Research on Wind Power Operation and Accommodation Problems in China

With the rapid development of wind power in China, it is an urgency issue to solve the problems of wind power accommodating and curtailment . Based on the comparison with the European and American countries, this paper analyzes the wind power characteristics in China, including development speed, large-scale, high voltage integration, long-distance transmission, intermittent, and random characteristic, etc. It is pointed out that the causes of difficulty to accommodate large scale wind power are structural contradictions of power resources and inadequate capacity of interregional grid transmission . In order to improve the wind power accommodation level, the next road map is presented such as building inter-provincial grid, optimizing structures of power sources, constructing matched policy, etc.
