subject: Wind Power Equipment Demand In Business To Flex Its Muscles - Wind Power Equipment - Machine Tool [print this page] Downstream wind industry currently needs more strong, data shows that since 2009 China's wind power market is not much affected by the financial crisis, so the year more than 13,750 megawatts of new scale, an increase of about 124% . It is estimated that the total global wind power installed capacity is expected to triple in the next five years to 447 GW in ten years and may be extended to nearly 1000 million kilowatts.
Wind power equipment in the development process, the trend of continuous product upgrades more prominent. Compared to the single land-based wind power capacity will be more offshore wind power. Currently widely used in Europe is 3MW-5MW models. Upgrading capacity also means that stand-alone higher prices, stand-alone profitability rise with mean wind power equipment industry will face greater structural opportunities, industry leaders will share the cake more incremental market share.
Both land-based wind farm's construction and the construction of offshore wind power, wind power facilities are to bring a lot of opportunities, wind power equipment company who can win, only to see their own ability has.
Chinese and foreign enterprises competing to compete in wind power equipment
In the wind power industry chain, wind power equipment manufacturing is the most important aspect of the upstream equipment to provide raw materials for the downstream use of equipment and electric power transmission to the user. Upstream industrial chain, including: steel, nonferrous metals, composites, electronic components. Downstream industry chain enterprises to large state-owned power generation and energy investors, the main group.
Wind power equipment manufacturers, including wind power machine manufacturers and key components supporting enterprises, the wind turbine is a wind power system, the most important part of the cost of wind power accounts for about 70% of construction investment. At present the machine to achieve large-scale production units are mainly manufacturers Goldwind, Sinovel, Dongfang Steam Turbine. National policy support, wind turbine manufacturers significant progress. State of the local fan manufacturers will continue to support the policies, foreign companies will become more competitive.
Set of high-tech wind power industry, manufacturing, renewable energy and other edge in a line with national industrial policy. As the state and enterprises increase the introduction of wind power technology research and development efforts, future technological level of domestic equipment will gradually approach the international advanced level, long-term to maintain market share dominance and ability to participate in international competition.
Industry leader in supporting the active participation of the international market competition, may be taken to provide export credits, foreign aid projects and the advantages of wind power company, the domestic means of binding to encourage export of domestically produced wind power equipment.
International fan manufacturing giants also attaches great importance to the Chinese market, have set the layout. Vestas said the fans in China this year, 3.0 billion investment in manufacturing, the V60-850 Fan is defined as "a specifically tailored for the Chinese market fan." Years, China will set up offshore wind power business office. May 22, 2009, Siemens wind turbine blades (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. to enter the Chinese high-profile offshore wind power market, the investment reached 581 million yuan.
Competition for offshore wind power equipment, wind power business
At the same time enjoy good market growth, how to protect the stability margin is the wind power equipment manufacturers face a problem.
Industry sources say the current price of wind power equipment close to the bottom line, and then decline is likely to harm the normal development of the industry. He said that the current existence of the domestic wind power equipment "heavy weight quality not quantity", "vicious low bid" and cause for concern, because of wind farm equipment, quality problems affecting the normal operation of the examples abound Therefore, the wind farm investors, procurement of equipment not only to see the price when the quality is not important.
In addition to scaling, compression management costs and other traditional ways to reduce costs, ensure gross margin growth, a lot of wind power equipment manufacturers turn their attention to the expected high margin offshore wind power market.
Compared to onshore wind power equipment market, fierce competition, offshore wind power to higher barriers to entry, while the higher electricity price, it can tolerate higher equipment costs, therefore, market entrants are expected for some time at the beginning higher gross margins within. This consensus has also led to land-based wind power equipment manufacturers Xiaojiannaodai into offshore wind power, "Arena."
