1. Chapter 3 Wind Power of the world

2. 3.1 Development and utilization of wind energy in China  3.1.1 Wind power generation  3.1.2 Wind farm construction  3.1.3 Future development and problems in China

4. 3.1.1 Wind power generation  From 80s, the 50W-200W micro wind-power generator  Currently there are about 30 manufacturers of micro wind-power generators across the country  produce an annual output reaching 10,000 units  total generating capacity of 17 MW  now 140,000 units of this type of generator that have been successfully applied

5. 3.1.2 Wind farm construction  now 160 wind power generating plants in place with the maximum capacity of any single unit being 500 kW, total capacity 30 MW, and annual electricity generation approaching 80 GWh.

6. 3.1.2 Wind farm construction  The Dabancheng Wind Farm in Xinjiang is the largest in China, with its installed capacity exceeding 10 MW.  At present, there are more than 10 wind farms being planned.

7. 3.1.3 Future development and problems in China  Total installed wind power capacity to 30,000 MW by the year 2020  A lack of specialized

8. 3.2 Wind Power in other countries The European community set up a project to develop renewable energy in 2001, aiming to make electricity produced from renewable sources contributes 12% of the whole European electricity system requirements. In 2002, total electricity production by wind was 32000MG, while the countries belong to the European Community accounted for 74% of the whole world.
