Year of Wind Power Quality Construction in 2012

Recently, the focus of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the Chinese Renewable Energy Society has been to study how to establish a wind power quality management system. This topic was commissioned by the National Energy Administration and was disclosed by relevant personnel of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration. This year, the main theme of the wind power industry is "quality", and in 2012, it was determined as the year of wind power quality construction.

Yu Guiyong, a member of the Wind Energy Professional Committee, introduced: “This system involves four aspects, namely, wind turbine equipment, wind farm construction, wind farm operation and maintenance, and information reporting. We are entrusted to our association and the Water Regulations Institute to jointly complete.”

According to the reporter’s understanding, the wind power quality management system is the implementation of the “Notice on Enhancing the Requirements for the Safety Management of Wind Farms” issued by the National Energy Administration last year (Guangneng Xinneng [2011] No. 373, hereinafter referred to as Document 373). .

The reason for accelerating the promotion of wind power quality management system is the frequent occurrence of wind power accidents at various links in recent years, such as the collapse of wind turbines, electric shocks, lifting accidents, large-scale off-grid and even clean maintenance, causing casualties and property losses.

The National Energy Administration found through investigation that the main reason for the above accidents was not because of immature wind power technology, but because of weak corporate safety awareness and inadequate safety management. As long as the operation is strictly in accordance with related regulations, major safety accidents can be completely avoided. of. In addition, the speed of the development of China's wind power industry has been raised, but its effectiveness has not been fully exerted. The wind power quality management system is a concrete measure for implementing the requirements for effective development of wind power proposed in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”.

The framework molding reporter learned that the specific content of the wind power quality management system is still being improved, but the basic framework has been formed.

It is reported that the core means of this system is to coordinate the development of wind farm developers and establish a database at the center of each link. This database hopes to monitor the operation of all wind turbines in the country. The monitoring includes the real-time operation of wind turbines, and the amount of power generated. , power, availability, failures, etc., will be considered by the wind power developers and equipment manufacturers as "trade secrets" and unwilling to disclose the quality of wind power equipment and wind farm operation information, into government departments and the industry can understand in real time Quantified evaluation indicators. At the same time, in the wind power industry to establish corporate quality files, for quality "trusted" companies, included in the "blacklist" and regularly announced to the community.

It is worth noting that the establishment of this database is not only connected to the wind farm monitoring system such as SCADA. Liu Mingliang, a professional committee of wind energy, told this reporter: “The main purpose of the SCADA system is different from the wind power monitoring and evaluation system, which provides The information will be more comprehensive."

It is reported that in order to allow wind power companies to cooperate, the National Energy Administration intends to link wind power companies' information uploading with the approval of wind power projects. This system promotes the transparent and orderly development of the industry, while also allowing companies to face greater competitive pressures. The quality performance of products cannot be concealed, and wind power accidents will be made public at the first time.

The second measure of the framework of the safety quality management system is mainly aimed at equipment manufacturers. It requires wind power equipment manufacturing companies to formulate detailed manuals for hoisting operation and maintenance of wind turbines, encourage wind power equipment manufacturers to establish a complete product use training system, and Regular training.

Other measures include strengthening the qualification management of the wind power industry. In the future, relevant companies and staff must hold a qualification certificate before they can engage in the work of wind farms; in case of common problems or typical accidents with a relatively large scope of impact, the relevant units shall issue corresponding counter-measures in time. Accident measures and industry early warning information. In the future, at least one industry-wide wind power operation quality survey will be conducted at least once a year.

Qin Haiyan, secretary-general of the Wind Energy Professional Committee, said: “The establishment of this system can do the following: First, summarize the common issues. For example, what components are prone to failure and what are the impacts of different wind conditions and environmental conditions on unit performance and reliability? These summaries are conducive to optimizing wind power operation strategies and improving the quality of operations.Secondly, drafting or improving relevant standards and norms for common issues should not only be made in accordance with regulations, but also improve the advancedness, effectiveness, and applicability of standards. Third, we will promote the successful experience and advanced methods of corporate safety qualification management to the industry, and promote the overall quality level."

However, the effectiveness of wind power quality management system is not easy to establish, wind power companies lack the power to provide real data, and do not report anxieties, exaggerate results, report the accident can not be eliminated, this point, the policy makers know what Ming, the staff of the wind energy professional committee told reporters that at least this system is better than nothing. In addition, industry sources stated that the training of wind power equipment manufacturers on developers is not satisfactory because the operation and maintenance of wind turbines is like a “4S” shop for automobiles, which is another profit growth point for wind turbine equipment manufacturers. Common sense. Finally, the content of the wind power quality management system is very complicated. Although China has mature experience in thermal power and hydropower, its establishment has not been completed overnight. Optimistic estimates will need to be implemented as early as next year.
