Inner Mongolia wind power installed capacity excess destiny doubt

As a renewable and clean energy source, wind power has occupied its own place in the global energy layout. Although the development of China's wind power industry was relatively late, it still created three large-scale wind farms of 10 million kilowatts, including the Gansu Hexi Corridor, the northern Jiangsu coast, and Inner Mongolia. This is gradually becoming known as the wind power Three Gorges. Once these three large wind farms are completed, China will become the world's largest wind power producer.

However, at the same time as the rapid development of wind power construction, it is accompanied by a huge controversy over the lack of wind, electricity and electricity, and even overcapacity. According to public statistics, as of June 2013, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China has reached 66.5 million kWh. At present, the effective utilization rate of wind power equipment in China is only 67%, which is equivalent to the waste of 21.945 million kilowatts of wind power per hour. According to a year's data conversion, the wasted electricity can almost guarantee the electricity demand of the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region for one year. What are the reasons for the huge amount of waste in wind power? What are the real difficulties in the development of China's wind power industry? Our reporter from Financial Channel went to Inner Mongolia, known as the “Capital of Wind Power”, and conducted an investigation.

Wulanchabu in central Inner Mongolia boasts a prairie with abundant wind resources. Over the years, it has attracted a large number of wind power investment projects. When the reporter visited the wind power planning area, he saw that several wind farms were under construction. Wu Yongxin, secretary of the municipal party committee of Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia, said: In the next 20 years, Ulanqab’s long-term plan will have a capacity of 33 million kilowatts. Therefore, in this sense, we propose to build the Three Gorges of the sky to create a goal for wind power. .


The wind farm construction workers in Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia, said: The 120 wind turbines of ours will be installed and put into production in November of the end of this year. This is 120,000 kilowatts, which is equivalent to the installed capacity of two Huitengxile wind farms of the year.

According to the reporter’s understanding, there are 20 power projects under construction or planned to be built in Wulanchabu City, of which 13 are thermal power and 7 are wind power. In order to turn wind resources into waste as early as possible, the wishes of the project are particularly urgent.

There is more than one city in Inner Mongolia that wants to build a city of wind. Open the map of Inner Mongolia. We see the Gobi in Alashan in the west and Hulunbeier prairie in the east. Three quarters of the entire area of ​​Inner Mongolia is full of wind farms. Figure.

The reporter was in Hangjinqi, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. Here is the famous Yiwuwusu wind farm. This is a wind turbine with a height of 60 to 70 meters. Its power generation capacity is 1500 kWh, which means that the wind turbine continues. One hour of power generation is 1500 kWh. There are 33 such windmills in this wind farm, which means that the installed capacity of this wind farm is close to 50,000 kilowatts, and wind farms like this have already been built in this place. 5 seats.

Yang Xiaochun, head of Inner Mongolia Yiwu Wusu Taomu Rimu Wind Power Plant, told reporters: On December 23, 2011, our wind farm was formally put into operation. A total of 33 1,500 kW generating units are now in phase one and have been put into production... Wind farm planning is 300,000 kilowatts. In fact, our plan should be (construction) six issues.

Shen Xiaoli, head of the Global Manufacturing Online Purchasing Platform, told the reporter: According to a recent survey conducted by us, the procurement of infrastructure equipment for wind power equipment in China has grown by more than 30% during the past five years. Take this year, the whole This year's procurement exceeded 50 billion yuan.

According to statistics, as of June 2013, the installed capacity of wind power in Inner Mongolia Power Grid was the first among the provincial power grids in the country to exceed 10 million, reaching 10.04 million kilowatts, and the maximum daily on-board electricity was 120 million kwh, accounting for 33% of the total. Renewed the nation's highest record of wind power on-grid.

Avoiding the 50,000-kilowatt approving threshold, Inner Mongolia’s wind power is “49,500 kilowatts”

When you see a large-scale wind power project like Inner Mongolia, many people's first impression is definitely that wind power is a cash cow, otherwise it will not be so fast, but what is the actual situation?

Yang Xiaochun, head of Inner Mongolia’s Yihe Wusutao Nippon Wind Power Plant, told the reporter: “Our total power supply load last year was more than 27 million kilowatts (kW). That’s what it looks like... If you add a national subsidy by 50%, it should be More than 10 million bars.

27 million kWh of electricity, if calculated by 5 kWh, a total of 13.5 million yuan of income, and more than 10 million renminbi a year, does it mean that it makes a lot of money?

Yang Xiaochun, head of Inner Mongolia’s Yihe Wusutao Nippon Wind Power Plant, said: “Our investment is about 490 million yuan.” The reporter asked: What time is it expected to recover the investment?

Yang Xiaochun said: According to the estimation, the average wind field is 20 years.

The investment of 490 million yuan, and the annual sales income of 13.5 million yuan, as calculated, is only to recover the initial investment cost of 490 million yuan, and it will take at least 36 years, far exceeding the 20-year planning period. In spite of this, the next 300,000-kilowatt plan for this wind farm has been reported, and it is expected to build six electric fields of the same size in the future. When looking at these wind power projects under construction and unbuilt, the reporter noticed a figure that has repeatedly appeared, that is, 49,500 kilowatts.

Yang Xiaochun, head of Inner Mongolia’s Yihe Wusutao Rimu Wind Farm, said: The plan is 300,000 kilowatts. Actually, if we want to press 49,500 kilowatts, it should be six periods, all 4.95, if there is no other policy (change) If we do, we plan to follow this pattern.

Wang Xiaoping, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the New Energy Industry Demonstration Zone in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, said: The project will be approved by the National Energy Administration for more than 50,000 kilowatts. Our idea is to facilitate the development of our new energy and to decentralize the approval authority. Wind power projects with a capacity of more than 50,000 kilowatts must be examined and approved by the national energy authority. Wind power projects below 50,000 kilowatts must be approved by the local government only after the National Development and Reform Commission files the record. In order to meet this requirement, some companies have split the investment project into several small projects with an installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts or less in order to start the project as soon as possible, thus forming a well-known "49,500 kilowatts" in the domestic wind power industry.

In Iraq and Wusu Wind Farm, five wind farms have been built with a total installed capacity of 250,000 kilowatts. These are the smallest ones. According to local plans, by 2017, four years later, this place will have The establishment of 1 million kilowatts of wind power installed capacity is equivalent to the expansion of 15 wind farms. What will happen to these built-up wind farms and soon-to-be-built wind farms in the face of the ever-increasing surplus of wind power in Inner Mongolia? What's the fate?

The concept of ultra-high pressure is very full. The reality is very slick. According to the requirements of the National Eleventh Five-Year Plan, the installed capacity of wind power in China reached 5 million kilowatts in 2010, and by 2010, that is, the actual installed capacity of wind power in Inner Mongolia only in the last year of the Eleventh Five-year Plan. It reached 8.7 million kilowatts, far exceeding the national overall plan; the national indicator for Inner Mongolia in the 12th Five-Year Plan is 21 million kilowatts, while the 12th Five-Year Plan in Inner Mongolia shows that the installed capacity of wind power will reach 33 million kilowatts. This figure exceeds the installed capacity of the Three Gorges and is also higher than the national target. Why does the wind power project in Inner Mongolia exceed the national targets and what will these additional wind power projects face?

Han Xiaoping, chief information officer of China Energy Network, said: When a local power plant is built, it does not consider who this power will ultimately be sold to. Then, as long as the project is on line, even if it cannot be sold, it does not matter to me. At least this project has already been done. I already With real GDP,

What worries the experts is that more and more wind farms have fallen into a vicious circle where electricity cannot be delivered and no money is made.

Zhang Fusheng, general manager of Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group, told reporters: (Inner Mongolia) surplus of more than 10 million thermal power installations, coupled with 30% of wind power can not contribute, can not be fully utilized, it lost nearly 70 billion kWh of electricity.

Li Junfeng, director of the National Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association's Renewable Energy Professional Committee, said: I estimate that the amount of electricity that will be discarded this year will be at least 20 to 25 billion kWh, or even more, and may exceed 30 billion kWh.

This was the word that was heard many times during the reporter’s interview. According to the reporter’s understanding, the heating power supply in Inner Mongolia was dominated by coal in winter, and the wind farm had to be shut down. The stoppage was four or five months. Nevertheless, Local wind power construction also runs so fast. Where is the future?

Wang Xiaoping, Party Secretary of the New Energy Industry Demonstration Zone in Erdos City, Inner Mongolia, told this reporter: From Ordos to Changsha, planning a UHV to send electric power from west to west to Mengxi is an idea UHV, which means a kind of With ultra-high voltage and large-capacity long-distance transmission technologies, the 12th Five-Year Plan clearly proposes to build “three vertical and three horizontal” UHV backbone grids, of which two vertical and horizontal lines all use Inner Mongolia as the origin. It is to see the potential huge demand for UHV plans. The wind farms in Inner Mongolia will dare to start up fast. However, can this UHV really solve the problem of outflow of wind power in Inner Mongolia?

Zhang Fusheng, general manager of Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group Corporation, said: If you, for example, construct an UHV or construct an ultra-high voltage, construct an UHV AC or construct an UHV DC, then for nearly five years, you have been arguing for a long time. No one has yet come up with the results of a controversy.

Han Xiaoping, chief information officer of China Energy Network, said: UHV investment is very large, which means that we originally purchased these electricity is already 5 to 1 6 hair, and then after such a long-distance electricity Trek, hundreds of kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers, and then transported to the load area, this investment may be astronomical figures, electricity prices may also be unacceptable to any of our users.
