  Due to a series of supporting policies in recent years, China wind power has
developed rapidly through a large-scale and centralized mode. This paper
analyzes the two major concerns faced by wind power development in China: wind
generation reliability and wind energy balancing. More specifically, wind farm
tripping-off-grid incidents and wind power curtailment issues, which caused
huge economical loss, are investigated in details. Based on operation
experience of large wind power bases, technical recommendations and economic
incentives are proposed to improve wind power integration and power grid
reliability. As a summary and outlook of wind power development in China, this
paper provides a reference on future wind power development for other
countries.
