Global Trends in Wind Power Generation: The Reasons Behind the Retreat of Europe and America and the Rise of China

Wind energy is a clean energy source that is on par with solar energy. Therefore, how to convert wind energy into electricity has become a top priority in today's energy revolution.

However, surprisingly, the first European and American countries to promote wind power generation have now begun dismantling wind turbines. Not only that, they also refer to wind power as' garbage electricity '.

Dismantling of wind turbines in European and American countries

So, what is the power generation principle of wind turbines? Why do European and American countries refer to wind power as "junk electricity" and resist it, but China is still vigorously developing it?

Part of the reason why European and American countries dismantle wind turbines is due to their impact on the environment.

Working with a wind turbine, the blades rotate at a fast speed. During this process, not only does it generate continuous noise, but it also poses a serious threat to birds. Birds are usually phototactic, and the rotation of wind turbine blades reflects sunlight. Many birds are attracted by the light, and when they fly over, they are easily killed by the high-speed rotating blades.

According to statistics from the United States, over 50000 wind turbines cause an average of 573000 birds to be hanged each year.

This data is very scary

Of course, one of the fundamental reasons why European and American countries resist wind turbines is the unstable power generation of wind turbines, and connecting power generation to the grid is also a challenge.

Due to this reason, European and American countries have had to dismantle a large number of wind turbines.

Why is China vigorously developing wind power generation?

While European and American countries are dismantling wind turbines one after another, China is vigorously promoting wind power projects nationwide.

Especially in the western and eastern coastal regions, large-scale wind power plants have been built.

The reason why China is doing this is also very simple, that is, our country has a vast land area and many sparsely populated areas, which are very suitable for building wind turbines.

Taking the western region as an example, most of the areas here are uninhabited and windy all year round. Establishing wind turbines in such places not only eliminates concerns about environmental hazards, but also ensures stable power generation throughout the year, which is actually a win-win situation.

In addition, China's wind turbines, including special patented technologies, can be easily connected to the grid without worrying about voltage and current mismatch with the national power grid.
