The
monitoring
system
–
which
is
still
at
the
planning
stage
–
would
collect
data
on
availability
and
average
utilisation
hours,
says
Hu
Runqing,
professor
at
the
Energy
Research
Institute
(ERI)
of
the
National
Development
and
Reform
Commission
(NDRC).
Speaking
at
the
China
Wind
Energy
Equipment
Association
conference
in
Shanghai,
Hu
says
the
monitoring
system
aims
to
promote
“the
elimination
of
backward
equipment”.
“We
have
over
80
turbine
makers
but
no
standards
for
evaluation.
They
all
claim
to
be
good,
but
there’s
no
third-party
certifier
and
no
open
measurement
and
evaluation
system.”
