Liaoning Kangping Zhangqiang Wind49 MW Wind

WindRenewable

The Liaoning Kangping Zhangqiang Wind is a key infrastructure asset in China's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 49 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the China Longyuan Power Group Corporation, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within China, Liaoning Kangping Zhangqiang Wind occupies the #90 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 49 MW capacity represents a 0.10% share of China's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 50,905 MW. The largest operational wind installation in China is the Gansu Wind Farm with an output of 6,000 MW, making the Liaoning Kangping Zhangqiang Wind approximately 122.4 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0030% of China's aggregate generation capacity of 1,617,141 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 128,772 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in China consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 42,924 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Liaoning Kangping Zhangqiang Wind contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping China advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 42.6667° latitude and 123.0000° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Kangping power station (coal-fired, 1200 MW), the Fangjiatun (wind-powered, 49.5 MW), the Liaoning Faku Maanshan North Wind (wind-powered, 49 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of China.

Understanding Wind Power Generation: A Comprehensive Overview

Wind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
