China's PV cell output accounts for 50% of the world's total in 2010

Compared with China's GDP growth of 10.3% year-on-year in 2010, China's new energy sector has also developed in the past 2010. In 2010, wind power and solar energy, the areas of most concern for new energy, have achieved rapid development. Among them, 16 million kilowatts of new wind power installed capacity was installed, and the total installed capacity of wind power reached 41.827 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world; photovoltaic cell production. Up to 8G watts, accounting for 50% of the world's total production, ranking first in the world. Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Department of Renewable Energy and New Energy of the National Energy Administration, revealed that in the forthcoming “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, renewable energy including wind energy and solar energy will occupy a more important strategic position.

Wind power: Ten years later, equivalent to the latest statistical data of 13 Three Gorges Power Stations, by the end of 2010, China’s annual wind power generation capacity reached 16 million kilowatts, and the cumulative installed capacity reached 41.627 million kilowatts. For the first time, it surpassed the United States and ranked first in the world. . According to data from the Global Wind Energy Association, as of the end of 2010, new installed capacity of wind power in the United States was about 5 million kilowatts, which totaled 40.2 million kilowatts.

Li Junfeng, secretary general of the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association’s Renewable Energy Professional Committee, pointed out that in the context of rapid economic growth and increasing electricity demand, the rapid development of wind power has met China’s challenge of diversifying its energy structure, environmental protection, and energy conservation and emission reduction. Play an irreplaceable role. According to China's current total installed capacity of 41.827 million kilowatts of wind power, equivalent to 31.29 million tons of annual alternative coal consumption, thereby reducing more than 90 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, while also reducing nearly 33,000 tons of suspended particulate matter, 64,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 60,000 tons of nitrogen oxides.

It is reported that as of now, 24 provinces and cities have built wind farms in China, and large-scale national wind power bases in Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Gansu have entered a rapid growth stage. The Donghai Bridge offshore wind farm was also put into operation in Shanghai in 2010 and became the largest offshore wind farm except in Europe. In terms of fan production, four Chinese companies entered the world's top ten wind power equipment manufacturing industries in 2010 and began exporting overseas.

Authoritative organizations predict that by 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China can reach 230 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to 13 Three Gorges power stations; the total power generation capacity can reach 464.9 billion kwh, equivalent to replacing 200 thermal power plants.

Photovoltaic cells: The output accounts for 50% of the world's rapid development in 2010, and China's global photovoltaic cell production status has further consolidated. Zhao Yuwen, deputy director of the China Renewable Energy Society and director of the photovoltaic branch, said that China's PV solar cell production in 2010 is expected to reach 8Gwatts, accounting for 50% of the world's total production, ranking first in the world. In 2009, this proportion was still 40%. From a global perspective, global solar cell production in 2010 is expected to reach 15.8 Gwatts, an increase of 48.2% year-on-year; and the installed installed capacity of solar power generation is 12.5Gwatts, an increase of 58.2% year-on-year.

Compared to wind power's main attack on the domestic market, China's photovoltaic solar cells are mainly export-oriented. Statistical data show that China's photovoltaic cells have been exported to more than 90% of the country's overseas, including Germany and Spain. In terms of the domestic market, China's 2010 photovoltaic power generation market is expected to have a total installed capacity of approximately 380 MW, which accounts for 3% of the total installed capacity in the world. The market has a small start-up effort and the development is still very slow. It is not well adapted to the demand.

However, this situation is expected to gradually improve. On December 2, 2010, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the four ministries and commissions of the National Energy Administration held joint meetings to mobilize and deploy the organization and implementation of the Golden Sun demonstration project and the demonstration project of solar photovoltaic building applications. The list of the first 13 demonstration areas for concentrated application of photovoltaic power generation was announced. The four ministries and commissions expressed the hope that by increasing subsidies, increasing the number of demonstration areas, and ensuring that the project will run on the grid and other measures, we will expedite the promotion of large-scale application of domestic photovoltaic power generation, and strive to have a domestic application scale of no less than 1,000 megawatts per year after 2012. Deputy Minister of Finance Zhang Shaochun pointed out that "this is a strong signal, we must strongly start the domestic market, so that the share of photovoltaic power generation in the country's energy supply increased significantly."

At the National Energy Work Conference held earlier this month, Zhang Guobao, former director of the National Energy Administration (retired on January 10 this year, Zhang Guobao) stated that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, it will be located in suitable areas in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Tibet. , carry out pilot solar thermal power generation. The latest news is that the first domestic solar thermal power concession tender project was opened yesterday.
