Is there a one-type-fit-all wind turbine in China?

State Grid Energy Research Institute. Outlook of Energy and Electricity Development in China. Beijing, China; 2019. While there is no one-type-fit-all wind turbine that accurately represents electricity generation at all the sites, China’s site-specific wind turbine information is not available.

What is the capacity factor of a wind turbine in China?

The capacity factor of an onshore wind turbine in North China and Northeast China’ sites can be up to 0.5, which is equivalent to more than 4000 h a year of electric power generation at full installed capacity. The total area of land with wind capacity factors greater than 0.3 exceeds 400,000 km 2 which is more than 4% of China’s land.

How much power does China's wind farm produce?

Expressed in terms of total generation, China's installed base of wind farms produced 410.6 TWh of power from 2006–2013 but could have produced a total of 1345.0 TWh over this period if farms had been installed and operated at maximum technical efficiency. Here we discuss country-level drivers of the shortfall in generation.

What is the GR of wind power in China?

As a result, since 2000, the average annual GR of WP globally and in China has been 21.64% and 42.82%, respectively. The GR of WP in China is almost twice that of wind power worldwide. Fig. 3. Installed capacity of WP in China and globally: 2001–2018.

Is wind power a good option for China?

Wind power is considered one of the most promising options to grow the share of low-carbon power generation in China (McElroy ). To this end, China has set in its 13th Five-Year Plan the target to reach 210 GW of grid-connected wind capacity by 2020 (China National Energy Administration ).

Does China have an onshore wind energy resource potential?

With the same dataset, McElroy et al. assessed onshore wind electricity generation potential in China. Davidson et al. estimated that the wind energy resource potential in China is as high as 26.4 PWh but only 17.8 PWh could be developed economically.
