Technology transformation reinforces China's wind of change

Alfredo Parres, head of ABB's wind industry sector initiative, reports on China's fast-evolving wind industry and how it is adopting new technologies to reduce losses and increase penetration of wind energy on the grid.

As part of its drive to reduce carbon emissions and protect its environment and future economy, the Chinese government is pushing hard to develop the country's wind energy sector. As a result, Chinese wind energy has entered a new phase, which is seeing the emphasis change from building generating capacity to improving its performance and integrating wind energy.
