据阿拉伯贸易7月15日消息称，新一代市场情报提供商透明市场研究(TMR)的一份新报告显示，到2031年，全球风电市场的估值将超过1.5万亿美元。

　　在收入方面，由于诸多因素，预计中国和全球风电市场在预测期内将以约 10% 的复合年增长率增长。

　　电力需求的增长和风力涡轮机部件技术的不断进步为全球的风力发电市场创造了有利可图的机会。政府出台的风电零补贴电价平价政策有望在不久的将来推动全球风电市场的发展。

　　在预测期内，玻璃复合材料等风力涡轮机材料设计方面的技术创新预计将推动全球风力发电市场的发展。由现代玻璃复合材料制成的较小部件更便宜，而且易于运输和组装。

　　此外，这些组件易于安装和维修。这样可以降低安装和维护成本。目前，大多数安装的风力涡轮机都不是数字化的。通过连接计算设备(如传感器技术、集成智能监控和优化算法)升级这些涡轮机，使涡轮机能够发送和接收数据。

　　风力发电机运行的监测是一个繁琐的过程，因为设备的几何结构复杂，包括大量的驱动器，集成应变片等。在这些计算设备的帮助下，个人可以不断监测风力涡轮机的运行数据，并从风力涡轮机的运行中获得更大的效率。

　　随着技术的发展，风力涡轮机可以适应更复杂的操作。例如，带宽从4G升级到5G，帮助海上风力涡轮机的资产所有者从遥远的地理位置更快地访问数据。使用无人机对海上风力涡轮机进行状态监测是技术进步的另一个例子。

　　许多公司现在专注于在海上安装风力涡轮机，因为海上风力涡轮机比陆上风力涡轮机更有效地利用风力资源。

　　将这些图像拼接在一起可以在早期识别任何维护问题。因此，预计在不久的将来，对来自可持续能源的电力需求的增加和风力涡轮机技术的不断进步将推动中国和全球风电市场的发展。

　　Wind power market to top $1.5trn by 2031, says study

　　The global wind power market will surpass valuation of $ 1.5 trillion by 2031, according to a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), a next-generation market intelligence provider.

　　In terms of revenue, the China and global wind power market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of ~10% during the forecast period, owing to numerous factors, regarding which TMR offers thorough insights and forecasts in its report on the global wind power market.

　　Rise in demand for electricity and continuous technological advancements regarding parts used in wind turbines are creating lucrative opportunities for the wind power market across the globe. Governmental initiatives for achieving subsidy-free grid price parity for wind power are anticipated to boost the global wind power market in the near future.

　　Technological innovations with respect to design of wind turbine materials such as glass composites are expected to drive the global wind power market during the forecast period. Smaller components made of modern glass composites are cheaper, and easy to transport and assemble.

　　Furthermore, these components are easy to install and repair. This reduces the installation and maintenance costs. Currently, majority of wind turbines installed are not digital. Upgrading these turbines through the connection of computing devices (such as sensor technology, integrating intelligent monitoring, and optimization algorithms) enables turbines to send and receive data.

　　The monitoring of wind turbine operations is a cumbersome process owing to the complex geometry of equipment consisting of large number of actuators, integrating strain gauges, etc. With the help of these computing devices, an individual can constantly monitor the data of functioning of a wind turbine and achieve greater efficiency from wind turbine operations.

　　As technology evolves, wind turbines can adapt to more sophisticated operations. For instance, bandwidth upgrade from 4G to 5G has helped an asset owner of offshore wind turbine to access the data much faster from a geographically far location. The usage of drones for condition monitoring of offshore wind turbines is another example of technological advancement.

　　Many companies are now focusing on installation of wind turbines at offshore locations, as offshore wind turbines utilize wind resources more efficiently than onshore wind turbines.

　　Stitching these images together enables identification of any maintenance issue at an early stage. Thus, higher demand for electricity from sustainable sources and continuous technological advancements in wind turbines are estimated to drive the global wind power market in the near future.
