sub-optimal wind turbines sites profitably. Additionally, unique regional challenges are promoting new technology adoption, from more stringent grid connection regulations in China to offshore wind development in the EU to meeting the call for IEC III systems in the US.

“Turbine OEMs have rose to current market challenges, deploying a flood of new products to address the wide ranging needs of a global marketplace,” says Dan Shreve, Partner and Director at MAKE Consulting. “Design philosophies and R&D strategies are also widely varied, but virtually all turbine OEMs are focused on strategic components that have the most significant impact on cost of energy.”

Increasing energy capture through the use of  residential wind generator larger rotors has the single largest impact on wind turbine cost of energy. Turbine OEMs are pushing the envelope of design, moving toward aero-elastic tailored blades that enable heightened turbine performance while minimizing fatigue loads. Carbon fiber and automated production processes are being harnessed in support of these new advanced airfoil designs. Some turbine OEMs are focused on traditional materials and improving blade aerodynamics to achieve similar results, while others still are focused on blade trailing edge enhancements that minimize noise.

It is clear that technology will play a critical role in determining the success of wind energy market participants throughout the value chain. MAKE maintains its conviction that advanced technology development will shape the future of the global wind industry and prevent it from moving towards a commoditized space. As a consequence, industry leaders will distinguish themselv small wind turbines es from the competition by successfully navigating an increasingly demanding market environment with a structured design approach that strikes the proper balance between price and performance.
