Read and write reviews about GIZ China Wind Power Project @ CWPC China Wind Power Center. CWPC is a Wind Power Training and Applied Research project aiming at improving the planning and operation of wind farms and related electricity grids through capacity building among Chinese engineers and technicians active in the wind power sector. The ultimate aim is to improve the efficiency of renewable energy utilization in China and to allow renewable energies to fully utilize their potential for CO2 reduction in electricty generation. CWPC was setup in 2005 as a cooperation project funded by Germany's Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development BMZ and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce MOFCOM. The political partners are SGCC - State Grid Corporation of China and GUOADIAN - China Guodian Corporation. The project implementation is undertaken by CEPRI - China Electric Power Research Institute and CLYPG - China Long Yuan Electric Power Corporation and GIZ - German International Cooperation Agency. The consulting components are implemented by MVV - DECON GmbH with the help of GOPA-intec and a large number of German wind power consulting and research organizations (e.g. ISET. IWET, Deutsche WindGuard, BFW, RWTH, FGW, MOE,..). Phase 1 of the project went form April 2005 through Oktober 2010 Phase 2 started in November 2011 and will last until Oktober 2014 CWPC changed its name to China Wind Power Project - CWPP in 2007 due to the fact that a unified physical centre would not be established but unstead both partners CLYPG and CEPRI were establishing their own specialized centres. CWPC continued as a virtual entity at www.cwpc.cn In Phase 2 the technical activities are a set of components within the larger CWPP - China Wind Power PROGRAMME, where GIZ is also implementing advise on Renewable Energy Policy aspects. The techncial components are still implemented by mvv-decon and also GOPA-intec. China Wind Power Project now refers to the technical components of the China Wind Power Programme.
