The core technology of wind power equipment in China is facing the "test"

China's wind power equipment manufacturing industry can only truly save the global dominance of wind power generation by only changing the status quo of blind expansion, quickly reversing the wind direction, and conducting core technological breakthroughs.

At the “Beijing Second International New Energy Summit Forum 2011” held recently, Dong Xiufen, Director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, disclosed that by the end of this year, China’s installed wind power capacity will reach 45 million kilowatts, compared with 2010. The 31.13 million kilowatts in the year have increased by 14 million kilowatts, becoming the world's largest wind power producer for the second consecutive year.

The rapid development of wind power construction has brought a wealth feast to China's wind power equipment manufacturers. However, the leap forward development of wind power equipment manufacturing has also laid a huge hidden danger for the entire industry. The 2011 third quarterly report of a number of listed companies in the wind power manufacturing industry showed that the performance of large and small wind power equipment manufacturers has fallen sharply, sounding the alarm bell for China's wind power equipment manufacturing industry.

Yao Xiaoqin, a member of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, pointed out in an interview with reporters that China’s wind power equipment manufacturing is large but not strong, low-level repeat competition is serious, and price wars have caused related companies to face performance examinations. "To build a strong wind power country, China must increase its independent innovation and master core technologies."

Overcapacity by leaps and bounds unprecedented fierce price war <br> <br> thanks to construction of wind power, a few years ago, major domestic wind power equipment manufacturers are full of orders, work overtime to catch a ship, is rolling in profits . It is this wealth effect that has attracted large amounts of capital into the field of wind power manufacturing. The reporter learned from the China Wind Energy and Solar Energy Industry Association that since the second half of last year, a number of powerful listed companies and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises have joined the wind power equipment manufacturing industry, resulting in overcapacity in the field of wind power equipment manufacturing. The main competition is unprecedentedly fierce.

Ping An Securities analyst Dou Zeyun pointed out that the domestic wind power machine manufacturing sector has nearly 100 companies, the whole machine manufacturing excess capacity, causing the whole machine manufacturer to start a price war, 1.5MW fan price has fallen below 4000 yuan, down to 3800 yuan. The wind power industry, like the photovoltaic industry, also welcomes its own "winter".

The three quarterly reports of listed companies that were recently released have already clearly reflected this signal. The industry leader Huarui Wind Power achieved a net profit of RMB 90.11 billion in the first three quarters of the year, a year-on-year drop of 48%; Xiangdian Electronics achieved a net profit of RMB 126 million in the first three quarters of this year, a year-on-year decrease of 79%; Goldwind's net profit fell by 60 percent in the first three quarters of the year. %.

“Large companies still have book profits, but the capital chain is very tight. Companies like Huarui Wind Power, Goldwind and other listed companies are thinking of ways to make large-scale financing for the winter; the days of SMEs are even more sad, and many companies are In a semi-discontinued state.” A staff member of the Jiangsu Renewable Energy Industry Association told reporters.

Strengthen the innovation rewrite big but not strong status quo <br> <br> good prospects for the industry, the influx of capital, overcapacity, vicious price competition, a large number of business failures exit. The roadmap familiar to the Chinese people is being staged in the field of wind power equipment manufacturing.

Liang Zhipeng, deputy director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, said at a recent wind power forum that the Chinese wind power industry is developing rapidly. The scale of wind power equipment manufacturing is large, but it is large but not strong, and it is technically reliable. The distance between the sex and development level and foreign companies is still worth paying attention.

Liang Zhipeng's remarks are piling on the biggest weakness of China's wind power equipment manufacturing industry. It is understood that although China's wind power equipment manufacturing technology has made considerable progress in the past few years, but in the core technology, key equipment areas, such as fan main bearings and fan control software, the degree of independent innovation is still relatively low, to foreign countries. Technology and equipment are highly dependent.

Professor Dai Xingyi of the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Fudan University stated that the new energy industry must pay attention to it, but it must have long-term plans, especially if it is necessary to form a breakthrough on core technologies before it can truly become competitive on a global scale. "Anyone who has mastered the core technology will have mastered the new energy. Instead of mastering the core technology, he is busy introducing the technology and the production line, and then the production capacity is desperately expanding. This is completely wrong. Many things cannot be solved by scale."

Shi Dingyao, President of the China Renewable Energy Society, also called for the introduction of national wind power equipment standards as soon as possible to guide enterprises in strengthening independent innovation of key technologies and improving overall competitiveness.
