protect the grassland ecological environment, but also to meet the new rural areas and new pastoral construction of energy needs.
Wind power industry development status
Wind energy in Inner Mongolia can be utilized in about 80% of the area, the longest continuous invalid wind speed hours less than 100 hours, with wind energy-rich areas and richer areas of a large area, a wide range of distribution, the wind energy grade stability, continuity of the advantages of a high degree of continuity, coupled with a number of policies in Inner Mongolia to enjoy the support of the State, the cost of acquisition of land is cheap, the development of wind power in Inner Mongolia has a unique advantage. Development of wind power in Inner Mongolia has unique conditions. As of the end of 2005, the region's large-scale grid-connected wind power installed capacity of 17 million kilowatts, the new construction of wind power projects installed capacity of 96.21 million kilowatts. The reporter learned from the Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission, Inner Mongolia has been the construction of national wind power base into the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" wind power development plan: plans to put into production 5 million kilowatts of wind power generation facilities, by 2010 the region's installed capacity of wind power will reach 5.17 million kilowatts, reaching the region's total installed capacity of 7.5% of the power.
According to the Inner Mongolia Energy Office responsible person, the current development of wind power in Inner Mongolia is the main obstacle to the development of wind power equipment, most of which need to be imported from abroad, resulting in the high cost of power generation, restricting the wind power energy industry's deep-rooted development. "Eleventh Five-Year" period, the country's investment in the development of wind power of 500 million yuan, there will be about 400 million yuan for imported equipment. Manufacturing level of wind power equipment is an important measure of the high level of industrialization of wind energy utilization. Inner Mongolia Zhu Ri and wind farms and Huitengxile wind farms can be called the top level of China's wind power family, the unit is equipped with almost exclusively imported from the United States, Denmark and other countries. In order to change the basic equipment is overly dependent on foreign imports of the status quo, "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, Inner Mongolia will take steps to wind power facilities to drive the scale of construction of the localization of wind power equipment, ready to carry out cooperation with domestic and foreign enterprises with the strength of the local wind turbine manufacturing base, to achieve the local production of wind power equipment. Localized production of wind power equipment, and strive to make localized equipment to reach 70% of the total equipment.
Wind power project "wind up clouds"
Since the second half of last year, Inner Mongolia wind power construction boom, there are more than 200 companies ready to wind power industry. Among them, Chifeng City, Xilingol League, Ulanqab City and other areas of wind power development has come to the fore. According to the meteorological department estimates, Chifeng City, wind energy resources of 10,000 square kilometers, easy to develop wind energy resources in more than 10 million kilowatts, the city **** there are 106 wind turbines, installed capacity of 8.016 million kilowatts. Relevant experts, Kekchi's Dali, Saihanba, Wengqi's Lantern River, the right flag of the Wengen Mountain and Aohan Banner of the new Hui and other places have the conditions for the construction of large-scale wind farms, in Chifeng City, investment in the development or measurement of the wind of the city there are 18 domestic and foreign companies, wind power has become the city's economic development of a new point of growth.
It is understood that Chifeng City has signed a million kilowatts of wind farm construction and development agreements with Datang Corporation, and to maintain an annual growth rate of 100,000 kilowatts. Among them, Dongshan Wind Farm Phase I project started in May this year, the construction scale for 58 sets of 850 kilowatts of wind turbines and the corresponding ancillary facilities, in August can be connected to the grid. Several other wind power development projects have entered the intense wind measurement and construction phase. Chifeng City plans to complete by 2010 to focus on the development and construction of eight large-scale 100,000 kilowatts of wind farms, with a total installed capacity of 1.5 million kilowatts of large-scale wind power construction scale.
Xilingol League has one of China's four major grasslands, Xilingol prairie, the region is in the westerly wind belt, the westerly winds strengthened step by step. The annual average wind speed is between 3.5-5.3 meters / s, the alliance's wind energy storage capacity of 158 megawatts, the effective power density of 522-1615 kilowatt hours / square meter - year. In Xilin Gol League, the more developed economy, power grid construction conditions are better in Xiwuqi, including one of the world's largest wind power generation company, including Ireland, Anzui company, including four domestic and foreign-funded enterprises stationed in the region, and the local government signed an agreement on the development of wind power has been built one after another to start the wind tower wind measurement.
Xilinhot City and Abaga Banner junction of gray Tengliang area, an installed capacity of 300,000 kilowatts of large-scale wind power projects, more than 10 domestic and foreign companies are participating in the bidding, is the Ximen League this year, one of the many wind power projects to be launched. Wind power projects to be built this year there are 14 companies wind power construction projects, the total installed capacity of the project will reach 1 million kilowatts, the total investment is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan.
Located in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, Ulanqab City is located on the plateau, with more than 600 square kilometers of effective wind farm area. This year, the construction of wind power projects total installed capacity of 26.21 million kilowatts, wind power installed capacity reached a total of 53.41 million kilowatts. The city has built wind power project installed capacity of 7.21 million kilowatts, of which, Chayuzhong Banner Huitengxile wind farm 6.85 million kilowatts, has become the largest wind farm in the autonomous region, ranking second in the country. In the construction of a world-class large-scale wind farm, the planning of installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, was listed as the national development and construction of national key wind farms. The city under the jurisdiction of 7 counties and 21 companies at home and abroad signed a wind power construction projects 22, with a total installed capacity of 11 million kilowatts, a total investment of 89.2 billion yuan. A new wind power energy base is taking root in Ulanqab.
In addition, east to Hulunbeier City, with a total investment of 8 billion yuan of new right flag Guohua wind power plant a project, west to Bayannur City, with an installed capacity of 300,000 kilowatts of the Ulat Houqi wind power plant project has started construction. So far, throughout Inner Mongolia's wind power network to form a certain scale, industrialization pattern prototype came to the fore.
Cracking the bottleneck in the development of wind power
Inner Mongolia, "this side of the scenery is unique", attracting many investors to come. But some experts warn that the wind power industry under the surface of the prosperity is still hidden policy support is not enough, the domestic wind power equipment production technology is backward and many other constraints bottlenecks. On the one hand, the price of wind power is one of the main factors affecting the rapid development of wind power industry. At present, the wind power feed-in tariffs to implement government-guided price, tariff standards in accordance with the price of bidding to determine the formation. Inner Mongolia wind power in 2005, the average feed-in tariff of about 0.5 yuan, per kilowatt hour is still higher than the thermal power price of about 0.2 yuan, and wind power higher than the thermal power tariff difference needs to be equalized in the western power grid, the development of clean energy in Inner Mongolia wind power industry to the enterprise backed by a heavy burden. On the other hand, the low level of localization of power generation equipment, hindering the development of China's wind power industry. Domestic wind power equipment is basically monopolized by imported equipment, the international mainstream models of megawatt-class units in China is still in the development stage. Because of the wind power generation equipment about 70% dependent on imports, resulting in high power generation costs.
In addition, supporting the lagging power grid construction is also a potential crisis in the development of wind power industry. Some industry insiders say, to build a scale wind farm in remote areas where the power grid construction is relatively backward, the need for supporting grid engineering projects. And the construction of 500 kV transmission lines, on average, every 100 kilometers will require 3.5 billion yuan, such a huge investment in the grid for wind farm investors, obviously not realistic. How to solve the wind farms and grid standards, in the case of wind power into the grid is difficult to predict exactly how to ensure grid security, etc., are at this stage of the industry to demonstrate the hotspot and all levels of government must face the problem.
