Abstract

As the technology develops, coal becomes the most popular energy source with its low price. The burning of the coal produces greenhouse gas which can severely polluted the environment. Policies were made for countries to reach their fore emission reduction. Wind power is a good replacement for coal burning to China, one of the largest consumer countries for coal. China been through 3 stages in developing wind energy, from 1986-2005, China mainly focuses on introducing foreign technology; From 2005-2010, Chinese government begins to develop its own wind energy technology. Since 2010 China has developed of a complete wind energy industry chain. Till today, China already has mature wind energy technology and is starting to implement it, after. et al. investigation, the Tibetan Plateau is a very suitable area for building wind energy, they have higher altitude areas, and the wind speed can be as high as 14m/s, the local area also possesses environmental pollution problems due to the burning of cow dung in winter as fuel. DFIGs and DDPMGs are two models that leading team found capable of working in the wind speed instability area. With Zhang et als’ research shows the construction of the wind power factory to reach zero emission needs twos times copper and nickel materials that earth has. The environmental impact of constructing wind factories and the availability of different metals will also be a concern in the future.
