Abstract

Wind power generation has been considered as a generally accepted utility technology in renewable energy generation around the world. China´s government recently paid great attention and pushed hard on with the renewable energy and its applications. This paper provides an overall perspective of the development and trend of wind power in China. The potential resources of wind power and the current wind turbine systems distribution in China are mentioned. The prospect of wind power industry in China is analyzed. The development of wind turbine technology is introduced. The representative topologies of wind turbine system and the newest research on direct drive technology are described and analyzed. In China, there is a wide and sustainable wind power industry market, which will provide infinite opportunity and challenge for every country.
