China wasted 10 TWh of wind power in 2011 - CRES

Interfax-China quoted the China Renewable Energy Society said insufficient grid connections saw about 10 terawatt hours of China wind-generated power go unused in 2011, double the 2010 figure, resulting in unrealized revenue of more than CNY 5 billion.

The society said major wind power bases such as the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Gansu and Jilin provinces accounted for the bulk of unused power.

Mr Hu Yinan industry expert said while construction of a wind farm takes roughly six months, connecting the farm to the power grid typically takes much longer as grid operators currently lack economic incentives to accelerate grid expansion and keep up with the rapid growth of wind farms.

According to data released by the global Wind Energy Council, as of the end of 2011 China had 45,894 wind turbines totaling 62.73 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity, making it the largest producer and consumer of wind power in the world.

Wind farms in Mongolia could help minimize pollution

In the vast rolling plains of Salkhit, 45 miles outside the capital of Ulan Bator a work crew are busy bending large metal cables into an elaborate, squat structure. Once complete and with a turbine the length of a football field inserted into the top, it will form a key part of the first wind farm to operate in this coal-rich but infrastructure-poor Asian country.

Over the next month, 31 wind turbines will go into operation across this isolated site, supplying an impressive 5% of the nation current power needs. More importantly, those involved are hoping it will kick-start a clean energy revolution in a country in dire need of non-polluting energy sources.

Mr Bayanjargal Byambasaikhan CEO of Newcom Group the company behind the project said “We have a vision to transform Mongolia into a clean energy powerhouse of Asia.”

Mongolia actually has all of the natural advantages that could make it one of the key sources of clean energy in the world:

1. High plateaus with constant winds
2. Vast, sparsely inhabited plains that could be developed without too much disruption to traditional herder’s lives
3. Strong sunlight even in the bleak winter months.

Mr Neal Detert an American project manager at Clean Energy LLC in Mongolia said “In Mongolia you have large expenses of land, you've got more than 300 days per annum of sunlight and fairly constant wind. So it’s got basically the perfect trifecta for renewable energy in the world.”

The problem is that Mongolia’s past, present and future are indelibly tied to coal. The black carbon fuel drives the economy and is the country’s major export. It also made Ulan Bator, by some people’s reckoning, the most polluted capital city in the world last winter.

Ms Christa Hasenkopf a research fellow at the University of Colorado who is studying pollution in Ulan Bator said “I had seen the pollution numbers before arriving, but living here is a whole different experience.”

China Wind Power capacity linked to grid up by 87pct

Growth in the on-grid wind power capacity was up 87% annually over the last six years. Grid linked capacity will rise to 100 gigawatts by 2015 and 200 gigawatts by 2020.

China, the world largest emitter of greenhouse gases plans to have at least 15% of its energy mix come from non-fossil fuels by 2020. Wind farms are the second-biggest contributor to renewable-energy capacity in the nation after hydropower dams.
Regional concentrations of wind resources and a lack of links between local electricity networks and the national grid prevent the efficient use of wind power.

Mr Shu Yinbiao a deputy general manager at State Grid said China needs to accelerate the construction of trans- regional grids to meet its energy-development targets.

Hitachi Zosen led group plans JPY 120 billion offshore wind farms in Japan

Bloomberg reported that Hitachi Zosen Corporation, an industrial machinery maker, is leading a group including Toshiba Corporation and JFE Holdings Inc that plans to build JPY 120 billion of offshore wind farms in Japan.

Mr Tomomitsu Yamamoto, Tokyo based spokesman of Hitachi Zosen, said that the seven member group will complete 7.5 MWs of pilot plants by 2016 before building the wind farms with a combined capacity of 300 MWs over 10 years.

Japanese power utilities are obliged to buy electricity from solar and wind projects at above-market rates.

Hitachi Zosen said that the Japan Weather Association, Sumitomo Electric Industries Limited, Toa Corporation and Toyo Construction Co are other members of the group. The group may form a special purpose company and seek funds for the project.

Japan's government introduced incentives in July 2012 to promote investments in clean energy. The program's feed in tariff for wind is JPY 23.1 per kilowatt hour for 20 years, almost double the market rate for industrial users.

The Nikkei newspaper today reported the offshore wind power project, without saying where it obtained the information.

Shandong sees low wind power waste despite surge in capacity

Interfax-China reported that East China’s Shandong Province saw installed wind power capacity in August top 3.4 GW an increase of 51.36% YoY.

Local grid operator Shandong Electric Power Corporation said that the majority of wind power produced in the province was absorbed by the local power grid, Shandong Electric Power said without elaborating.

Mr Zheng Jianjing power industry consultant said that as the third biggest region in China by GDP and with a large industrial base Shandong has a strong economic incentive to maximize consumption of local wind power. The province currently needs to import power to meet demand.

According to Shandong Electric Power, Shandong consumed 364 terawatt hours of power in 2011 but only produced 318 TWH. The province has proven exploitable wind power resources of 26.55 GW and plans to increase installed capacity to eight GW by 2015 to reduce dependence on electricity imports, the gird operator said. Wind power as a share of the province’s total installed power capacity rose from 0.03% in 2011 to 6.22% by the end of August.

Shandong’s apparent success at connecting wind farms to the power gird stands in stark contrast to other major wind power producing regions including Gansu and Hebei provinces and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region which waste large quantities wind power because of poor grid connections. Those regions are relatively underdeveloped and produce surplus electricity.

Wind potential in India and Tamil Nadu have been underestimated

Business Line reported that recent studies the wind energy potential in India and States such as Tamil Nadu have been underestimated.

Mr GM Pillai director feneral of World Institute of Sustainable Energy said that with appropriate policies wind energy can be brought to the mainstream to supplement conventional power.

Addressing media persons at a curtain raiser on Wind Power India 2012, a 3 day exhibition and seminar to start on November 28th, he said that over the last couple of years assessments of wind energy potential in India have averaged over 3 lakh MW against the prevailing 45,000 MW.

The World Institute’s study in Tamil Nadu said that just on wasteland alone over 35,000 MW of wind power generation could be established against 6,000 MW in place.

In renewable energy sector, wind energy is commercially viable and can support the Central Government’s target of setting up 60,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2020 to get 15% of the total electricity generation from clean technologies.

Mr Ramesh Kymal President of Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association said that the targeted additions to capacity can be achieved through domestic production. But appropriate policies are needed to support investors to add the wind energy generation capacities.

Mr Kymal said that measures such as generation based incentives for utility scale projects and accelerated depreciation for smaller capacities are needed.

Mr V Subramanian former secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and conference chairman said that wind energy capacity of about 18,000 MW in India now contributes just 3% of total electricity generation capacity against the targeted 15%. This represents a huge opportunity.
