In
its
‘wind
power
science
and
technology
development
five-year
plan’
under
China’s
Ministry
of
Science
and
Technology
(MOST),
the
government
urges
industry
to
achieve
a
“breakthrough”
on
assembly
of
10MW
offshore
wind
turbines
within
the
plan’s
timeframe
of
2011-2015.
It
also
encourages
equipment
makers
to
“master
the
manufacturing
of
3-5MW
direct-drive
wind
turbines
as
well
as
7MW
wind
turbines
and
components”.
The
turbines'
“functions
and
reliability
should
reach
world-leading
levels”
and
they
should
enter
commercialisation.
The
plan,
published
on
the
MOST
website,
is
part
of
Beijing’s
long-term
push
to
raise
the
level…
