Review on Wind Power Development and Relevant Policies between China and Japan

摘要

China has abundant wind energy resources and huge development potential among developing countries. Japan is a developed country that planned to increase the use of renewable energy, especially wind energy. This research is aimed at reviewing the development of wind power and relevant policies between China and Japan. Firstly, we introduced the current status of global wind power development, such as the global installed capacity of wind power. The annual development of wind power generation in China and Japan is compared, and the distribution characteristics of wind resources are compared. Furthermore, the market share in China and Japan is introduced. Finally, according to the comparison of the government policies between China and Japan, we pointed out the existing problems in the wind power industry. In addition, we gave some suggestions on the development of wind power for China and Japan. These suggestions should be taken into account when designing national climate policies and have an important reference value for the future development of China's wind energy industry.
