The three-day Beijing International Wind Energy Conference is being held in Beijing. As a "barometer" and "weathervane" for China's wind power industry, it has attracted tens of thousands of professional visitors from countries and regions around the world. Data shows that China's cumulative wind power installation capacity accounts for nearly half of the global total. The Chinese wind power industry chain has been continuously evolving and upgrading, growing into a significant force in the global wind power industry.

This year's Wind Energy Conference focuses on the entire wind power industry chain, comprehensively showcasing advanced technologies and solutions in key components such as wind turbines and blades, as well as in engineering hoisting and operation maintenance. Additionally, the exhibition features three special themed displays on hydrogen energy, offshore engineering and equipment, and new energy storage, offering a fresh viewing experience and highlighting the future development direction of China's wind power industry.

The latest report from the Global Wind Energy Council shows that the annual global new wind power installation capacity reached gigawatts, a year-on-year increase of %, setting a new historical high. Among them, China accounted for nearly % of the global new installation capacity with gigawatts of new capacity. From January to October this year, China's wind power generation was close to billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the country's total power generation, and has become the third largest source of electricity in China.

Secretary General of the Wind Energy Committee of the Chinese Renewable Energy Society, Qin Haiyan, stated, "China's cumulative installed capacity of wind power has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, while the global cumulative installed capacity is slightly over 100 million kilowatts. China basically accounts for half of the global installed capacity. China's wind power will play an increasingly important role in the global development of wind power, global energy transformation, and addressing climate change."

Journalists on-site observation found that the speed of innovation in exhibiting products is increasing, and the scale of wind power equipment is getting larger. The world's largest megawatt-class offshore wind turbine, which has already rolled off the production line, features the longest wind turbine blades in the world, exceeding a length equivalent to that of two passenger jets; its power output is — times that of mainstream wind turbines, capable of generating 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, sufficient to meet the annual electricity needs of 1.2 million ordinary households; among them, key components such as the generator, blades, bearings, and electrical control systems have all reached world-leading levels, representing the latest achievements in the rapid technological iteration of China's wind power equipment industry chain.

From the cross-section of the blade, we can see that its interior is hollow, with the main beam section made of high-strength carbon fiber, and the body of the blade made of high-performance glass fiber. This combination allows the blade to be made longer and more robust. From large-scale onshore power generation to deep cultivation in the deep sea, from comprehensive solutions for special climate environments to the development of energy storage systems, China's wind power industry chain continues to iterate, upgrade, and grow, becoming an important force in the global wind power industry.
