Description
As the largest developing country, China has experienced a fast economic growth in the past 20 years, accompanied with tremendous increase in the country's energy consumption. In the electricity sector, it is projected that the electricity demand of the country will have an average growth rate of 7.6% per year during 2004-2015, which is much higher than the world average of 3.3% during the same period. The huge energy demands call for sustainable as well as environmental friendly energy solution for China and the government thus approved the Renewable Energy Law in place from January 1st, 2006 , which set up the national goal of 30GW installed wind capacity by 2020.
In order to enhance the sustainable use of wind energy in China, Danida is supporting and financing a program titled Danish-Chinese Wind Energy Development Programme (WED), through knowledge transfer and capacity building at central and provincial levels. WED is a 3-year programme with a budget of 45 million DKK in addition to a Chinese contribution provided in kind. WED has designated 3 provinces in the North-Eastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning) as a target and pilot area for activities. The main contents of WED include wind energy planning, supporting institutes of expertise and training of stakeholders. There are 3 major parts namely resource assessment, feasibility study, and grid integration, those will be implemented by 3 central level organizations/institutions respectively responsible for both the central level and provincial level at Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. CET at Technical University of Denmark is participating in the Project Component led by China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI), concerning national grid integration code and integration studies for the pilots projects.
