Foreword
The potential cooperation opportunity available for the development of Sino-Korean wind power enterprises (WPEs) should be studied based on the comparison and analysis of their competitive advantages. As a basic form of analysis of potential cooperation opportunities, the results of the evaluation of the competitive advantages of the Sino-Korean WPEs were obtained in terms of the following two aspects. First, the results of the integrated evaluation reveal that WPEs such as China’s Goldwind1, Sinovel2, DEC3, and XEMC4 as well as Korea’s Unison5 and Hanjin6 have superior competitive advantages over their competitors. These advantages are in terms of stronger financial strength and background resources accumulated over a long period of development, superior capability of R&D and local production for the megawatt (MW)-scale wind turbine generator systems (WTGs) and their better development achievements in wind farms, and a larger perspective of development. Second, the preliminary conclusions of the study mentioned above show that the potential cooperation opportunities for the development of Korea’s WPEs in China’s wind power market exist due to the competitive advantages that Korea’s WPEs have in comparison to those of China. Based on this preliminary conclusion, this paper will make a further study to continually seek and explore the potential cooperation opportunities available between the Chinese and Korean WPEs.（更多內容下載附件）
