National Development and Reform Commission of PRC Notes on the Issue of China Wind Power Generation Reduction Recently some reviews of Chinese wind farm CDM projects have been requested by the Executive Board (EB) due to the difference between the net grid power supply and the theoretical annual power generation designed in the feasibility study reports. To address this issue, the Climate Change Department of NDRC (hereafter referred to as the Department) invited relevant entities, enterprises, DOEs, and research institutes to a seminar to discuss this issue in details. In addition, the Department entrusted the Hydropower and Water Resources Planning and Design General Institute (hereinafter referred to as HWPDI) to provide authoritative technical explanations and clarifications. HWPDI is the designated technical management entity for the preliminary work of China wind farm construction projects and the exclusive technical authority of verifying the feasibility study reports of wind farms in China. Please refer to the Appendix for its profile. Now, according to the conclusions of the seminar and the materials provided by the HWPDI, the Department explains the issue of China Wind Power Generation Reduction as follows, as a reference for validations by DOEs and reviews by the EB. 1. Terms and Definitions The theoretical Gross Energy Output of Wind Farms (GEO) refers to the electricity energy output calculated in an ideal condition in accordance with the on-site measurement data and evaluation of local wind resources. When calculating the GEO of a wind farm, several factors are not taken into consideration, i.e., the wake effect of wind turbine generator systems (WTGS), the on-site air density; the instability of wind speed and directions, and climate; the availability of (WTGS), electric equipments a
