Introducing 50MK wind power project in Wu Lan Cha Bu, Inner Mongolia
by Inner Mongolia Conjunction Wind Power Company
Introduction
Using
wind power as an alternative energy has existed in our lives for
centuries. Because the wind technology has improved tremendously
since the past decades these extremely simple designed turbines
produce the reliability and performance of the wind generated electricity.
The wind power’s most important benefit is that the more
energy generated by wind farms, the less energy generated by burning
fossil fuels. To generate the same amount of electricity as a single
1.5 megawatt (MW) wind turbine over 20 years would require burning
enough coal to fill a line of 10 ton trucks more than 16 miles
long. Today carbon emissions and other pollutants on the earth
are big concern for our societies. Germany, the U.S., Spain, and
India are the leading wind power markets in the world. The total
European wind power capacity is expected to reach 39618 MW by the
end of 2005, up from 12935 MW in the year 2000, and is projected
to grow to 69695 MW in 2021. New wind power markets enter boom
phases. While the Chinese government is aiming to build 20 gigawatts
of wind power by the year 2020, China is likely to overtake Germany,
Spain and the US to be the top wind user.
The electric
rates increase because of the rising cost of natural gas has made the wind
power more attractive economically.
The
good site, enough wind, and the right machine are the technical keys for using
the wind successfully. The government policy measures have played an important
role in development, deployment and commercialization of the renewable energy
technologies. What makes this wind power project attractive is its geographical
location with rich wind resource and the State and local government favor policies.
