European wind power industry development highlights the advantages
Recently, wind energy associations from Austria, that even though the international financial crisis caused by the Austrian export industry has more impact, but wind power industry in Austria is continuing prosperity. Benefit from wind power in recent years in the international electricity market share increase, the wind power generation equipment and products, growing demand, wind power control system, leaves equipment, generators and energy conversion systems, as well as the implementation of the entire wind power solutions Austria wind power industry¡¯s major export markets have more. Austria, in 2007 wind power industry exports reached 250 million euros, in 2008 also increased by 20% and exports exceeded 3 billion euros. Austrian Wind Energy Association, said Stephen Chi-han, "the Austrian wind power industry¡¯s prosperity is no accident, it can be seen as the European wind power industry are the overall development of the microcosm."
In the context of the international financial crisis, the European situation is not much optimistic about the industry sector, but the wind power sector is full of opportunities for development. According to the International Energy Agency predicts that by 2030 wind power can provide electricity all over the world demand for 9%. European Wind Energy Association said wind power generation to meet electricity demand in Europe 4%, a total of 65,000 megawatts of wind generating capacity entered the European power grid by 2020, the European wind power in the electricity market share will reach 14% -- 18% for the EU to create 350,000 new jobs. This means that the next 20 years Europe has enormous wind power market, the demand for wind power equipment will also be synchronized rapid growth. Therefore, wind power continues to be the EU as a green, reliable and have market potential of new energy forms, and take the initiative to increase the selection of the investment in wind power market. Only the EU¡¯s 2008 wind power more than a total investment of 11 billion euros, an increase of wind power capacity of 8484 MW, has created 160,000 jobs, wind power industry has become the EU generating capacity, one of the fastest-growing areas.
The protection of energy security, climate change actively under the guidance of the principle, the EU Member States in recent years and related efforts to encourage companies to increase wind power technology, equipment R & D investment, effectively promoted the development of the European wind power markets and related industries in the area of access to the international competitive advantage. The current installed capacity of wind power in the world top 10 countries, the EU member states accounted for seven, the world¡¯s leading wind power markets in Europe also. At the same time, from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Nordic enterprises dominate the global supplier of equipment market, its technology, equipment and services have been exported all over the world. EU countries make use of wind power industry and its related Driven Design, processing, building materials, insurance and finance-related industries, such as the common development of wind power industry has become an important European leader of high-tech-intensive industries.
It is worth mentioning that, in the European Union and the Member States, encouraged by government policies, the EU wind power companies wind power upgrade technology and equipment levels, effectively reducing the cost of production to protect its dominant position in international markets. To Austria, for example, the Austrian Wind Energy Association estimates that if wind power business-to-the fruits of technological innovation can be an effective application and promotion, through technological progress and scale of production equipment, serialization and standardization of the next 10 years, land-based wind power in Austria The average cost of equipment at the current level can be reduced by more than 20% on the sea wind turbine equipment can reduce the average cost of more than 40%, so that the wind industry, the overall cost of electricity has dropped significantly. Taking into account the EU¡¯s commitment to its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions in 1990 based on the reduction of at least 20%, and are willing to work with other major emitters will work together to improve the emission reduction targets of 30%, the future for a long period of time, wind power at EU compared with other forms of electrical energy will be more obvious competitive advantage.
