Ma Xuelu: Wind power tariff subsidy policy releases positive signals

The State Electricity Regulatory Commission recently released the "Wind Power Safety Supervision Report," said that during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China's wind power installed capacity doubled for five consecutive years, becoming the world's largest installed wind power scale. It is estimated that by 2015, China's wind power capacity will reach 100 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation will reach 190 billion kilowatt-hours, and the proportion of wind power generation in the national power generation will exceed 3%.

Shi Yubo, vice chairman of the China Electricity Regulatory Commission, stated that in order to promote the sustainable development of wind power, the Electricity Regulatory Commission will actively cooperate with relevant departments to research and formulate power price subsidies for peaking and adjustable frequency power, peak on-grid on-grid tariffs, distributed wind power on-grid tariffs, and other guidance on pricing policies. Industrial policies for local consumption of wind power.

“The wind power tariff subsidy policy has released a positive signal.” Ma Xuelu, vice president of the China Wind Energy Association, said in an interview with reporters that these measures will lead to more rationalization of grid layout and will promote the acceptance of wind power by the grid.

The report shows that as of the end of August 2011, there are 29 provinces that have established wind farms nationwide and 486 wind farms that operate on the grid, with an installed capacity of 39.24 million kilowatts and 13.97 million kilowatts of wind capacity under construction. Among them, wind power installed capacity in nine provinces including Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Gansu exceeded 1 million kilowatts.

It is worth noting that the report pointed out that since the last year, the failures of wind turbines in our country have occurred frequently and are on the rise. In 2010, 80 wind turbine generators were netted off the country; in January-August 2011, 193 wind turbine generators were netted off the grid.

In this regard, the chief engineer of the Electricity Regulatory Commission, Yang Kun, said that although the installed capacity of wind power has increased rapidly, there is no overall planning for wind power construction in China, and the technical level and product quality of wind power equipment still need to be improved. In addition, the lag in wind power grid-connected technology standards and monitoring work, weak design, construction, operation, and dispatch management of wind farms have become key factors that restrict the safe development of wind power.

According to the report, the Electricity Regulatory Commission will promote the formulation of administrative regulations and policies that are compatible with the "Renewable Energy Law," formulate a sustained and stable wind power tariff subsidy policy, and increase the timeliness of tariff subsidies.

Among them, in order to promote the full-scale acquisition of wind power, the tariff subsidy policy of peaking and frequency modulation Power Supply and the compensation standard for wind power access system project cost will be formulated; to promote the acceptance of wind power, the decentralized wind power on-grid tariff and the power supply side peak and valley will be formulated. The electricity price and the user side can interrupt the load price.

In addition, in order to solve the problem of difficulties in dispelling wind power and transporting long-distance transmission in wind power concentrated development regions, the Electricity Regulatory Commission will promote the formulation of industrial policies, encourage the development of comparative advantage industries in the western region where wind power resources are abundant, and dissipate some wind power on the spot. In order to increase the capacity of the power grid for peaking and frequency regulation, the construction of gas-fired power stations for hydropower, pumped-storage power stations and coastal economically developed regions will be accelerated. In order to coordinate the construction of wind farms and power grids and improve the efficiency of wind power development and utilization, the wind power supply will be sent to the synchronous planning and construction of transmission lines.

Ma Xuelu pointed out that the state should pay more attention to the development and application of wind power technology while carrying out price subsidies.

He said that the current mainstream of China's wind power technology is still in Europe. However, due to the wide temperature difference between China's climate and Europe, large wind and sand, and drastic changes in wind conditions, we should develop wind turbines and blades suitable for China's climate, and further increase The safety and reliability of large-scale wind power grid operation.
