CWP2024 is not only the ‘wind vane’ and ‘barometer’ of China's wind power industry, but also an important platform for international wind power industry exchanges and cooperation, which strongly promotes the high-quality development of China's wind power industry and contributes to China's strength in global climate governance. It is an important platform for international wind power industry exchanges and cooperation, which will strongly promote the high-quality development of China's wind power industry and contribute China's power to global climate governance.
As a full-stack partner in the era of large megawatts, SKF adheres to long-termism and creates a sustainable future with wind power customers, and during CWP2024, SKF made an appearance with thematic arguments and innovative technologies.
Adherence to wind power long-termism
Today in the main hall of Hall W3, Dr Qian Weihua, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of SKF China, was invited to participate in the Entrepreneurs' Forum on “Building a Stable and Strong Global Supply Chain”. During the forum, Dr Qian said that the wind power industry should not only take cost and iteration speed as the only measuring factors, but also ignore the cost of the whole life cycle of wind turbines and ‘discount’ the quality. Model iteration is too fast, small steps fast approach does not fully solve the technical challenges brought about by the large-scale, the industry needs to maintain a sense of reverence for technology and quality. Let each platform life cycle a little longer, ‘slow is fast’, patiently to solve these problems at the source.
Avoiding Unsustainable Involvement
In addition, Zhao Feng (Strategy Director of GWEC), moderator of the forum, exchanged views on the current trend of local substitution of core components in the wind power industry, and Dr Qian said: ‘We welcome the competition on the same stage, but we need to avoid unsustainable involution, we should pay more attention to the whole life cycle cost of the wind turbine, and the market will ultimately return to rationality. ’ In line with the opening ceremony in the morning, ‘China's wind power industry to maintain a level playing field in the market’ signing ceremony of the theme of the spirit.
