中国和韩国风电企业竞争优势分析

1 中国和韩国风电企业竞争优势分析 Analyzing Competitive Advantages for Sino-Korean Wind Power Enterprises 庄 幸 Analyzing the Competition in China’s Wind Power Market At present, the total accumulated installed capacity of the wind turbine generator systems (WTGs) in China accounts for 10% of the total global wind power market, and China is one of the top five wind power markets in the world. China’s wind power technology has basically matured, but the manufacturing cost of WTGs in China is expected to drop, while some key components continue to be imported. Though the price of foreign WTGs is over 20% higher than that of Chinese WTGs, foreign WTGs can still achieve a higher market share because of their advanced technology. When the Chinese wind power manufacturers faced a technological disadvantage, the global wind power giants introduced advanced technologies and manufacturing experiences in China to develop wind power technology by establishing foreign companies or entering into joint ventures. For example, the Spanish enterprise Gamesa, the world’s second largest wind power manufacturer, built a wind turbine manufacturing base in Tianjin, China. Thus, the global wind power giants may not only decrease the manufacturing and transportation costs but also meet the local production rates of wind power equipments, regulated by the National Development and Reform Commission of China. This situation will intensify the competition in China’s wind power market. The statistical data of wind power in 2006 (Shi Pengfei, 2007) show the following: with regard to the accumulated installed wind power capacity, the foreign and Chinese enterprises account for 65.8% and 30.9%, respectively, while for the newly installe...
