Firstly, the situation and challenges of China’s power green development is analyzed. On this basis, the power green development models are categorized into two typical research objects, which are multi-energy synergy mode, represented by integrated energy systems, and multi-energy combination mode with clean energy participation. The key points of the green power development model with the consumption of new energy as the core are reviewed, and then China’s exploration of the power green development system and the latest research results are reviewed.

  • The Economics of Wind Power in China and Policy Implications

Academic Editor: Erik Gawel Received: 6 December 2014 / Accepted: 4 February 2015 / Published: 17 February 2015 Abstract: In 2009, the implementation of feed-in tariff (FIT) and attractive public subsidies for onshore wind farms aroused great investment enthusiasm and spurred remarkable development of wind power in China. Meanwhile, rapid learning-by-doing has significantly cut down the cost of wind turbines and the capital cost of wind farms as well. Therefore, it is the right time to examine the appropriateness of the existing FIT policy for wind power in China. In this paper, we employ the analytical framework for levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) to model the generation cost of wind power. Results show that the existing FIT policy is attractive to investors, but serious curtailment and turbine quality issues could make wind power unprofitable. Meanwhile, rapid substantial decreases in the cost of wind power have made it competitive to coal power in 2013, implying that it is possible and necessary to reform the FIT policy for new wind farms.

  • Decarbonizing China's Power System with Wind Power
    January 2015 Decarbonizing China’s power system with wind power: the past and the future OIES PAPER: EL 11 Xin Li The contents of this paper are the author’s sole responsibility. They do not necessarily represent the views of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies or any of its members. Copyright © 2015 Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (Registered Charity, No. 286084) This publication may be reproduced in part for educational or non-profit purposes without special permission from the copyright holder, provided acknowledgment of the source is made. No use of this publication may be made for resale or for any other commercial purpose whatsoever without prior permission in writing from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. ISBN 978-1-78467-019-1 i Abstract Wind power in China has experienced significant growth since the beginning of this century. Total installed capacity has increased almost 300 fold – from 346 MW in 2000 to 91,413 MW in 2013. This rapid development has had two major drivers: • First, the excellent wind power resource in China, especially in the north of the country, and the increasing competitiveness of wind generation worldwide. • Second, favourable government policies such as: mandatory targets for major power generators in relation to renewable energy; the decentralization of plant approval rights; and feed-in tariffs for wind generation. Along with the development of domestic wind turbine manufacturing capacity, these factors have stimulated the growth of wind power over the past 10 years or so. However, this rapid development has itself created new challenges. In particular, wind power has not been fully integrated into the electricity system as a whole, as the growth of wind generation capacity has not been matched by a corresponding growth in transmission capacity.

The Carbon Trust’s mission is to accelerate the move to a sustainable, low carbon economy. It is a world leading expert on carbon reduction and clean technology. As a not-for-dividend group, it advises governments and leading companies around the world, reinvesting profits into its low carbon mission. The British Embassy in Beijing funded this report. The Embassy is the main British diplomatic mission in China and is responsible for all aspects of the UK’s bilateral relationship with China. Under Ambassador Sebastian Wood's leadership, the Embassy promotes UK interests through a strong, effective relationship with China, covering a diverse range of issues, from bolstering global security to increasing mutual economic prosperity, from establishing stronger people-to-people ties to supporting British nationals in China. Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA) was founded in 1981 as a non-profit social entity, registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People’s Republic of China. CWEA aims to promote the advancement of China’s wind energy technologies, drive the development of China’s wind energy industry and enhance the public awareness of new energy. It helps promote international academic and technical cooperation; provide a bridge between the government and institutions; establish good relationships with domestic and overseas wind societies and cooperate with them; communicate with scientists and engineers closely.
