The Wind Power Industry : An Overview, Major Issues and Strategies Adopted with Specific Reference to India

With the increase in awareness about protecting our environment and the support for the cause by all major economies of the world through the Kyoto Protocol, the importance of wind power has grown in stature since it is clean and the most viable renewable energy resource. The global annual market of new wind turbine installation is more than US$ 40 billion at current prices, considering world-wide installations of about 40000 MW annually. This paper reviews the growth of the wind power industry globally as well as in India. The opportunities for investment in this industry and problems associated with it are also discussed with specific reference to India. In the second part of this paper, the business model of two of the major wind turbine manufacturers of India, Suzlon Energy Limited, and Enercon India Limited are discussed and their strategies are compared.

With the incentive and supporting policy of the government, wind power industry has experienced swift development and gradually moved towards maturity in China. In this paper, we review the status of the wind power industry in China from a supply chain perspective, there is mismatching between upstream and downstream. In the upstream the production capacity takes the lead but the R&D capability is weak in the world. In the downstream the speed of wind farm development is fastest in the world but the capacity of wind power integration and absorption is restricting the utilization and development of wind farm. We analyze the issues with the supply chain from a macroscopic view and the policy recommendations for optimizing the development of wind power in China are proposed.

Due to the energy supply and demand imbalance and unreasonable energy consumption structure, China should vigorously develop renewable energy. Wind power is important choice. In the past decade, the China wind power industry has developed rapidly. By 2012, the total installed capacity of wind power in China is 75324.2MW. China has become the largest installer of wind power capacity in the world. However, the wind power in also facing many problems. In this paper, analyzes wind power industry’s internal and external environments to identify opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses. Finally, put forward an appropriate strategy to promote the healthy and orderly development of the wind power industry.

Wind Power Industry

Compared to nuclear power, wind power has a short construction period, high security, rich in resources and other advantages; compared to photovoltaic power generation, wind power has the power and low cost advantages. Over the past five years, benefit from the support of the localization rate and other policies, the average annual wind power in China compound growth rate of 101%, wind power industry chain upstream parts manufacturing localization, spindle bearings, control systems also need to be imported; midstream machine manufacturing market dominated by domestic-funded enterprises; downstream wind power operators also see five power generation groups, led by the central enterprises the wind turbine increasing unit capacity of 1.5MW and above the level of wind turbine occupy a major share of the market, the development of wind power is inseparable from the support of the policy. Offshore wind power has high feed-in tariff, high throughput advantage of offshore wind power will become a growth point of the wind power industry in the future.

Industry Competitiveness

As a kind of new green renewable energy, wind power is being paid more attention to by the countries in the world. Wind energy resource is rich in Hebei Province, and wind energy has great potential, so it is important for energy sustainable development, harmonious development of social economy and ecological environment to develop and utilize wind power in Hebei Province. In order to analyze the wind power industry competitiveness in Hebei Province scientifically and accurately, this paper introduced the tree-structured growing self-organizing map network (TGSMN) into the spatial data mining (SDM) to be used in spatial clustering. This method not only can make up the limitation of the more data limit and biggish computation in the common spatial data mining, but overcome the restriction of traditional maps that must appoint in advance. The wind power industry competitiveness evaluation in Hebei Province showed that the results given by this method are reliable.

Combined Impact

China's economic rise has transformed the global economy in a number of manufacturing industries. This paper investigates whether China's transformative influence extends to the new green economy. Drawing on the debate about how China is driving major economic changes in the world – the “Asian drivers” debate – it identifies five corridors of influence and investigates their relevance for the wind energy industries. Starting with the demand side, it suggests that the size and rapid growth of the Chinese market have a major influence on competitive parameters in the global wind power industry. While Western firms have found ways of participating in the growth of the Chinese market, the government's procurement regimes benefit Chinese firms. The latter have invested heavily and learned fast, accumulating production capabilities that have led to changes in the global pecking order of lead firms. While the combined impact of Chinese market and production power is already visible, other influences are beginning to be felt – arising from China's coordination, innovation and financing power.
