German Association calls for vigorous development of wind power and active development of the Chinese market

Germany's "Le Monde" reported on April 6: Albus, president of the German Wind Energy Association, said at the Hannover Industrial Fair a few days ago that wind power in Germany can easily replace nuclear power, but the adjustment of energy structure cannot be achieved overnight. It takes two to three years. To be completed, the government should introduce specific measures to encourage the development of wind power. Albos said that 8% of the land in Germany can be used for the development of wind power, plus 22% of the available area for forests and protected areas. With the advancement of turbine technology, 3 MW wind turbines will become the standard configuration, and the efficiency of wind turbines will increase by 1% for each additional metre of windmills. Therefore, the Wind Power Association requires that wind turbine construction be heightened, and at the same time, expand the storage equipment. A study conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy Systems Technology (IWES) shows that wind power can meet at least 65% of Germany's electricity demand, and the development potential has the greatest potential in the larger Nande region. For example, the current wind power installation capacity in Bavaria is 520 MW, and the potential for wind power development in the region is up to 41,000 MW.

According to the report of the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA), the current market for wind power equipment is shifting towards Asia. Wind power equipment manufacturing in China and India accounts for more than half of the world market. Among the top ten wind turbine generator manufacturers in the world, there are four Chinese companies and one Indian company, and only one German company. Ritchieich, general manager of German wind power company Nordex, said that China is an important position for German manufacturers and suppliers. If China does not liberalize market access conditions for international brands, wind power companies will It should set up factories in China. The era of European companies’ exports has passed and they must compete in overseas markets.
