Environmental Turbulence Analysis of the Wind Power Industry Chain

Abstract:

Chinese wind power industry needs to raise the flexibility level to adapt the dynamic and complex environment. It is imperative to help the wind power industry to alleviate the influence of environmental turbulence. This paper established an analysis structure for environmental turbulence types including technological dynamic, supply and demand complexity, competitiveness confrontation and policy uncertainty. A questionnaire was designed and used to investigate the main influencing components in different types from experts in the field of wind power industry. By using the method of factors analysis, 19 main components are identified as having a significant influence on the environmental turbulence. The results revealed that the stabilization of wind power industry requires a combined effort from the enterprises and government.
