It has a land area of approx. 9.6 million sq km. The Northern part of the Chinese territory starts from the centre of Heilongjiang River, north of Mohe (latitude 53°30’ north) and ends in the south at Zengmu Reef, the southernmost tip of Nansha Islands (latitude 4° north), spanning over 49 degrees; it starts in the east from the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers (longitude 135°05’ east) and ends in the west at the Pamirs (longitude 73°40’ east), spanning over 60 degrees. Both south-north and east-west spans are over 5,000 km. It has land borders 22,800 km long, and 18,000 km coast line with 4.73 million sq km seas. 1.2 Economy China has developed as planned and on a large scale, as a result China is among the countries with the greatest economic potential in the world. The livelihood of Chinese people has been improved and reached a well-off level in general. National Five Year Plans (FYPs) started since 1953 have been accomplished with impressive achievements and paved a sound way for the national economy growth. The reform and opening-up initiated since 1979 has strongly driven China’s economy that is kept steady even after 2000. Elementary socialist market economy mechanism has been established in China, and market has played a better role in resource allocation. The macroeconomic control system

  • LEANING INTO the WIND Building Sustainable Wind Power in China
    LEANING INTO THE WIND Building Sustainable Wind Power in China Lauren Caldwell, Emily Chen, Felix Zhang May 9, 2014 This is one of a series of case studies prepared for the class Case Studies in Sustainable Development: Smart Cities and Urban Innovation. The information presented here is not intended to propose solutions or to make recommendations. Instead, it provides a framework for examining issues affecting urban centers globally through the lens of sustainable development. Leaning into the Wind Introduction South of the Gobi Desert, about 1,200 miles west of Beijing, are vast fields lined with more than 3,500 fiberglass wind turbines.1 Jiuquan prefecture, Gansu province, is located in northwestern China and home to one of China’s latest superlative endeavors. The Jiuquan Wind Power Base is one of several multi-gigawatt megaprojects planned by China’s National Energy Administration to reduce carbon emissions and expand the country’s renewable energy capacity. Upon its completion in 2015, the Jiuquan Wind Power Base will be the largest wind power collective in the world. Investment in renewable energy has become a priority for the Chinese government. Pollution levels in the country have reached an all-time high, prompting concern both domestically and internationally. In January 2013, a report concluded that severe air pollution had reduced average life expectancy by 5.5 years in northern China. The research attributed higher instances of heart disease, cancer, and strokes to toxic air.2 In 2011, about 69 percent of China’s energy consumption was supplied by coal, compared to the world average of about 40 percent.

Comparing the knowledge bases of wind turbine firms in Asia and Europe: patent trajectories, networks, and globalization. Science and Public Policy, 1-16. doi: 10.1093/scipol/scv055 Comparing the knowledge bases of wind turbine firms in Asia and Europe: patent trajectories, networks, and globalisation Yuan Zhou1, Xin Li2, Rasmus Lema3, Frauke Urban4 1 School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 2 School of Economics and Management, Beijing University of Technology, China 3 Department of Business and Management, Aalborg University, Denmark 4 School of Oriental and African Studies SOAS, University of London, UK Abstract This study uses patent analyses to compare the knowledge bases of leading wind turbine firms in Asia and Europe. It concentrates on the following aspects: (a) the trajectories of key technologies, (b) external knowledge networks, and (c) the globalisation of knowledge application. Our analyses suggest that the knowledge bases differ significantly between leading wind turbine firms in Europe and Asia. Europe’s leading firms have broader and deeper knowledge bases than their Asian counterparts. In contrast, Chinese lead firms, with their unidirectional knowledge networks, are highly domestic in orientation with respect to the application of new knowledge. The Indian lead firm Suzlon, however, exhibits a better knowledge position. While our quantitative analyses validate prior qualitative studies it also brings new insights. The study suggests that European firms are still leaders in this industry, and Asian lead firms are unlikely to create new pathways that will disrupt incumbents in the near future.

Inferior power quality introduced by the the private sector. Of the incentives driving this grid/utility (e.g. harmonics) interest, one emerges from financial needs, 2. Erroneous utility readings influenced by today's unstable prices of fossil 3. Failure of equipment fuel. This drives the public and private sectors 4. Failure to utilize systems at maximum in search of alternative, reliable and affordable capacity energy sources.
