In 2007, the cumulative installed capacity of global wind power reached 94,100 MW, an increase of 27% from 74,200 MW the previous year. In 2007, China's installed wind power capacity was 6.05 million kilowatts, reaching the target set for 2010 three years ahead of schedule. In the six years from 2001 to 2007, installed wind power capacity in China increased 14-fold in 2007 alone; capacity increased by 344.9%, or 10,000 kilowatts, more than the cumulative total of China's wind power in history. With the rapid development of the wind power industry, the supply of wind power equipment exceeds demand.
In 2006, China had a total of 6,469 wind turbines, of which 21.2% were megawatt-class units. In 2007, this proportion increased to 38.1%, an increase of 16.9 percentage points.
In recent years, wind energy in the marketsEmerging markets have grown rapidly. Under the background of domestic policy support and tight energy supply, China's wind power, especially wind power equipment manufacturing, has also grown rapidly and become the most active place in the world. wind energy in the world. In 2006, 9% of global wind energy funds were invested in China, with a total amount of 1.62 billion euros (about 16.27 billion yuan). In 2007, China's installed wind power capacity ranked fifth in the world.
China's huge wind power market and cheap labor costs have attracted a large number of foreign wind power giants to set up factories in China or establish joint ventures with national companies. The products produced are all labeled “Made in”. China » Label. Wind power equipment products made in China occupy ae growing market share, and wind turbine products are undergoing a transformation from global manufacturing to Chinese manufacturing.
In November 2015, China's largest offshore wind turbine was successfully installed in Pinghai Bay in Putian, Fujian. The wind turbine adopts Xiangdian XE128-5000 model, with a unit capacity of 5 MW, a channel diameter of 128 meters and a hub center height of 81 meters. It belongs to the 50MW offshore wind power project in Pinghaiwan, Putian, Fujian.
